Christian Westerman

[GenesChin 9]

Talked with CW the other day. Said he was up 20 pounds since he arrived on campus and he has shed all his bad weight. Talkedmostly about how things were going in general not sports related but did say football is keeping him busy.  Mentioned his family moved to gulf shores. If I remember his dad reads this board but CW is one of the nicest and great people I have met

Can't wait to see him get nasty mean with some D-linemen and LB's!

If he is up 20 pounds wouldn't he be around 315  or so ? That's a big 'un right there.

I hope he isn't the only one.

I could be wrong, but I think he came in around 275.

[Rednilla 5,441]

That sounds about right. The whole team, but particularly the offensive and defensive line, have taken to pushing themselves to the limit to get in the best shape possible. Losing the "baby fat" was a common theme this off-season.

[NoALtiger 3,934]

For what it's worth, CW was listed as 6'3" and 298lbs on the Spring roster that came out in May.

[Rednilla 5,441]

I would guess he's probably somewhere in the 300-310 range. I rather doubt that he was saying he's gained 20 pounds since spring; probably that he's gained that since the end of last season.

He has gained the weight this past year, thanks to coach yox.  We are glad to have mom and dad plus 4 more  grand children close by. Thanks for the kind words about him.

I fished with him and his dad a little over a month ago on a boat out of Zeke's Marina in orange beach....they were very pleasant, down to earth people.  I'm pulling for him to make an impact this year.

What about his arm length??? Has his arm length gotten any better!!! ;)

Just in case you didn't know here is his Scout Profile

I can't wait to see him and Robinson do some road grading this season and for the next few years.

I love hearing about big Westie and he sounds like a true Auburn man.  Him and G Rob will tear it up!

I bet it IS nice to have them so much closer than Arizona now! Shoot, I know we're all happy that he decided to come here!!!

He is obviously the product of a quality family.

Chris is one of my favorite players on the team and has been since the day he got to AU. I am really looking forward to seeing him attacking defensive linemen the next 4 years. In the last pic I saw of him he looks like he is solid muscle so Yox's program has served him well. I have been predicting big things for Chris in the future. Tell him to go get 'em and War Eagle.

Hearing that along with the other article about Dismukes makes me think the coaches & Yox are serious about getting these boys ready to play this year.  If we lose, it won't be because we are not physical enough.

52 days!!

Hearing that along with the other article about Dismukes

In that article Dismukes said he was at a BF % of 27 now. Anyone know the BF% of the rest of the oline/players? I always find those things interesting from a biology/kinesiology standpoint.

[aujess07 4]

How's the bench numbers looking?

[AUenginerd 16]

How's the bench numbers looking?

  They were high in HS, so not really worried about them, but I'm sure they're much more than I can lift.

The intensity and speed at which they worked with leads me to believe that they are all in their best shape since being there.

Westerman....kid is bigger and stronger than ever.  They finally got his height listed correctly in the program and other areas.  He is really about 6'4"  1/2 (Truly, I should know).  He has worked hard this off season and only came home for a few days....said he had to get every damn workout in.  He has sometimes worked out twice a day.  I have seen him a determined kid all his life but his determination to make his first eligble year count and count big is unlike anything I have ever seen.  He loves Auburn and is a true Auburn Man!  His weight has spiked to as high as 305 lbs this summer and he is hovering around a consistent 300....he leads the team in weight stats for Bench, Squat, etc.  Jay Prosch has the best Clean Pull with CW being #2 in that lift.  Christian says Jay is incredibly strong and great guy!  They push each other and are the 2 strongest kids on the team. 

I  am not sure why the "arm length" thing comes up time and time again.....?  His arms are as long as any other person I have seen?  I am not sure what that means........ I can tell you that they are huge though...his bench is about 500 lbs.  He will pack a mean punch on that OL for sure.  Looking forward to our season and bringing home some huge wins.  Our team is determined and will come together. Its going to be a great year!  We are so happy to be part of the Auburn family.  WDE!!!

Well you just got me all fired up!  I can't wait for the season to start.  I think AU is going to finish with a much better record than the "experts" think.

The arm length thing is a way to mock Scout which listed that as Christians only weakness.  There is a not a lot of respect (deservedly so) for Scout.  Here is the link to the profile that started it all... http://auburn.scout.com/a.z?s=6&p=8&c=1&nid=3948485

BTW thank you so much for the update/info and War Eagle!

Thanks for the update, Pop! Gotta tell you, it's great to hear about the fire these guys have lit under them this offseason...makes me start to think crazy good things about how the year is going to go.
