To put that in perspective, if he were doing that in a sanctioned powerlifting meet he would hold the raw record for the 242# class. I mean that is freakishly strong, great genetics.

Oh it is absolutely nuts. I've seen college football players putting up 350+ on power cleans and clean and jerk. Those are borderline Olympic numbers. When I was on the high school powerlifting team, we had a guy that won state by putting up 615 on deadlift and 600 on squat. This was in high school. Some of these guys are just freaky.
It probably just comes down to what these guys really do is just make sure the players can pass their piss tests by tracking what they take.
