Angus Winchester has always been a very strong man. Before he began playing football in high school he had learned to lift weights with his grandfather. The focus on training and heavy compound barbell lifts he had developed in middle school had given him a huge advantage over other kids his age because of how much stronger he was than them. Later in high school he applied this to his work on the school's powerlifting team. Winchester competed in the heaviest weight division. His specialties were the deadlift and the squat. He was no slouch on the bench press either, but the amount of weight he was able to move with his legs was astounding. His senior year Angus Winchester set the Tennessee state record for high school powerlifting when he posted a 1950lb total during a competition. That record still stands today.

Although Winchester no longer competes in powerlifting or strongman sports like he did in high school he still trains using the fundamentals that he gained from learning to lift heavy weights. Winchester credits this for much of the success he has found in professional football, as it was always his strength and work ethic that set him apart from everyone else.
