Hunter’s impressive feat of lifting 300-pound weight

Travis Hunter always likes to keep himself busy with action. But little did the Buffs’ dual threat foresee his workout video to backfire. Not long ago, the NFL Rookie Watch shared a clip on X where Hunter is spotted sweating it off in the gym with pushup sessions. However, the pushups he performed were with a twist where the Buff focused more on the lower part of the body and the posture came off as if he was twerking. This landed him in the midst of a body-shaming rage where trolls called him Kardashian while others made fun of his lean arms and legs calling them “twigs”. But instead of taking offense to the harsh remarks, Hunter came up with the ultimate strategy to shut the haters.

In his latest Instagram story, the dual-threat re-shared a reel from the CU Buffs Strength page. The players are spotted lifting weights, among Hunter ensures to stand out doing something extraordinary. The caption on the story is enough to let the fans know about his achievement as he wrote “300 (a muscle emoji)”. With this, he raised his bar with the 300-pound lift. The two-way phenom is courageous enough to leave his impact outside the gym setting as well.

Hunter is called a threat for a reason. As much as he is a threat in the field, he ensures to carry forward the same attitude with himself when he is busy training. On June 18, Hunter published his speed training regimen with his fans on his YouTube channel. Now that he is part of a bigger race to land early in the 2025 NFL Draft, the player has introduced speed conditioning to enhance his stamina, enough to woo the recruiters. Hunter’s feat came with a promise, “Tell you this going to be the fastest in the world.” Being a man of his word, the Buff clocked in a running time of 4.48 seconds.

Besides, Deion Sanders is the HC who comes with a new challenge every passing day for his roster. But Hunter hardly faces any problems with the innovations. To add the oomph factor to the training regimen, Coach Prime introduced Navy SEAL training and the two-way phenom emerged as an absolute show-stealer with his swimming strokes.

He was the one to finish every sprint and showcased immense strength while carrying heavy backpacks across the swimming pool. Since Hunter takes up every challenge that comes his way like a cakewalk, he earned a new name from a fan who called him, “Travis is a cyborg, Robot, or made in a lab somewhere cause dude excels at everything, never gets tired, is a great student a good human being.” He literally ticks off every check box of being perfect.
