Travis Hunter is quickly becoming a fan favorite in Boulder, and for good reason. Last week, he stunned everyone with his impressive swimming skills during a grueling Navy SEAL training program for the Buffaloes. Not only did he outlast his teammates, he gave the top Navy SEAL swimmers a tough competition by racing with them.
Just days later, Hunter turned heads again during a routine weigh-in. The once lean athlete has bulked up considerably, tipping the scales at a much heavier 185 pounds. He even set an ambitious goal of gaining “7lbs a game!” Now, this dedication to gaining some pounds seems to be paying off.
Recent footage from “Reach the People” media captured Hunter dominating the weight room too. He effortlessly clean-lifted a whopping 335 pounds–not once, but three times in a row. The strength training coach couldn’t help but praise Hunter’s work ethic, calling it “look how easy” as he set the bar high for his fellow teammates.
