Here are some of the results that Jones referenced during his 30-minute appearance with the media on Monday:
75% of the team set at least one PR (personal record) on a major lift
89 PRs on maximum weight on the bench and 76 PRs on number of 225-pound reps with the bench
Average squat increase of a approximately 50 pounds per person
Average bench increase of 25 pounds per person and three reps of 225 pounds
Top squatter: defensive tackle Kendal Vickers (710 pounds); top bench: guard Jashon Robertson (33 reps)
For context, Robertsons 33 reps on the 225-pound bench would have qualified for fourth among offensive linemen at the 2015 NFL combine. Not bad for a rising true sophomore.
Vickers 710 pounds doesnt need a ton of context, but thats a lot of weight for a lift where 600 pounds is somewhat of a golden standard for heavy lifters.
