yea, i got you brah. here's one from a year ago:
A CLOSER LOOK
Quarterbacks
Stephen Morris only tested in the bench last year, putting up 275 pounds. This year he benched 285 pounds. He also had a 375-pound squat and 308-pound power clean. Ryan Williams put on significant strength and size. His power clean went from 230 to 242 and his bench from 265 to 275, and his vertical went from 25.5 inches to 28 inches. His body fat increased from 12.8 percent to 16.4 percent. Gray Crow made the biggest jump for this spot in the weight room - he went from 335 to 375 in the squat and from 250 to 265 in the bench. His vertical also improved from 22.5 to 25.5 inches.
Running backs
Eduardo Clements, coming off surgery, is almost back to where he was pre-injury. His bench last fall was 415; it is now back to 415. His power clean was 242 last year and is now 235, and his bench was 270 and is now 265. His body fat went from 9.3 percent last year to 11.1 percent. Duke Johnson made strides, increasing his squat from 375 to 405 and his bench from 285 to 315. Dallas Crawford's strength numbers remained similar (405 pound squat this year with a 264-pound power clean and 315-pound bench) but his vertical went from 27 inches to 29.5.
Wide receivers
One of the biggest gains here came from Jontavious Carter, whose squat went from 300 to 345 and had his power clean go from 220 to 252. Phillip Dorsett also made nice strides, going from a 385-pound squat to 405 pounds with his power clean improving from 252 to 274. His vertical also went off the charts, from 33 inches last year to 39 this year. In addition to going from a 4.6 to a 4.4 in the 40, Herb Waters also went from a 315-pound squat to 365 and improved his power clean from 176 to 252. His vertical went from 33 to 35 inches and his body fat decreased from 6.5 percent to 5.1 percent. Malcolm Lewis is still working to get his strength back coming off injury. He squatted 375 pounds last year and is now at 355, and his power clean was at 252 and is now 242. His vertical went down three inches to 26.5, but his bench went up from 265 to 300. He's working to lose body fat - he was at eight percent pre-injury and is now at 10.4 percent.
Tight ends
Asante Cleveland's strength numbers went up (from a 355-pound squat to 365, from a 252 power clean to 274 and from a 300 bench to 305) but perhaps the biggest stride he made was reducing his body fat from 14.9 percent to a trim 11 percent. He's lost almost 10 pounds from last season, giving him more mobility. Clive Walford only tested in the bench and vertical last year (330 and 31.5 respectively) - he had a 335-pound bench and 31.5-inch vertical this year. His body fat increased from 15.8 to 19.2, and he's put on close to 10 pounds.
Offensive line
Ereck Flowers made a huge jump up in this group. He went from a 365-pound squat to 425, his power clean went from 237 to 242 and his bench went from 350 to 405. His vertical also improved from 25 to 26.5, and his 31.2 percent body fat from last year is now at 25.8 percent. Seantrel Henderson only tested in the power clean (252) and bench (345) last year. This year he power cleaned 274 pounds and had a 335-pound bench. His body fat is 27.7 percent. Brandon Linder's bench jumped up 20 pounds, to 455. Coming off shoulder surgery Shane McDermott is working his way back. His squat went from 500 last year to 455, and his bench went from 415 to 405. But his power clean went from 286 to 308 and his body fat percentage went from 24.7 to 21.3. Jared Wheeler's squat went from 385 to 405 and his bench went from 320 to 345.
Defensive line
Anthony Chickillo made big strides, going from a 435 squat to 465 and improving his power clean from 318 to 342. Corey King only tested in the bench last year and did 425 pounds - he did 470 this year in addition to a 430-pound squat and 264-pound power clean. Jelani Hamilton only tested in the bench last year (330) and that is now 375. Earl Moore impressed, going from a 495-pound squat to 525. His body fat also went from 27.8 percent to 21.7.Olsen Pierre's strength numbers remained similar (425-pound squat this year with a 274-pound power clean and 375-pound bench), but he cut his body fat from 30.4 percent to 22.4. Curtis Porter's 535 pound squat was second-best on the team, and he improved his bench from 385 to 405 while his power clean went from 345 to 320. Luther Robinson went from a 425-pound squat to 445, his power clean went from 318 to 342, and his bench went from 355 to 385. Kelvin Cain improved from a 365-pound squat last year to 395, and his bench went from 285 to 310. Shayon Green went from a 415-pound bench to 440.
