Yes if youre lifting 450 you can wear straps
He did 443X3 so roughly a 480 one rep max. Wirfs one rep max is around 490
I just wish Amani Jones played as well as his physique looks. He's one well built Mofo.
He was sometimes out of position last year, caught in a bad flow on running plays. I like Amani and hope he contends for the MLB spot in 2019. The dude hits like a truck.
Hawks have always been strong, throwing in some speed would nice.
Yup. I was just referring back to whichever of the ISU studs poopooed Scherff's accomplishments because they didn't use straps. The straps had nothing to do with the lift in either case but Clowns gotta clown.
Absolutely not. Too good a defensive hitter. By fall kickoff he will have had more time to prepare for the Big Ten season. First or second at MLB, he has too much potential.
Agreed the scouts will likely place more emphasis on bench reps, or some other random item, but I can't imagine a guy that can hang clean 450 for reps not hitting at least 25 or 30 reps of 225 on the bench. I guess it's possible, just seems that there would be a fair amount of translation of that power into bench press.
That’s a bad man and only a junior to be. He will be top five/ten selection like Brandon w/ that type of weight, strength and flexibility in those legs and hips. Once he learns to truck people in the run game, he will be a beast.
I'm hoping so, I hope something just clicks for him from a positioning and decisioning stand point and he steps up big.
Also hope he does just so we can have posters foolishly calling out the staff for not playing him more this past season.
I am hoping that film study and practice helps on that. If it doesn't, there are other linebackers who want to play.
Some players shine in their senior year. Don't give up on a guy because he hasn't started as a junior.
Lest we not forget Quinton Alston in '14, Cole Fisher back in '15, and Jack Hockaday in '18 ... it's more than possible for a veteran guy to earn a spot and play solid ball as a SR. These players are not "disposable" ... they're valuable ... and the coaches don't forget the blood, sweat, and tears that they dedicate to the program (even if some fans do).
yep. I know dude. Its the first thing I thought too when I saw the video. Laughable.
That is some SERIOUS weight being moved there, WOW! It is also cool to see how much his teammates were into it as well. Good stuff!!
Wow. . That video is awesome and every recruit should see that on multiple levels. First, Obviously the strength. Second, the reaction of the teammates was crazy. Third, shows Kirk will play freshman as Wirfs was a couple years ago and see what he has become in the program. Fourth, a former Iowa Outland trophy winner who was a top 10 pick and NFL pro bowler still paying attention to his alma mater. Shows a family environment. Last, I heard that Psycho Twin ISU idiot who is a psycho and obsessed and jealous of big brother posting on CF about “straps.” What a loser. Let’s make Witfs our 3rd Outland Trophy winner and top 10 OL draft choice under the Captain and once again show we are OL (and TE) U!
Slightly off-topic, but I went into that Brockermeyer profile and they showed his highlight films. OMG! Every single play he throws his guy to the ground and then lands on him. Every. Single. play. If you haven’t clicked through and watched his highlights, I highly recommend them to you.
What a hoot! After awhile I was thinking that he didn’t care so much what went on in the backfield, because he was playing a slightly different game: “What will it take to throw this guy on the ground and land on top of him?” Some of those take-downs might have been after the whistle, so other teams must hate that guy.
Get this guy on the bus!

There’s two Brockermeyers OL and iowa has offered both. the dad is a coach at SMU and played OL in the league for a while. They have another brother playing at Texas so I think it’s a long shot to get them.
I was kinda 50/50 on the video. Cool he can finish the block but he would shove them down again as he was getting up after the play was over half the time. Works when you are bigger than everyone but won’t work when you aren’t the chief anymore.
Yeah the culture of the program is as cool to me as the great effort/strength by Wirfs. That is what you want as a player, where everyone is committed to getting better and teammates recognize accomplishments. When guys break position or room records, everyone knows what that means because they have a respect for those who have gone before them. You can't fake that level of excitement and camraderie.
Dodger - I agree 100 percent. Funny how I sent that video out to a bunch of people and almost universally the first thing they responded with was how cool the teammates response was not even what Wirfs actually did. And seeing Brandon Scherff, a NFL All Pro, following along that is the family environment way Kirk preaches.
I’ve watched that video 10-15 times now and still get fired up watching it. First of all, that is just incredible. Second of all, seeing his teammates screaming and cheering him in is one of many reasons I miss playing the sport. Also, it’s hard not to be excited about that young mans future as a Hawkeye and beyond.
The article talks about how smart Tristan was to return to Iowa, umm they do realize he's only a sophmore right?
This is true, but its usually because they've been hurt alot or behind other really good players. Jones had it laid out in front of him last year, and he struggled. Hope he does well though...
I don't think so. Do you have inside info? Then you know more than me (very possible).
I think he's a LB.
