"Cobbo has bulked up from 97kg last year to 103kg and smashed his gym records.

His bench press has increased from 105kg to 170kg and he is squatting 200kg compared to 110kg last year. He is also recording faster running times in testing"

Hoping this means he doesn't get rag dolled as much this season.

I’m calling BS on that bench press - TPJ and Junior Paulo are around the 180 mark, as was Gallen. Hell Taupau does around that with a max of 195 recorded.
Obviously it would be a 1RM, but I’m still sceptical of those numbers.

Reason to lie?

 

[broncos4life]

Who gives a ****. He will quit when it gets too hard again and something else stupid and disrespectful.

To impress fans and other clubs with his work ethic and prowess? Athletes/gym goers don’t need much to prompt their ego.
Maybe I’m wrong and it’s true though, who knows, but it will be interesting to see if it translates to his on-field performance.

Lol no way Cobbo benches 170. Increasing a bench press by 65kg in one year is sus as

Having suffered a severe concussion myself, (also with immediate seizures, and needed to be resuscitated a number of times), and knowing the fallout that can be sustained from it .. I was pissed off at the time because I always felt that they bought him back way too quickly. It took me over a year just to begin to heal aye.

I read somewhere just a few days ago that the club "manufactured the fatigue/wanted a break excuse, to deflect from the real reason he didn't play".

I just don't feel that Cobbo was fit to play. Concussion not only leaves one physically fatigued, but the mental fatigue can be so depressing, and so hard to overcome.

 

[Broncosgirl]

And the changes in personality are real too. :(

 

[Broncosgirl]

Probably also noteworthy - Cobbo was fined 10k to charity for the podcast incident.

 

[Swordfish]

Omg"Cobbo has bulked up from 97kg last year to 103kg and smashed his gym records.

His bench press has increased from 105kg to 170kg and he is squatting 200kg compared to 110kg last year.

Is it all possible within few months? If so, what is he trying to become?

No. Unless he has literally never trained his upper body at all and naturally benched 105kg (unlikely) and that was his freakish starting base. Even then I am skeptical.

As said above, that would take him from one of the worst bench records to up there in the top percentile within a few months - on par with guys who have been training for years.

 

[broncos4life]

He is either on something illegal, they are lying or the journo made an error with the information given.

Hopefully he is on something illegal so we can punt him. Honestly Cobbo is exactly stupid enough to be taking something illegal and get caught for it by putting his impossible gains in the paper.
