Oh ya that is tough lol. Gaining weight with no dairy is hard. To bad no one told you about peanut butter though haha. Just munch on that in between meals and you would have been packing on the pounds. But ya, atleast you got to enjoy your 4 years at the U, even if you couldn't play football haha.

Oh ya BFS was huge in HS across the US back in the mid to late 2000s. They are big on box squats. Funnily enough, the book actually has you pausing. So your coach must have thought he new better lol. That is awesome though. 215 in HS at 155 is a solid weight and great, considering where you...

He is in HS moving heavy weight is not bad for. Not to mention 365 isn't even that crazy. Countless worlds strongest men competitors lifted more than that in HS and ended up being well over 6'4.
