Excessive Strength

Football is such a violent game. It always amazes me to see the physical punishment that players take during the game. I wonder how they can get up and return to the huddle after some of the hits. The players of today are so much bigger, stronger and faster than years past.

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a great video from their weight room. It featured LB James Harrison doing pushups with center Maurkice Pouncey sitting on his back. Harrison did five of them with an extra 308 pounds of weight on his body. I don't know how he did it so easily.
