Yup, that's former Dartmouth defensive lineman Josiah Green equaling the Duke record of 36 reps on the 225-pound bench press. (Thanks to a good friend of BGA for sharing.)
A look around Xwitter turned up a couple other posts of note:

EXTRA POINTBefore Mrs. BGA and I headed out on our hike yesterday, I grabbed a shot of Mount Moosilauke, which featured a new covering of snow in contrast with our newly melted, brown field:
When we got back from our hike up our snow-covered local mountain, Mrs. BGA took this pic of the alpenglow lighting up another mountain beyond our field.
