Tristan Wirfs Eats a Lot



Man, that dude better be careful. That's the kind of diet where a knee injury that causes him to miss the second half of the season leads to a Fridge Perry type of situation.

I was thinking the same thing. Might want to take some of his money and hire a nutritionist and a chef.
 




Wouldn't that be a nice issue to have. To keep your weight up. I'm the opposite spectrum where if I just look at it a couple pounds are gained.
 


My family and I got the chance to take a private tour of the new football complex a few years ago after a game. An athletic trainer my wife's friend knew gave us the tour. I'm pretty certain he stated that some football players are required to eat 12,000-15,000 calories a day depending on how much weight they want them to put on. It's really a struggle for some to eat that much and that constant.
 




I’m a married straight man with kids, but man, Tristan Wirfs is one beautiful human being. I predict Hollywood or broadcasting after his football days. Love that kid and can’t wait to see what’s ahead for him.

Has there ever been an equally freakish athlete? Serious question.

6'5", 320.

4.8 40YD

Can box jump out of a pool from standing. Can do a standing backflip. Can hang clean Josey Jewell and Ben Niemann both sitting on an Olympic barbell four times. All of those things are on video. And like when it comes to the military, I don't even want to know the things they haven't shown us yet...

Speaking of 6'5", 320 lbs, I don't know if the average person can appreciate the amount of energy that is when moving at that speed.

320lbs in a 4.8--40 comes out to 145.15 kg moving at 7.62 meters per second. That equates to 4,214 joules of energy put on a target.

Per the NFL, the average professional O-lineman weighs 315 and runs a 5.38--40. Doesn't seem like that much less than Wirfs, but we ain't dealing with linear calculations here. 315 lbs in a 5.38 is 142.88 kg moving at 6.769 meters per second, coming out to 3,293 joules of energy. Do the math and Wirfs is outputting 28% more energy than his peers as a whole. That's fucking mutant level difference. He's a genetic freak with work ethic and pain tolerance to go with it.

I know O-lineman aren't running full speed into targets with all of their weight, and I don't know how fast he gets up to that 7.62 m/s to calculate the force he making to get moving like that, but it still tells the story, folks. That guy is a goddamn beast. I can't even fathom what it would feel like to catch a face full of a Wirfs or Scherff at speed.

Orlando Pace (Ohio State) was 6 foot 7, 324 pounds and ran a 4.7 40 time.

 


Orlando Pace and his GF went to the same OB/Gyn as my wife and I. My wife was pregnant as was his GF.

We were in the back setting up our next appointment when the big hospital style door opens. The largest man I ever saw absolutely filled that doorway. It was Pace.

He went intot he exam room closest to where we were setting up our appointment and I casually wandered a few step back. His GF couldnt have been more than 5'2" and 110 pounds. I imagine the kid they had was as big as she was at birth.

Pace was a beast of a human and IMHO the best ever to play left tackle in NCAA history. We've had some nice ball players roll through Iowa, but none of them hold a candle to Pace. It was a fucking joke when he didn't win the Heisman in '96. Woodson and Suh are the only other two guys I can think of who got robbed out of the Heisman because they weren't offensive skill players but were head and shoulders the best ball players of their last years in college.

That is just as bad as the asshole wrestling coaches starving kids. Maybe even worse.

During fall camp they'd get off the practice field mid afternoon and Panchero's would cater and bring the team burritos. They'd each scarf down at least two of them (probably along with side chips, etc.). then in a couple hours at supper time would have a huge steak dinner at the Marriott.

He recalled one player that needed to put on weight and a position coach would babysit and watch him in the players hotel room scarf down a large pizza to make sure he ate it all.

It's amazing what some have to inhale.

I can't imagine that is a good way to put on "good" weight. That is just weight for the sake of weight. If you're trying to put on good weight, you need to eat or take meal replacement shakes like 5 or 6 times a day. When I was 22 or 23, I was in insanely good shape. I lifted religiously 5x a week, drank alcohol at most 2x per month and I had 5 meals a day, but it was always clean stuff. I only gave myself one cheat day per month. Pizza is absolute trash food to eat to gain good weight. I'm just not sure adding 20 pounds of fat is really a great thing for all those guys, but I'll bet someone on the staff got a hard on for Wisconsin's big linemen and decided that our guys needed to be bigger, not realizing that the zebras will let those bastards get away with murder in the trenches, which is why most of them suck ass when they get into the NFL.
 




Eating that much as an OL reminds me of Joe Thomas and Marshal Yanda. They ate so much that they got sick of it and, when they retired, ate normally and shed the weight pretty fast.
