I have seen a few boys at our high school here in town that are that size but doubt they are that strong. They are football players and many of them seem to get knee injuries playing. Kids these days overall are a lot bigger overall than we were in the 80s in high school. The human race is getting bigger. What this young man did here is amazing for even a full grown man. Strongest guy I knew personally was in the 241 class and could squat about 850 lbs. This guy has a lot more room to grow and should hit 1000 + lbs if he can stay injury free.
You got that right...I played high school football in the early 80's...we had a couple of kids that were maybe 240....that's about the biggest back then.

The reason you see lots of high school kids getting knee injuries playing football is because they are getting away from weight training in lieu of agility, core, and other b.s. training methods. Most of the H.S. training programs are being taken over and administered by local hospitals. I guess they see it as a way to generate business. Knee surgeries are a big ticket item.
Weight training not only strengthens muscles, it also strengthens tendons, ligaments and intestinal fortitude.
