Tim Tebow's Upper-Body Power-Building Circuit

By STACKPublished On: 2012-06-18

Tim Tebow the fullback? By now it’s safe to say anything is within the realm of possibility when it comes to Tebow, especially under the direction of Rex Ryan, the resourceful New York Jets head coach.
The always informative Doug Farrar of Shutdown Corner reports that Tebow “maxed out at 249 pounds during the team’s recent off-season activities,” a gain of more than 10 pounds from his 2011 listed playing weight.
How do the Jets intend to deploy a 250-pound Tebow?
Farrar: “There’s special teams, there’s the Wildcat role, and there’s the possibility that Tebow could be a traditional fullback when the Jets are close to the end zone.”
As Farrar points out, Tebow has always been “a very serious red zone weapon, especially when he’s taking off with the ball in his hands.”
The zone-read offense Tebow ran for the Denver Broncos certainly played to his strengths as a ballcarrier, but imagine the play-calling possibilities if the hulking QB were to line up as the lead blocker on a goal-line situation.
Tebow says he’s trying to “be strong enough to do anything, but also fast enough to run around a little bit.”
How did an already jacked-up Tebow manage to pack on more muscle mass? By performing an upper-body push/pull circuit of explosive movements.
“You’re constantly working different muscle groups but keeping your heart rate high, and I love any workout where we can accomplish that,” Tebow says. “As a football player and as an athlete, I’m someone who goes extremely hard, so I need to train extremely hard.”
