The 20-year-old can reportedly\u00a0squat 230kg for three reps,\u00a0bench press 140kg for two reps\u00a0and reach a\u00a0top speed of around 10 metres per second.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His engine is just as impressive, recording an elite\u00a0Bronco test time of 4 minutes 25 seconds, while his explosive power is highlighted by a\u00a054cm vertical jump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking in a recent Men\u2019s Health feature, Pollock explained that the aim was never simply to bulk up. Instead, Northampton\u2019s strength and conditioning staff focused on making him more powerful and resilient while preserving the pace and work-rate that have become trademarks of his game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results speak for themselves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now an England international and one of the country\u2019s brightest young talents, Pollock possesses a rare blend of size, speed and endurance that has already drawn comparisons with some of the modern game\u2019s greatest back-row forwards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s little wonder England coaches have been left so impressed by his extraordinary athletic profile.<\/p>\n<p>EDITORS PICKS:<\/p>\n<p>Henry Pollock didn\u2019t hesitate naming the best back-rower of all-time<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rankings, filmed in collaboration with Premier Sports, featured a fascinating mix of modern greats and all-time legends \u2014 and it\u2019s safe to say plenty of supporters will have their own opinions on where Pollock got it right\u2026 and where he got it wrong.<\/p>\n<p>5. Ardie Savea<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most complete forwards of the modern era, Savea blends explosive power with elite handling and pace rarely seen in a flanker. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A standout for the All Blacks, he has consistently delivered in high-pressure moments, evolving from an impact player into a world-leading figure and national captain. His ability to dominate collisions, win turnovers, and link play makes him a prototype for the modern back-rower.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruck.co.uk\/henry-pollock-reveals-incredible-10kg-body-transformation-in-three-months\/2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CONTINUES ON PAGE TWO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"England sensation Henry Pollock has revealed the remarkable physical transformation that helped launch his rapid rise to the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":671409,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-671408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=671408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/671409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=671408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=671408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=671408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
