At just 22 years old, Baxter has already earned six caps for England and is known for his explosive power on the field – but this latest feat has taken his reputation to new heights.
The video, which quickly went viral on Reddit, shows Baxter completing the lift with ease, much to the amazement of his teammates.
Fans were quick to react, with one user, dildobaggin89, joking, “He's going to be doing double that by the time he's a teenager.” Another user, Nark_Narkins, quipped, “He's certainly a strong toddler. Can't wait till he grows up a bit.”
Even Baxter’s England teammates couldn’t hide their amusement. jarraljrslim pointed out, “Earl’s face at the end says it all,” while jackoirl added, “Maro laughing was great as well.”
The sheer power on display led some to wonder just how much further Baxter could go. One user, JohnSV12, noted, “I’m sure he said his 1rm was 250 in an Inside Line vid. Which about tracks with this… Impressive for a 23yo.”
Known for his dedication to improving his ball-carrying and physicality, Baxter has already made 59 appearances for Harlequins and was a key figure in their 2020-21 Premiership title win.
