I have a copy of the Miami Hurricanes workout…I saved it before they took it down off the internet…Its about 16 pages long in Microsoft Word, So I’m not sure how to post it, But if anyone would like it PM me you e-mail and I’ll shoot it right over.

My freshmen class included RW McQuarters, the All-Pro CB. RW had never lifted weights seriously in his life, yet could easily bench at least 275 as an 18-year old and could easily do sets of 5 with 315 on the squat. Again, this is someone who had never lifted before. Oh, and he ran a legit 4.4.[/quote]
As a huge Bears fan, I have to say that must have been awesome to play with that guy. He may no longer be a Bear, but he was a hell of an athlete.

At Oklahoma State we have a “training table” for meals. Three meals a day with additional snacks the players can take home. Very nutritious, with lots of protein and calories. Some players (for example overweight linemen) will be restricted on what they can eat (i.e., no desert) but basically its all-you-can eat. The alloted budget for the “training table” this year was one million dollars.[/quote]
That might be one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard about a college sports program.
Young Buckeye talent- Vernon Gholston
Go Bucks!

This is standard fare @ most any D-1 program, when I went to Vandy on a recruiting trip their training table was out of this world, rightfully so SI ranked it as the best training table in the nation in 2003 (maybe 2004).

This is what he looked like just two years ago. Clearly, the last 24 months have been spent in the cafeteria and the weight room.
Here is the U of Miami’s offseason workout program. It could be bogus, but it does look like a pretty good program.

That’s an insane transformation.

Ah, a reference to Penn State’s HIT… my stomach is churning already.
I just got done playing 4 years as a Penn State defensive end, and their weight training program is the worst I have ever seen.
For example, dropping from 265 @ 8% bodyfat, down to 238 at 16% bodyfat… within the first 9 months of being there.
PSU had the number one recruiting class in the country last year and this year’s recruiting class is already shaping up to be a probable top 3 or 5 class.
How is this possible, under a division 1 lifting program? Try never touching a barbell or dumbbell for the first 2 years I was there. Oh, and on the machines, which is all we did besides manual resistance, try going 8 seconds concentric, follwed by 8 seconds eccentric.
Any PSU player with a physique resembling somebody who lifts weights is the result of unbelievable genetics that would respond to anything.
Just try taking a comparison of the body structure, specifically lower, of PSU lineman vs. Ohio State lineman when they play this year.
I love my alma mater, but that lifting program is ruining one of the best football traditions in America. Machine based HIT should be reserved for Octogenarians, if anybody.
PSU used to get away with this because they brought in so many uber talented players. Now that their overall recruiting has taken a nosedive, the HIT program is catching up to them. It’s sad, really. As much as I don’t like PSU, I think it’s inexcusable to see young players wasting away and not achieving their true potential.
Michigan is another HIT culprit. Unlike PSU though, they still bring in a ton of talented kids that will be good in spite of their poor training. Imagine how much better Michigan would be if their S&C program was of the same caliber of a Texas or USC?

Yeah Buckeyes! From what I hear their strength program is pretty top notch. I think Mike Kudla broke or tied the combine record for 225 bench this year.

Dyoder, you’re absolutely right in what you heard. The head strength coach, John Thomas, has indeed “banned” Zatsiorsky from the football facilities, and was extremely opposed to me taking one of Zatsiorskys courses.

I seriously cannot believe I just read this…
Coach X at elitefts (former Pitt and now Browns strength coach) brought up a great point. He said if you want to find a great lifting program look at a smaller less famous schools because a lot of the big ones just get by on the superb athletes they bring in. The small schools have to be creative to get all they can out of their players.
The S&C coach at UNC has his own site that y’all might want to check out.

I go to University of Virginia, and did their lifting program for a month (my roommate played for three years). Honestly, it’s pretty similar to a Waterbury program. They incorporate a little more explosive lifts, like cleans, but otherwise, they stick to the money lifts and vary up the set/rep scheme each day while working out three times a week. We have some major league hosses here . . . Howie Long’s son Chris came in looking pretty skinny, and having seen him out tonight, he’s a hell of a lot bigger than his father ever was in the NFL. I can probably hunt down what I did on the UVa program in my workout journal if any of oyu all are interested[/quote]
please do so
i dont know if anyone cares, but i have the total food-stretching running lifting plan for the colts, as well as an excel spreadsheet for all the lifting for every sport done at northern arizona university. not sure how to get everything on here, pm if you want something, ill try my best to send it to you.
It also helps with the bigger schools to have athlete cafeterias where nutritionists provide the food that they need for them.

At least he’s not a Wolverine. Oh wait, he wouldn’t look like that if he did HIT, I forgot.

LOL
Bauer, I’m out in LA now but lived in Pittsburgh (Wexford) for many years. Went to N.A.- a little older than Greg Garrity. I wonder if S&C coaches are doing any of the Archuleta/Jay Schroeder/InnoSport/Kelley Bagget, etc. training that promotes quickness and better short distance speed, cutting ability, etc? Jumanji is a good proponent; I am starting to think this is how my son (freshman in HS) ought to train. However, it seems college and HS are still dominated by heavy lifting, which is good to a point but utilizes 2 sec movements…when the athlete needs to react or move to a ballcarrier or to a pass in what? .2 or .3 seconds? Hence the need for advanced plyos? Thx.
