      To me it is always shocking, even tho it should not be. Freak athletes are freak athletes - it reminds me of people analysing the tapes and concluding Pele could run the 100m on pace with Olympians, jump as high as basketball players and etc - also the thing that really saddens me about american football being as big as it is - honest to god if it wasn't and those specimen went for other athletic endeavours there would be so many other feats of strength, agility, athleticism etc., being made and records broken etc., it is surreal how good football players are, absolute freaks. If I recall correctly Brian can rep a few pull-ups at over 400 pounds

      There really is no reason they should be stiff as a board. The ones who are either don't stretch or perform movements that cross multiple joints with a good range of motion, or they are literally blocking themselves with too much fat or muscle (e.g. front squats are difficult to rack properly with 19in biceps).
