Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has recently captured attention, not for his strategic acumen on the football field, but for his impressive display of strength in the gym. In a video shared by his trainer, Ryan Sorensen, McVay is seen performing five repetitions of squats at 405 pounds, showcasing a level of fitness that rivals many current NFL players.
McVay’s commitment to physical fitness is well-documented. A former wide receiver at Miami (Ohio), he was named Georgia State Player of the Year in 2003, notably over future NFL star Calvin Johnson. This athletic background has translated into his coaching career, where he emphasizes a holistic approach encompassing exercise, diet, and rest.
This offseason, McVay has taken his training regimen up a notch by partnering with former Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth. The duo has been engaging in daily 6 a.m. workouts at Whitworth’s gym in Westlake Village, California. Whitworth humorously noted that McVay seems to be “trying to relive his Miami of Ohio days,” reflecting the coach’s enduring competitive spirit.
Fans have reacted with a mix of admiration and astonishment to McVay’s 400-pound squat. Comments on social media range from praise for his discipline to lighthearted suggestions that he could suit up as a player. One fan remarked, “He’s better than half of the players on his team lol,” while another stated, “Well done coach.”
McVay’s dedication to maintaining peak physical condition not only sets a standard for his players but also underscores the importance he places on leading by example. As the Rams prepare for the upcoming season, their head coach’s commitment both on and off the field continues to be a source of inspiration.