Linebackers
Tyrone Cornileus reshaped his body, going from a 415-pound squat to 455, from a 265-pound power clean to 286 and from a 335-pound bench to 340. Jimmy Gaines only tested in the bench last year (325), and he benched 330 this year. His squat was 500 and his power clean was 308. Raphael Kirby made a huge leap in the squat, going from 440 last year to 515, and his power clean went from 301 to 318. He gained 14 pounds. Tyriq McCord went from a 415 squat to 470, and his bench went from 300 to 345. Denzel Perryman was the team champion in the squat (555, up from 515) and was second in the power clean (342, up from 318). He was fifth in the bench (435, up from 400). His body fat went from 7.1 to 13.7, and he put on 16 pounds since last year.
Defensive backs
Tracy Howard had the biggest gains here, going from a 300-pound squat to 365 with his power clean going from 220 to 232 and his bench from 265 to 275. Nate Dortch made nice gains across the board, going from a 245-pound squat to 265 and improving his power clean from 220 to 230 while his bench improved from 205 to 225. Ladarius Gunter had similar strides (345 squat improved to 365 and power clean went from 274 to 301). Gunter's vertical jumped up from 27.5 to 30.5 inches. Rayshawn Jenkins was another DB with significant progress in the weight room, going from a 355-pound squat to 370 while improving his power clean from 242 to 265 and his bench from 305 to 320. His body fat went from 11.3 to 15.9 percent, and his vertical went from 35 to 30.5. Kacy Rodgers' gains: He went from a 425-pound squat to 455, from a 286-pound power clean to 308, and from a 370-pound bench to 400. Antonio Crawford made a big jump in the bench, going from 245 to 280. His 176-pound power clean from last year improved to 181, and his squat stayed at 275. Deon Bush's numbers took a little bit of a hit as he comes back from injury. His squat went from 435 to 405 but his power clean stayed at 264 and he improved his bench press from 295 to 335.
Special teams
Kicker Matt Goudis went from a 245-pound squat to 305, and his power clean improved from 206 to 242 while his bench went from 215 to 235. Punter Pat O'Donnell is a transfer, and he's a weight room standout. He tested at a 365-pound squat, 264-pound power clean and 365-pound bench.

THE TEAM
The team average took a jump in virtually every category tested compared to a year ago.
Overall the numbers are eye-popping.
A year ago the team's average in the squat was 377.5 pounds. Now it's 397.6. The power clean team average went from 255.17 pounds last year to 269.7 this year. And the bench press went from 319.45 pounds in 2012 to 327.85. The vertical jump testing remained basically the same, going from 28.92 inches to 29.02, and the team's body fat also remained almost unchanged, going from 14.88 percent to 14.78 percent. But combined with the weight gain that's impressive - last year the average weight for a Hurricane was 230.7 pounds; this year it's 236.05 pounds. Given that the body fat percentage remained virtually unchanged, that means the average player gained over five pounds of muscle in the off-season.
Broken down by position:
For the DB group the average squat went from 350.4 to 370.7, the average power clean from 241.6 to 246.9, and the bench from 287 to 294.7. The vertical decreased from 31.4 to 29.8, but that is deceiving because Deon Bush tested at 37.5 last year (best in the group) and didn't participate this year as he was rehabbing from injury.
For the DL group the average went from 409.5 in the squat to 443.9, from 275.7 in the power clean to 288.4, from 348.8 in the bench to 387.2, and the vertical average stayed at 26.6. The line's body fat percent increased from 23.6 to 25.8 percent. The average weight of the linemen went from 273.5 pounds last year to 290.9 pounds this year.
For the LB group the average went from 411.1 in the squat to 437.3, from 282.3 in the power clean to 290.1, from 335.5 in the bench to 346.7, and the vertical went from 31.8 to 30.6. The group's body fat percentage went from 7.8 to 12.4. The average weight of the linebackers went from 214.5 pounds last year to 233.5 pounds this year.
For the WR group the average went from 315.0 pounds in the squat to 359.5, the power clean went from 216.3 to 243.9, the bench went from 265.4 to 279, and the vertical went from 31.0 to 31.8.
For the OL group the average went from 428.1 pounds in the squat to 428.5, the power clean improved from 273.9 to 294.7 and the bench went from 375.0 to 376.5. The group's body fat percentage went from 18.4 to 18.3, and the group went from averaging 303.9 pounds per player to 309.4.
For the RB group the average went from 406.4 pounds in the squat last year to 414.4, the power clean went from 264.3 to 267.3 and the bench went from 331.3 to 333.9. This group also went from a 30.3 vertical to 29.9 but put on over 10 average pounds of muscle, from 202.6 pounds last year to 213.3 this year. The body fat percent stayed virtually the same, from 16.5 percent to 16.6 percent.
