This season saw Buster work his tail off, even moreso than usual. His section of the weight room had become adorned with various pictures of him breaking team strength training records. Some of the cones had his initials on them for being a leader in team conditional drills. But this season, things seemed to max out all over the shop. Buster's ridiculous 750 bench press surpassed the previous record set by Otis Allen. He overtook Linebacker Tyrone Brackenridge in the deadlift with a monstrous 975! But, Russet has been naturally strong his whole life. So while these feats are beyond impressive, the team had seen him do these types of things before. Where he truly found his zen this year was in the short burst conditioning drills. Sharpening his technique on the 3-cone vastly improved his ability to change direction and flip his hips on the field, thus leading to the most productive season he's ever had!
