It's #NFL #combine weekend, so you know what time it is. Time to flex on these young lions and show em that unc strength is still different! I'm old but I still have that fire in me!👴🏿

The strength test at the NFL combine is "How many times can you bench 225 lbs?" For me the answer is 42 times.

No, I don't take steroids, or pro-hormones, or any performance enhancing drugs. But thanks for asking.

No, I don't judge people that do. Make your own choices in life.👍🏿

A lot of these NFL players are on PEDs. Happens. They still can't see me in the weight room.

I'm literally twice as strong as the average NFL player. Your heroes are not my heroes.

NFL football players are not the strongest, or the fastest, or the toughest, or the best at tackling. Football is a highly specific skill. They are the best at playing NFL football. That's a lot to be proud of!

But when I tell you that I lift with world record holding powerlifters, and that powerlifter strength is different? I know what I'm talking about.

When I tell you that I box with professional boxers, and that boxer skill is different? I know what I'm talking about.

Track speed? Different.
