what position does he play? Ever watch the agility drills that werner gunthor did -on youtube famous sweedish shot putter- he was 280ish 6'7 and moved like a cat also. He had some ridiculous jumping ability also. At his height I think he could drop little more fat and get quicker he is strong but needs little more quickness at his height.

BEAST!

@foodcartpeople considering he is a football player, why are you even comparing his bench to the powerlifter? strength is important but not the only goal. joe trains ATHLETES which I'm sure you realise, so why make such an unnecessary comparison. I doubt many, if any of your pure powerlifters could run as fast or jump as high as this guy, let alone play football as well.

@thinkweb2 Yes you are far from him because you are doing 215 for 7 reps(if its true) and not 345x9. Body weight is only a factor up to a certain point considering youd hope a 130lber after a little while can bench his own body weight, but you dont expect a 300lber noob to bench his bw after a little while. Regardless of bw this is a strong as hell lift and when you stop lifting girl weights you'll realize that

@MrWendellsowersiii also, you could be 5'6 and upper body focused only when it comes to your lifting, you know, the typical LA fitness guy that didn't quite make it in sports. 2 thumbs up for you.

@MrWendellsowersiii don't care. For all i know you can be on roids and it's bench press, not much of a functional lift when it comes to football. A lot of guys are weight room freaks and suck at football. I merely said that bc that dude was basically bragging.

@jediknight69 Thanks for informative response. I already lost hope for arguments from youtube crowd other than "ur just jealous", "ur just hating", "ur weak fatass". So I was wrong assuming 215x9 @170 is identical. According to wilks, it's ~280lbs for 9; certainly more challenging (my 1RM=255).
Btw from wiki: "occurs for a number of reasons relating to simple physics, the nature of the makeup and limitations of the human skeletal and muscular system and, the shorter leverages of smaller people"

For example, The greatest deadlift ever compared to bodyweight was done by Lamar Gant. A 639 pound deadlift at 123, which is 5.18 times his bodyweight. The heaviest dead lift ever is 1015 Pounds at 381 pounds by Benedikt Magnusson which is only 2.66 times his bodyweight. Lamar Gant lifted nearly twice as much compared to his own bodyweight, however using other forumals, such as wilks, both of these lifts are nearly equal accomplishments.

Actually strength is not comparable in that way. That's why certain powerlifting federations use something called a wilks formula. Which compares the strength of lifters in different weight classes using a specific mathematical formula. The very lightest weight classes always lift the most compared to their own bodyweight, this ratio decreases as weight classes increase. You cannot directly compare your strength per pound of bodyweight to a man 272lbs.
@thinkweb2 Were you also a 1st Team All-American football player? And since you weigh 102 pounds LESS than Brett, I'm assuming you can box jump at LEAST 20 inches higher than him??

@thinkweb2 dexter mccluster 172 lbs, 225lbs for 20 reps. Take your 215 for 7 somewhere else.
