"Do you even lift, bro?" is probably something that will never be uttered to Penn State running back Saquon Barkley. Like, ever.
Barkley enters the 2017 season as arguably the top running back in college football because of his vision, speed, agility and power. All of that God-given talent helped the Big Ten's top running back rush for 1,496 yards in 2016. But Barkley's success can't be attributed to just his talent alone. The junior works hard in the weight room, as shown by the video above in which he power cleans 405 pounds ...
If that wasn't enough, here's Barkley squatting 525 pounds on five reps.
As if Saquon's clean wasn't impressive, here he is squatting 525 for 5 reps this morning pic.twitter.com/fa3nYA6joi

On a related note, I once bench pressed the bar.
