Texas Rangers first baseman Prince Fielder is showing off his strength in the weight room this offseason

Prince Fielder is a big man, and a strong one to say the least. After missing a lot of last year due to an injury, Fielder has been really putting in the work in the weight room in preparation of a strong 2015 season.

The 275-pound monster was in the weight room showing off his dedication recently, by letting everyone see how good he is at the bench press. Fielder, in the video, proceeds to bench press 405 pounds, which is impressive for anyone of any size.

Even though he struggles a little bit at the end, he manages to get the impressive weight up while blasting those pectorals.

Fielder had a disappointing start with Texas last year and only hit three home runs to go with 16 RBI in 42 games after neck surgery ended his season.

If this video is any consolation for Rangers fans, however, it appears that Fielder is doing much better and is looking a lot stronger. Perhaps he can get back to being the slugger he was brought in to be for Texas this year.

Fielder is currently in the midst of a nine-year/$214,000,000 contract he signed originally with the Detroit Tigers in 2012. For all that money, the Rangers are going to need him healthy and then some.
