This one may come as a surprise to some, but Titus O'Neil is indeed one of the strongest men in wrestling today.
His weight training goes back to his football roots. Titus was a blue-chip, high school standout football player in Florida. He actually received a scholarship to play collegiate football at one of the top schools in America, the University of Florida.

There, O'Neil would play under legendary coach, Steve Spurrier from 1996, until 2000. While at the University of Florida, Titus had access to one of the Nation's top strength and conditioning programs, which is where he would gain a massive amount of strength.
When it comes to his personal best on the bench press, Titus regularly lifts 455 pounds for 16 reps at a time. His max on the bench is an impressive 545 pounds.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
