Alabama DL Jesse Williams blows up Twitter with 600 lb bench press

Seriously, he really did.

Bench press 600 lbs, that is.

Twitter went down at about 11:15 Eastern today, right about the same time that the photo below went viral on the popular social networking platform.

To put this in perspective, that weight is approximately the same as two Michigan offensive linemen. Denard, watch your six, bro.
