“As they say in Oklahoma City, ‘he’s rocked up’,” coach Kroeger said of West build. “He was a regional champion power-lifter for our power lifting team that won the state championship last year. He squatted 455 pounds, dead-lifted 540 pounds and benched 285 pounds at a 181-pound body. That’s very, very impressive. So to go along with all that speed, there’s a lot of power.

"Rocked Up"

God, I love that.

Whoa! That is incredible. I thought I was strong, pound for pound, but this guy is sick! A 455 squat on a 180lb frame!!!! Unbelievable! You don't ever want to have a tussle with this guy, he'll rip your dam arm off your body.

What were Brady Quinn's numbers? They said it once on NBC.

I think they said that his bench was 350, squat was 450, and power clean was 350. Not for sure though, correct me if i am wrong.

BQ is 6-4, 230.

G. West is 5-8, 180 on paper. For a guy his size to put up those kinds of numbers is unreal. To bench over 100 lbs of your weight is pretty impressive. But the squat and dead lift numbers for a guy his size are flat out freakish.

got this info from West's HS coach... i think the Irish are getting a special player in West..

George is one of the best athletes I've ever coached, and I've coached some good ones. Houston Jones for example at Iowa State is just one along with many others. George is very fast and so explosive he can dunk a basketball from just inside the free throw line. He is very strong and won the 181 lb. weight class at the Oklahoma Regional Powerlifting Meet. Would have won the State Meet but opted to play baseball in a major tournament
