“A lot of people don’t know that he’s super strong and he’s super powerful,” Barkley said on the podcast. “The Keiser squat isn’t about how heavy you can squat, it’s about how powerful, how explosive you are. It shows your explosiveness. He’s super explosive, something that I didn’t know even coming in here, but just being able to train with him and get to know him, he’s pretty impressive.”

Gainwell said he got to about five reps at 555 pounds, with a lot of the team watching, but the Eagles’ social media team is keeping Gainwell’s strength a secret.

“They only seem to post Saquon and Jalen,” Gainwell said.

Barkley is competitive in the weight room, Gainwell said, but that competition pushes both of them to be the best they can be.

“He loves to compete, too,” Gainwell said. “He was like, ‘No, I’ve got it, put a little bit more on.’ He’s a competitor, but that makes us better. That makes us better as a team.”
