Of course, I knew you knew that…. :)
Haha it’s all good! You were on it. People like the bench press numbers (and who doesn’t?) but you see those Olympic lifts that require a lot of extra full body power, it’s pretty impressive!

Kid looks like an old school glory years d tackle like Miami was known for back in the day....
 
A defensive tackle that came to Miami, played TE in high school, sounds familiar?
I promise you that’s who I see when I watch his tape. Especially knowing the OG was like this coming out of high school as well. If we hit the JACKPOT again. We will be returning to our GLORY DAYS.

That guy is strong ASF, but how would that translate to a football field. I know a power movement. Is that good for bull rush or explosion off the ball?
The snatch and the clean and jerk develop explosive power and speed so would translate to football that regard. Feld probably programs in cleans during the offseason.

I dabbled in both years ago. My trainer had 10 points of focus in snatch technique and I was always mentally wiped out after training, even with a max weight of only 135 pounds (like I said, I dabbled, and was already in my early 40s).
