Methinks Jesse was talked out of going full out. He did 30 today.
I think he was told not to worry about the record because every team knows he has above average strentgh. No need to push it and "tweak" something. Showing out in the weight room has caused many injuries.
You're probably correct. I don't think it was coincidence that 8 players at that position lifted 30 reps. The few who lifted more than 30 were further off the radar. Players from SMU and Missouri Southern topped the list; you can't tell me that they were the strongest.
