SWEATNESS24'S Rise To Glory Log, from highschool to college football (vid) (pics)

[Sweatness24]

I guess you could say i was a late bloomer, or i guess you could say i never really bloomed at all until i saw this on a poster "Hard work beats talent, when talent doesnt work hard" You see i never had the "talent" Matter of fact until highschool i never even started on a single team (baseball, basketball, football, track, tennis, swimming) But i realized that if it was something i wanted, then i had to make it happen through hard work, I truly believe my blessing from GOD himself was the ability to work harder than my peers. I made my mind up... i was gonna be a starting runningback or i was gonna die trying. I started lifting my 10th grade year, i was 132 pounds at that time, i am now a solid 178 pounds and am playing college football as a freshman. (Northeastern) Here are my before and after pictures @ my video. After you see these, scroll down to see the rest of my story.














Once i made the decision to become something great, i ended up setting numerous arkansas highschool records. I wont go into great detail of them but some of them are 4 all state selections, winning state in track, most yards in a game, most td's in a game. ESPN player of the week.



I started out lifting:

AGE 16
Bench-185
Sqaut-270
Powerclean-175


AGE 17
Bench-235
Sqaut-350
Powerclean-235

Age 18 (current lifts)
Bench-305
Sqaut-495
Powerclean-300

Actually i am 6%, our college coaches weigh us, the weigh us in water. Then take away the weight from the water bc fat doesnt float. Then they multiply it somehow to get our precent, its the most accurate way.

hey man do you ever get shin splints? I've been trying to run and do hill sprints and they keep coming back. They aren't bad, but its just annoying and idk if i should just run through them or wait till they fully heal.

Do you know how to prevent them?

The guy in the picture is at 6 percent body fat. You can see all the striations. I am not saying you are not lean, you are, but you are not 6 percent body fat. At 6 percent body fat, your legs would have veins coming out of them and your shoulders would have veins as well.

How respectable is your water testing that your coaches are doing. I mean what kind of machines are they using to test you guys? Is it accurate, maybe there machines aren't top of the line.

Have a look at the link

Bro that's called genetics, not everybody has their veins popping even at 6%. I'm not arguing you nor the 6% claim, just saying genetics ensure not everybody has the same body at 6%.

Other than that, who cares the guy is not at 6%?

Veins have nothing to do with it, your right thats gentics. We use the best machines around to determine the bodyfat %. Its a machine you get inside and it covers your body in water and measures the amound of fat. Its an expensive machine. I know im at 6. You may not b able to tell in my picutes bc i dont have a good quality camera.

After watching the youtube video up top and actually looking at 40 yard dash times, i have to admit you are like a phucking cheetah bro.

Like that is insane, i give you a ton of respect.

One question though, if you are number 8 running back in the nation, then who the hell is number 1, 2 and 3. I mean your 40 yard dash times are insane, who is a better running back.

[Sweatness24]

dead serious. I get reverse discriminated against at my position. My college right now is trying to move me to slot receiver even. Bc they dont think i should play runningback. They say i "look like a slot"

its bs

thats absolute bs.

I was looking at some nfl players and those guys are 5'9 230lbs and they are running backs, like wtf????

How the hell can a guy be a running back and be 5'9 230lbs and be fast, thats just completely insane

I coached some guys too and made them change positions as well you like the entire sport of football right? or do you hate playing slot receiver, are you afraid would you not be as good? Maybe you would fit their plan better as a slot, however if playing runningback is your favourite and best position just play runningback. Its your football career.

im going to play slot because im a team player. But im a natural rb and excel at it. If it was bc i was better at slot i wouldnt be mad. Its the REASON he changed me. I promise you i know why and it has to do with a mindset that a white guy cant start at rb at this level.
