this couple looks like one I chatted to on tiny[.]cc/fuckmywife
im a strength training student, but i think its important to actually practice skills AND lift weights to get better at football.
Haha, yeah I’m sure Rezazedah could keep up with Bolt over 50m!
paul puz is an animal
Olympic lifters are the strongest, most powerful, flexible (2nd to gymnist),athletic,and balanced athletes in the world GUARANTEED. They also have the highest vertical jump and 50m dash times that rival and faster than plympic sprinters.

Consider adding SquatPrecision to each of your squat racks for : an added safety feature, and helping your players hit the exact depth you consider to be the most productive / efficient. Your teams logo can be added to the device if you send in the patch(es) Just google squatprecision or do a quick utube search at squatprecision to check out the device.
right!! =D
my friend squats 500 and can put his legs behind his head. but he is an anomaly.

Olympic lifters are, in terms of explosive power, the best athletes you can find anywhere. And that “momentum” is actually the explosive power of the hip extensors actually the entire body being imposed on the bar. What you are talking about is not correct. You do not always want to reach fatigue, you have to manage fatigue or you will trash your nervous system. You have no idea what the hell you are talking about.
Thats why there are coaches there to make sure the exercise is done properly
What comes down to coaching?
Wrong, it comes down to coaching.
Very true….thats why olympic athletes stretch, stretch, stretch and stretch some more.
so true
Im not a strength coach, I am a trainer, but I know my shit; the biggest issue across the board whether it be athletes or general pop is flexibility of the posterior chain and to a lesser extent the hip flexors. Without sufficient flexibility in those muscles performance in the weight room and on the field cannot even approach its full potential. I’ve personally never met someone who couldnt squat that had adequate flexibility.
Don’t think the teams that are consistently the best have better strength coaches, If you are a top level div 1 football program the difference in the quality of strength coaches is minimal, they are all excellent. It really all comes down to recruiting the best players.
Go PSU football!
Will you be alive for the 2009 football season? It’s not guaranteed right?
its called a trap bar , excellent for deadlifts
psu is a joke when it comes to physcial preparation for american football. vladimir zatsiorsky doesn’t even work with the athletes there. who cares about john thomas?
What’s the name of the barbell he uses at 4:18?
it may not make a difference for the overall team or where they get drafted, but lifting free weights has a bigger impact individually than machines. free weights incorporate stabilizer muscles that machines dont, and help develop overall strength and athleticism that you cant get from machines. especially when you do olympic style lifts
there was a study done comparing two teams, one who used mainly free weights the other using mainly machines and there was very little difference when it came to the teams success and players drafted, ill try to find the article again i read it a few months ago and ill post the link
When I played fb in college, there were players on the team that hadn’t done any lifting prior to college football. AND THERE WAS USUALLY “NO COMPARISON” between the 2 groups. It always shows on the field who has paid their dues in the weightroom. Oh and for u striving FB players, u better believe that when us coaches meet u we are even doing a physical analysis of how u look. When u look like a beast it helps u get your foot in the door, it makes us want to see if the talent matches the body.
