Courtney Upshaw is freaking huge, no wonder he sets the edge so well.
DANG!!
Now, let him go flip some Raiders, Squeelers, Chargers, Slurs, etc!!!
I don't think that was CGI.
I don't think they needed any.
MAN'S A BEAST
Good God!!!
If yall think that was legit, I have this bridge I'd like to sell you. Great price, too.
That's about as real as this commercial ....

that was awesome
I dunno. That looks like a 1990-ish Toyota Corolla, which had a curb weight of 2390 lbs:

In flipping it from the side, you obviously don't need to move all of that weight--you're picking it up on a lever, the fulcrum of the lever being the tires on the off-side of the car. Back when I was in engineer school, I could have drawn a free-body diagram and given you a reasonable guess as to how much weight he'd actually have to pick up to do that. As it sits, though, how much weight do you think Upshaw can deadlift? I don't know, but I'm betting that if you can deadlift 800 lbs or so you could maybe do that.
Personal experience here--about 15 years ago, a friend and I turned our other friend's Jeep CJ-whatever sideways in its parking space by picking up the rear and moving it sideways (both of us, at the time, were 6'2, 220-ish and muscleheads). A couple of years ago, a different couple of friends and I lifted another friend's MR2 up onto sandbags so he couldn't drive. I'm a decently strong guy, but I ain't no Upshaw. I think it's possible, particularly if they lightened the car some (removing the engine and transmission would go a long way).
His body type reminds of James Harrison. Not quite as freakishly athletic as Harrison about 3 yrs ago (post HGH cycling), but If he works on playing with leverage a little more, he's going to be a mainstay and a pass-rusher too.
I got to meet him at an event, he's huge, hands like catchers mitts. Very nice young man though. Was great with the kids.
Upshaw is a beast.
You don't think Upshaw could have lifted that cheap ass car? That man is country strong.
