Jalen Hurts deadlifts a scary amount of weight

This is like picking up two linemen!

Former Alabama and Oklahoma quarterback, Jalen Hurts, is heading into his second season in the NFL and will likely be the starting quarterback for the team that drafted him, the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles drafted Hurts in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft, while he did not play all too much until the end of the season, the Eagles have proven they are all in on Hurts.

Philadelphia’s long-time starter, Carson Wentz was traded and the team moved outside the top 10 in the 2021 NFL draft to select a receiver. These moves show that the front office is willing to invest in Hurts.

Hurts recently showed the public how invested he is in getting his body stronger. A known powerlifter, Hurts shared a video of him deadlifting 620 pounds.

He does it with such ease, this is like picking up two defensive linemen at the same time.

Watch this former Game of Thrones star easily deadlift 1,104 pounds

Lifting this much shouldn’t look this easy.

Former Game of Thrones star Thor Björnsson has never skipped a single leg day at the gym in his life.

How do I know? Because I just watched this man deadlift 1,104 pounds to set a world record in the same way that a normal person like you or me would lift up the couch while looking for the remote. And I have never felt more meager in my life.

Seriously. This man picked up half a ton like it was nothing. And these are deadlifts! Deadlifts are hard. Especially as you keep going up in weight. And, uh, 1,104 pounds is as “up” as it gets.

Just look at this.

Oh, of course he didn’t just hop right into that deadlift cold. He warmed up a bit first…by deadlifting…1,025 pounds…wait…THAT’S THE WARM UP!?!?

He lifted a half ton. TWICE. That’s, like, the same weight as three offensive lineman or a teenage cow. That’s crazy.

The crazier part? He said he could’ve done MORE.

“I believe today, I could’ve done more. But what’s the point? I’m happy with this. My family and friends were happy with this.”

“What’s the point?” is what you say when you think about whether it’s actually healthy for me to eat that extra slice of pizza on a Friday night. At least, you know, when you don’t have superhuman strength. When you do? This is what you ask yourself when you think about lifting a whole ton instead of a half.

Anyway, shoutout to Thor. This was cool. And, no, I’m not just saying that because I don’t want him to track me down and rip me in half. It’s legitimately cool.

Also, this was way better than the actual ending to Game of Thrones. So there’s that.
