“When I weighed 307 pounds and squatting 525 pounds in the Super Heavy Weight Power Lifting Championships!”

Irsay’s former wife, Meg, told the Los Angeles Times in 1987 about a time in the mid-1980s when Jim was trying to put on weight for a lifting contest. He put on 60 pounds, to go from 220 to 280.
