Abrams growing in stature, leadership

What Groce really wanted was for Abrams to harden his body, add some strength and shed some fat. Abrams has done that, too. He's down about 5 pounds to 184, his body fat percentage has dropped a few points, and he says he's as strong as he's ever been.

"That was one of my goals that I set for myself was to get stronger, and I've definitely done that," he said. "There's still work to be done, and I still need to get better."
