“max reverse band back squat of 485 pounds”
The official Tennessee game notes on PDF page 26 state his max and explicitly give pounds. This is the assisted reverse-band variant. The date is the March 2026 source month because the lift date is unstated. Page 1 has a conflicting day: the headline says Friday March 12, while the schedule and file name give March 13; no exact day is assigned. The same claim is on the opened official Tennessee roster at https://utsports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/nate-ament/22161 . Bodyweight is empty because the roster header omits its unit and the lift date is unknown. The 1,684-pound isometric belt force is a different test and is excluded from this lift record. The PDF is served by Vanderbilt’s official document host; its page linked this exact Google Cloud Storage URL. Page images 1 and 26 were checked.
