Thats what OSUBuckeye4life just Pm'd me. Sorry I was speaking from the way it is done for every other normal HS athlete. John Simon is clearly not normal, and is an absolute beast if this is true.

That would only mean that he did more than any player at the NFL combine, all of whom are 3-4 years older and have had at least 3 years in a college strength and conditioning program. No big deal.

Tattoo of "Strength and Honor"

I know one guy who can appreciate that:

 

[OHSportsFan]

47 reps @ 225

NFL Combine record is 51...Mike Kudla had 45...

that is serious strength.

 

[craigblitz]

47 reps of 225

Wow.... that is incredible!!!

Have the sudden urge to inject a gallon of trenbolone into myself now...

that is serious strength.

Which is why the "Best Of" categories on Rivals made me laugh when Simon wasn't #1 on "The Strongest"...tell me who else can do that? I felt huge when I got 225 10 times the other day, but 47...wow.

47 reps is insane! I know the one "knock" on John has been his weight. Based on those lifting numbers, hitting the weight room is probably not going to add alot of weight to John - for those in the know, how easy/hard is it going to be for John to get up to 295ish in college?

I went to HS with Kudla, so to imagine someone putting up more weight than he was in COLLEGE is just insane!

He does in fact have the frame to get up to the 290-300lb range. Keep in mind that he's still growing.
