Things are off to a great start with PRs being set, unbelievable numbers being recorded, and GREAT form being used. Athletes will learn a lot during their time in the weight room. With the end of the month here, I want to highlight several of the best lifts that I saw throughout the month.

Look at the squat linked below! 545 lbs while weighing 210- 215 lbs. A smooth ride down to parallel, and just as smooth on the way up. Christy is a great follow for other athletes when it comes to lifting. You can always count on him using great form, and putting up insane numbers. Carter also added a 365 lbs bench press later in the month.

It has translated to the field for the LB as he has been a key contributor on the field since he was a freshman. This month's most impressive lift is from a tweet today where he gripped and ripped a 285 lbs power clean. Power clean is one of the most difficult lifts to perform in general, and the underclassman is well on his way to doing it with three plates a side.

He recently hit a 475 lbs squat, and on the 14th hit the lift in the video below. Bilitz took 225 lbs for a ride to the tune of 15 reps.

It is clear that he puts in the time and effort to get himself in position to be an impact player on Friday nights.

The sophomore is at a great place in his training, and watching the lifts you can see the form is excellent. The squat PR is insane! Talk about making it look. The 2025 OL smashed parallel, and brought the 425 lbs up with ease. I'm excited to see how explosive he is this fall because he is looking explosive in the gym.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63fe9156e77bd"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/SamGlendenning7/status/1630711979584233472","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/SamGlendenning7/status/1630711979584233472 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
