00:04I'm Bria Maranthas with Oregon Ducks on SI here with defensive lineman Bear Alexander.
00:10Bear, we saw you and Amari both squat 855 pounds in the weight room.
00:16There's video proof.
00:17What goes through your mind when you're about to squat that amount?
00:22You know, it takes what it takes.
00:24I just believe in Coach Love, believe in Coach Drew to get us to where we're trying to get.
00:29And, you know, all those people that go unnoticed, you know, they play a big part in us going in
00:35there, being able to perform that type of weight.
00:37So just putting faith in our strength coaches.
00:40Does it feel so good when it's like, I did that?
00:43Yeah, for sure.
00:44You know, it's a relief thing.
00:46But just knowing that we put the work in and we go out here, hopefully at this play.
00:51Do you and Amari kind of compete with each other a little bit in the weight room or how do
00:55you feed off each other?
00:56Like, yeah, like I'm looking at his weight, you know, I didn't squat all of last year due to certain
01:03reasons.
01:04But I'm just really just looking at him like, hey, you put a 45 on it.
01:08I'm going to jump and put another 45.
01:10So it was kind of one of those times to walk up to him like, hey, bro, this is our
01:14last offseason.
01:15You know, let's let's throw some weight on the ball.
01:18As a result, we was able to get under it and do it.
01:26You know, let's get under it and do it.
01:27You know, let's get under it and do it.
01:27You know, let's get under it and do it.
