    Here's 3 clips of Joe Pena (the American SHW squat record holder for 14-15yo) on the football field this past weekend. He's a freshman.

    This kid is doing 565 3x5 and did a 3x3 at 585 for fun. He might be at 600 for work sets by May at 15 years old. He's planning on doing 700 raw this summer at a usapl meet.

    He actually played quite a bit of center on the Varsity this past season. BaconBack is his dad, and has more idea of how many starts he had at center.

    Here's his recruiting vid:

    Default Center/OG

    starting strength coach development program
    He player center 2 out of the 3 times he played in the FBU All American game. He played most of the heavy sets at TE but after week 2 he was full time center. The senior all state center missed a couple if games with an ankle and he didn't get his job back. He made it to the second round of the playoff and made 2nd team all district.
