I'm optimistic he makes the starting 53. Love his Gumption.

Obviously we'll all be watching this position battle develop. Lots of incoming assets with the draft and surprise acquisitions.

I'm back in the gym. I'm not trying anything like that though. Looks rough on the back, neck and knees. Sticking with the nautilus machines. Holani has looked good in limited action.

Not to say he isn't strong or anything - but a 345lbs deadlift seems quite low by NFL athlete standards, let alone a RB? I would have though 2x bodyweight at an absolute min for reps, if not 2.5x.

Of course he made it look easy so perhaps this is just a warmup

I mean David Montgomery reports he does 710lbs, But he's only broke 1000 yds twice. One rep as well

Michael Thomas has him doing 500 on instagram, but thats one rep not the repeated Holani is doing and with a lift assist bar side grip, not an over under standard bar.

Im gonna guess its subjective to the TYPE of back you are?

345lbs ain't much for a young professional athlete. Old man toffee was doing 250 before Covid. Just saying.

I can only compare to my own experience, but my own max for reps is 475 and I still think there's not a chance in hell I'm stronger than even the weakest NFL player.
