Good, but not amazing. In fact I just got back from my workout and I pushed up 595 4 times.........

regardless of the accuracy of this report, if mike stays healthy he is going to have a very big year.

Bench press, not leg press.

 

[Taosman]

He's gonna "rag doll" a lot of offensive lineman! Some lineman will have him up on shaken baby charges!

 

[BB73]

Very impressive. I just hope he doesn't overdo it and tear a pectoral muscle like a certain fullback did.

How do you get someone to spot for you when you lift that much? Do you get a guy at each end of the bar and then maybe someone behind you in case your eyes are bigger than your arms?

that's pretty much right on. You usually try to get three or four people around you.

thats bananas

 

[Swedish Chef]

Bah, I'm not impressed. I thought about doing that earlier today but I wanted a challenge so I didn't. :)

I'd tend to think he had the whole team behind him... (not to mention thousands of fans)

Something gleaned from Mike's dad on BN:

Two weeks ago Mike broke his own OSU bench press record (565 lbs.) with a new mark of (585 lbs.)

Yesterday Mike broke his own OSU 225 lbs bench record (46 reps) with a mark of (52 reps).

This year a offensive guard from BYU (Scott Young) tied the NFL combine 225 lbs. record with (43 reps).

 

[lvbuckeye]

52 reps is nearly unfathomable to me...
to put it in perspective:
LaRoi Glover won the Pro Bowl Challenge with 31 reps...

Fantastic, especially considering the near fatal illness (i.e. Stevens Johnson Syndrome) he had after the Fiesta Bowl:

However, the real test of strength is: How many offensive linemen can he "clean and jerk"?

 

[BuckBackHome]

That is amazing. I agree with the others that the best news is he is obviously fully recovered from his illness. I anticipate great things from him this season.

 

[AJHawkfan]

Damn! Thos numbers are all very impressive!
