While it threw his balance off he has been accustomed to that. But he still an a few lbs lighter than most other players. Christ. You have to be trolling. There is no way you are that dumb to believe what you just posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is uncontroverted that titanium limbs are stronger and more durable than human bone. That much I know. If he needs an astericks next to his bench reps number, so be it.

keepthefaith Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 19 minutes ago, SouthNYfan said: The prosthetic did not help the guy with bench pressing. Kept Period. I'm not arguing about anything else. You and fergy are completely off the mark thinking it actually helped him with the bench. Agree. He probably has a tougher time maintaining the balance of the weight through the exercise. He won't have the same feeling of the bar as someone with 2 hands. If he were using a machine it might be different but with free weight that has to be harder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) The story is great and the kid has a lot of heart, but his size is concerning. A 6'2" 227lb linebacker? Edited March 4, 2018 by Chicken Boo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 2 hours ago, Green Lightning said: A one-handed linebacker just put up 20 reps at 225, and ran a 4.38 40. Pardon me but I choose to be impressed. He's got an advantage on 40. Not carrying the extra weight of a second hand. Put a star next to that. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsShredder83 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 4 hours ago, BringBackFergy said: Add to that, if you have a prosthetic hand/forearm, it's an advantage over another player that has skin and callouses on their hands. If he's lifting he won't feel the burn and puss that is attendant to an exploding callous. He can get more reps with the prosthetic limb because it is made of material that is springier and more durable than the human forearm (ulna). Maybe they'll put an asterisk after his reps in the record book because of this advantage. Not sure his reps should count. Please be sarcasm. 20 rep bench press being stopped because of a callous?¿? Puss building up, does he have an infection? Please 9 lb 10oz baby Jesus be sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristocrat Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 He was one of those tweener lb like Shaq Thompson on carolina. Jpp is getting away with playing one handed. He does have three picks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Great story and I'm rooting for the young man. It kind of makes me think of ex MLB pitcher Jim Abbott. Someone will give him a shot and I think he will be more successful than some believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 6'2" 227lb linebacker? We drafted Matt Milano at 6-0, 223, so he could be a 4-3 will. I could also see him being used by a creative 3-4 coach like James Bettcher with the Giants.
