The video starts and J.D. King bends over an iron bar at his feet in purple shorts and a yellow shirt, the school colors of Fitzgerald High School, at the Georgia Class AA state weight lifting championships.
King is roughly 205 pounds. The weight he'll attempt to power clean? 370.
Don't blink during the 9-second clip posted on Twitter in February by Jesse Lynch, King's former running backs coach, or you might miss it. King pulls the bar up to his shoulders, flips the weight atop his palms, rises from squatting to standing, rests for just a moment, and tosses the bar down to the mat.
