When I was in Arizona I remember seeing a brief special on him…his training was sweet to watch…it obviously has proven since he is a very good saftey with LB size in the NFL.
Where did you order the video?
he is a unreal football player…but being strong is being strong…dosen’t matter if your a football player or a preist…and he is not “incredibily strong”…chuck vogepol, mariuas powdanswkia (sp), garry frank, mike miller, ron palmer, brent mikesell, hugo gerrard …these guys are “incredibiliy strong”…rb

Well, I try not to speak in absolutes, as I haven’t found many in this world. Those guys you mentioned? They are incredible. But if I walk into the gym tomorrow and see a 120 woman squatting 250, I’m not going to think, “that’s good, but she’s no Chuck V.” Everything is relative.

I wouldn’t say he’s a very good safety. He’s a bit of a tweener; suspect against the pass, absolutely devastating against the run. A treat to watch, though. I loved watching him crush Todd Heap in that ESPN game last year. The guy can hit, no doubt.
i havent seen it but i wouldnt expect too much from it from what ive heard…
apparently it outlines the exercises and not the structure or the periodization which really limits its use
I have seen the guy rep out natural ham raises!! That shit is tough. 99% of the people on here probably couldn’t get one.
have you already checked out the training video’s of Lawyer Milloy, Rogers Beckett, Mike Minter, Robert Griffith, Darren Woodson, Eric Brown, Mike Doss, Darren Sharper, Donovin Darius, Corey Chavous, Greg Wesley, Jay Bellamy, Sammy Knight, Rodney Harrison, Michael Lewis and Matt Bowen? Like Adam, they all play NFL strong safety too, and were 160 lbs at one time in their lives, but had more tackles last year.

Big,
Adam IS incredibly strong. He benched 530 in about 1/2 sec. That’s strong. That he did it at a BW of 210, that’s really good. Its like you weighing 275 and benching 650. Adam benched 225 32 times at the NFL combine. Oh, you can’t do 300 32 times? IF you can, you can talk. If not, sounds like jelousy in my book.

first off…that 523 bench is a forced fucking rep i have seen the damn video thats some great 2 man lifting…that lift wouldnt have been passed in any legitame fed in america… i have never been to a competition where your coach can tug on the bar…and you think a 523 bench at 210 is incredibile…that shows you have no fucking clue body…lets just look at 2 of my training partners guys at my measley gym…justin frickie age 20 525 pound bench…shaw mccleran age 22 500 pound bench at 220…all done in competition without there coach doing a forced rep…and these guys arent even considerd average…lets talk about some other guuys i have trained with …ever heard of ron palmer…168 pounds 900 pound squat, 600 pound bench, and pulled 700 for 4 reps at bench america…now why would i be jealous of adam every one around me is stronger than him i am much more jealous of my training partners than him…you have no fucking clue what strong is man…hey you may want to wait and talk shit to some one when you know who the fuck they are…i have trained with the man who has the title as the strongest man pound for pound in the world ron palmer…adam is a great football player but you dont get to have title of incredbily strong unless your incredibiliy strong… some one has to stand up fot the hardcore guys out there that bust there ass for the tital of “incredibile”…adam is a strong football player but in the world of strength he is in no way incredibile…oh yea my 2nd attmept in my next mmet will probally be around 550 is guess i am incredibile…no i am not incredibile i am very very average in the world of strength…and guess what so is adam…rb
ps a little tip…you may want to get soem training partners who are actually strong…so you can realize a 523 pound bench at 210 is in no way incredibile…
Big,
I respect you, I respect Silverback. Hey, where the hell is my kids’ strength program that SB was going to send to me?
In any event, you don’t need to get too emotional over a lack of clarity by me over an adjective, ‘incredible’. If you want to limit the boundary to the top 1/10th of 1%, that’s fine by me. Hey what YOU’RE lifting, to me, is extremely strong, not ‘average’. If you’re not winning national contests with 550, that’s OK. The real winning in my book is doing your best and if that’s 550, uh, that’s pretty damn strong. (even if there’s a relative few who can lift more). I do agree that ‘incredible& amazing’ are used too much to describe average feats. I’m going to call Archuleta ‘very strong’. Semantics.
Big Martin, I respect your knowledge but in all honesty I don’t think he was comparing Adam to powerlifters. That’s comparing apples to oranges. He’s strong as fuck for a football player his size is what he was saying I think. I’m sure you know this, but it seems there was something lost somewhere within this conversation.
I know you train football players yourself. Do you not think Adam is quite strong for a football player his size? Or would you consider him more average?
There are different area’s of “strong”, allot of people see doing dips with so much explosive elevation that they can clap in mid air( Adam does these for reps)as Very strong. Compared to a Powerlifter doing a 600lb bench in a bench shirt and could’nt do 10 pull-ups to save his life. Adam IS Very Strong anyway you look at it and so is the 600lb bencher just two totally different types of strong.
I know Adam Archuleta was trained (at least formerly) by John Davies of Renegade Training. His training is really good stuff that’s on a functional style of strength/weight training.
The question would be, how many of those powerlifters are as fast as he is and can make use of it like he does?

what the fuck does that have to do with anything…the quote was “incredibiliy strong”…the person said nothing being fast or whatever…rb

no for a football player i would say he is as strong as they get…i never said he wasnt strong…and for a football player in that contex i would say he is incredibiliy strong…my thing is some one needs ot stand up for the guys in this world be it oly lifting, strongman, powerlifting that are truly “incredibiliy strong” and prove it in competition…AND IN THE WORLD OF STRENGTH COMPEITION AND BASED ON THE LIFT I HAVE SEEN HIM DO THE BENCH PRESSIN THAT WORLD HIS BENCH IS IN N0- WAY INCREDIBILE AND RIGHT AT AVERAGE…and for the retard who brought up the ebnch shirt i would love ot go into a gym hand adam a bench shirt and put 525 on the bar back up not let his coach touch the bar and do a forced rep and see what happens…becuase i think i have a good idea he would have a nice st of busted teeth from a 520 pound bar…rb
ps i am alos down on that lift becuase it was a forced rep i have seen the video…and am a competitive powerlifter i under stand that even a guy putting his on the bar and keeping it in your groove can add 50-75 pounds to your lifts…its not a legal lift in any competition…rb
