Pretty good article on Jake by the Miami Herald's David J. Neal.

Long had upper-body strength in abundance. He ripped off 37 bench-press reps at the 2008 NFL Scouting Combine to lead all linemen, offensive or defensive.

''I've always been a strong bencher,'' Long said. ``These things are power cleans, squats to strengthen my lower body and hips. And I really have. I don't even remember what I started at, but now I'm doing over 500 pounds [in squats and deadlifts], feeling strong and feeling good.''

I'm not a weight-lifter-type, so I assume 500 lbs is good for sqauts & deadlifts?

It's good for someone with limbs as long as Big Jake's.
