How can this be?

Dustin Fry - bench presses 500 pounds, best on the team
Cedric Johnson - the strongest player on the team with a 530-pound bench press last August
Seems to me that 530 is more than 500 - is my math right? I do have a Clemson education, after all.

Good question, I just copied and pasted from the site. Just take the numbers for what they're worth and do your own comparisons, I guess..

Johnson did 530 last August. Fry's 500 was this Winter workouts and best on the team. It changes over time. Understand?

Guess where I'd go on a QB sneak.

Well over 1200 lbs leg drive behind Johnson and Sharpe. Only hope the tackle has is to go low and just block everything with linebacker over the top.

Dustin Fry - 42 reps at 225 lbs... that's just sick

I play BB with him last year in at the Central rec center. Nice guy. He was getting loose by jumping up and graping the rim. He's big, fast and quick....

Holy crap. No wonder he's such a big hitter.

Dear Lord...

looking at those numbers, you begin to realize why we are posting messages on this board and not hitting people of the field. It takes a special freak of nature to bench close to 400 lbs and have a vertical leap of close to 40".

One small correction needed on Dustin Fry's 500 lb bench....
Jul 28, 2004, 9:50 PM

stated as "best on team", however, later it is said that Cedric Johnson has the best bench on the team at 530 lbs.
Other than that, great info!
