As I said, I only wish the best for Seth. Your correct numbers mean little.

Devil09, I know you only wish the best for Seth as I know Seth only wishes the best for you and the rest of the Devils. I didn't take your comment to be anything more than, we all have such high expectations for Seth sometimes we need to think whether they're realistic/fair. :thumpsup: What we have learned while at St X and during our visits to Michigan, Louisville, and several other schools is that there is strength and then there is football strength. Only if benching 500lbs makes you a better football player does it truely mean something (other than you're massively strong). Can you move, maintain your flexibility in awkward positions, & do your job while in space? That means you're a more effective player/teammate and football player. When we wathched several of the Michigan player (they were having a competition) lift they started at 315 to 400+ on bench and rep'ed 4 to 9 times. Seth's at 315-325 with 4-6 reps and they were 2-3 years older at a minimum then Seth. I feel as if he's holding his own.

We've decided to focus on those thing along with technique to insure (hopefully) a long career in college. We don't know how it's all going to turn out. There are a lot of things to improve upon but so far it's been a fun ride. Hopefully, in a year we'll be talking about Seth increasing all his lifts by another 100+ lbs, an improved 40 time, & God willing a D1 offer(s). We'll just have to see how it all comes together.

To all my friends in Russll and all the boys in Seth's class thank you and I'm still watching you. Make me, your community, & yourselves proud. :devilflam
