John Harbaugh, 62, Just Blew People’s Minds by Squatting Over 400 Pounds
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh impressed onlookers by squatting 405 pounds in a gym, a new viral video shows.
Harbaugh celebrated his 62nd birthday back in September. We reiterate – The man squatted 400+ pounds at an age when many of us are content with lifting 400 potato chips into our gullets while watching sports on the couch.
The feat demonstrates the Ravens coach’s dedication to fitness and helps set a strong example for his players. Harbaugh’s strength could inspire his team to work harder in the gym.
Can you imagine being on the roster and not successfully matching and surpassing Harbaugh’s squat numbers?
The video shows Harbaugh doing several reps, and as his trainer tells him to do just “one more,” coach digs deep and pounds out another three instead.

John Harbaugh Inspiring Ravens Players in the Weight Room
As the second-longest tenured NFL coach, Harbaugh’s dedication to physical conditioning reflects his leadership style.
With the Ravens aiming to rebound from last season’s playoff loss, their coach’s own efforts in the weight room could potentially motivate the team in their off-the-field conditioning.
Will that help them toward another Super Bowl run?
The Baltimore Ravens finished the 2024 regular season with a 12-5 record, winning the AFC North title after overcoming an 0-2 start. They defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card Round but lost to the Buffalo Bills 27-25 in the Divisional Round.
Harbaugh’s team won Super Bowl XLVII back in 2013, defeating the San Francisco 49ers (coached by John Harbaugh’s brother, Jim) 34-31 in a thrilling game, securing their second championship in franchise history.

Fans React
Folks on social media were rightly impressed by John Harbaugh’s feat of strength.
“Our coach doesn’t just talk hard work,” one Ravens fan wrote on X. “He shows it. Lead by example, that’s our coach.”
“I’m here for the dedication!” another wrote in response to the video posted on TikTok. “This is why the Ravens are a force to be reckoned with!”
So what kind of workout music does Harbaugh like to use? We can’t be certain, but the coach admitted in an interview last year to being versed in Taylor Swift’s discography, thanks to his daughter, and being enamored with the pop star’s talent.
“I couldn’t say I’m a Taylor Swift fan because I don’t know enough of the songs,” Harbaugh told Us Weekly. “But the songs I’ve heard from my daughter over the years, I like ‘em. I think they’re excellent.”
“I think she’s so talented. When you watch her perform, oh my god, it’s sick how talented she is.”
