Tristan Wirfs is an absolute unit. And rebounding from a sabotaging injury in 2025, the offensive tackle has already left his fanbase's jaws hanging wide open.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Instagram page, in collaboration with the NFL and Hawkeye Football, recently shed light on Wirfs' insane strength, posting a reel of him moving some serious metal. The caption wrote: "@tristan_wirfs74 hang cleaning 365 pounds like it’s nothing 💪."

For the Buccaneers star tackle, even 365 lbs looked lightweight, with Wirfs hitting 2 impressive reps. But this is far from his personal best in the hang clean, a workout staple for Wirfs to build his explosive strength.

Wirfs recorded a historic hang clean of 450 lbs for 4 reps during a max-out workout, when he played for the Iowa Hawkeyes, breaking the all-time school record held by Brandon Scherff at 443 lbs.

Moreover, beyond the large numbers in the weight room seen in the Instagram reel, Wirfs is also known for his unconventional training methods, including jumping out of swimming pools.

He is also known to have secured elite numbers at the NFL Scouting Combine. He ran 40 yards in 4.85 seconds, while breaking the Offensive Lineman record for vertical jump at 36.5 inches. Benching 225 lbs for 24 reps further sealed the narrative of his Herculean strength.

Behind these jaw-dropping physical feats is a massive diet.

Offensive Tackle Tristan Wirfs' nutrition game

The 320 lbs (145 kg) giant follows a colossal, calorie-dense eating regimen to support his superhuman strength and explosive tackles. As Fox Sports described it, his diet is a "far cry" from Tampa Bay teammate Tom Brady’s.

Tristan Wirfs' girlfriend, Meredith Sutton, shared the diet of the 6'5" NFL star on TikTok, as published on Fox Sports. Wirfs begins the day with four scrambled eggs, “cheesy” hash browns, and six pieces of bacon, plus a carb-rich waffle.

For lunch, he devours two burgers, containers of coleslaw and potato salad, and a "lot of chocolate cake". Wirfs opts for four slices of bread alongside chips with spinach and artichoke dip for his afternoon snack.

The NFL standout caps things with a whole "meat lovers" pizza and a dessert of chocolate cake and “some Oreos and milk".

Clearly, Tristan Wirfs' diet is extremely calorie-heavy. However, with his huge muscle mass and intense training routine, Wirfs needs all the energy he can get.

So, what's your opinion on Tristan Wirfs' unconventional training style and eating regimen?
