very cool

 

[Juanka]

Awesomeness! Family should be very proud of him.

 

[Themadcane]

Nice… but how much does he bench

[AtlAtty]

245 pounds on the bar, assuming it is 45 pounds. Does anyone know power lifting well enough to know whether that is a good weight for a 17 year old?

I looked exactly the same at 17.





























But I was drunk that day.

@JHallCanes

Depends on what he’s doing here. I’m gonna assume it’s a full on power clean but can’t really say much

I’m sure there will be some goobers in here that would be like “errm back in my day I power cleaned 500” but not really any context here

Could be a max. Could be his 100th rep. Could be just a clean.

I’ll just say that from what I’ve seen from the kid so far, I’m impressed. Could have had high bust potential based on work ethic and general ****ery but he sure seems ready to work

Power cleans seem like a tough movement for a person with long arms and legs as well.

 

[HurricanePhilly]

Kid works hard. Not quite ready to be a poster on CIS based on that weight. But maybe someday.

Absolutely is. Plus there’s a lot of technique involved where like if you’re a powerlifter you have a goal of a certain PR where this kid might be doing 100 reps in a conditioning program setting

By the looks of our freshmen DL so far conditioning seems to be a big focal point (seeing how lean Scott looked for example) so I’m guessing it’s part of Felds programming

 

[grover]

Whatever we get out of Blount in 2024 is icing. We need him to contribute in 2025 and be the man in 2026.

He better be banging a minimum of 3 different chicks per day, all new too, if he wants to post on here

Simply awesome!

@JHallCanes

That's 225 lbs.

 

[AtlAtty]

That's 225 lbs.

He has a 10 pound plate on the outside. Assuming he has the same weight on both sides, he has 245.
45 pound bar, (4) 45 pound plates=225+2 (10) pound plates=245

Zoom in on the bar.

You right. I missed the 10's on the end. Good eye!

 

[gacaneaddict]

My best guess is 6'4 270 right now?

I think eventually is a 6'4 285-290 athletic 3 tech.

 

[Arehel]

Definitely a hang or power clean, my guess is hang.

Either way, for a high school athlete to do those movements at a descent technique, it's a great thing.

 

[Cane_J15]

I'm not gonna lie I was really questioning if he was worth all the trouble and his ranking. But jfc let me say I was completely wrong so far dudes body looks great. Looks like he's working hard looks pretty slim to I wonder what he weighs now! Lookin like a DE
