00:00 I get in that weight room and I got Coach Herb just staring at me.

00:04 I remember my first lift because I graduated high school early.

00:06 They were going around, we were doing pull-ups and I could barely even do pull-ups.

00:10 Our strength coach walked up to me and he was like, "But I don't know what we're going

00:13 to do with you, man."

00:14 Like just straight walked away.

00:15 Do you remember what the first lift was like?

00:17 I remember mine like it was yesterday.

00:19 I think four or five of us came for bowl practice and all of them got to go out there and practice

00:23 and I was injured so I had to go in.

00:26 I did all my freshman and baseline testing.

00:27 I remember walking in there and I was like, "Oh, I'm pretty big in high school.

00:31 I can put up some weight."

00:32 The first thing they had me do was pull-downs.

00:33 It's like 115 single arm pull-down.

00:35 They're like, "All right, get as many as you can do."

00:37 And I'm thinking like, "Okay, 115, that can't be that bad."

00:40 I get up there and it like pulled and it like lifted me off my seat.

00:44 I was like, "Yes."

00:45 And I like couldn't even get it down.

00:47 They were like, "All right, yeah, we'll go on to the next thing."

00:49 And then that's when I knew like, "Okay, I'm going to have to work.

00:51 I'm going to have to work hard."

00:52 I mean, that's my first impression of the weight room.
