I just think he isn't training hard and takes off a few seasons here and there. Setup an Olympic Games and he'll crush the field.

Works for me. Every time, one or more of the above are off for me......I am always in a poor state. It took me a long time to listen to it, especially with no coach.

No doubt!

I have been training to stay in shape for rec flag football and its fun being able to outrun and cover kids 10 years younger.

Yeah, not many. I can think of only a few who lift heavy and run really fast. Who in the nfl that are play wr or db is lifting heavy in the offseason, maybe Revis, maybe Patrick Peterson still does...

Do you guys get much from weights anymore.

I don't think oly lifts contributed to any power or speed increases I have ever seen. They were kind of fun but I no longer do them. In fact after I got...

He had some type of hamstring issue recently. Plus he's the best sprinter ever, has the Oly golds to prove it, and wins at will; I'm sure motivation is hard to come by at times. He's really never...

RB, what type of total volumes for bench and squat and how close to failure are you going?

That is crazy.

As lkh noted I just don't think weights are so important that you must squat or clean, etc.

James has had numerous athletes perform leg press, lunge or step up, and some continued doing a squat. ...

OP:
Do you use the wrist flick cue that Charlie always advised?

Think flick the wrist, loose and quick, straight from the ground out in front of you to full extension. Try not arc with the hand...

Something similar happened to me bending over to pick up a book. Extremely painful but healed in a week or two. It felt like a sublux and then slid back into place.

Those were pretty fast looking for tempo runs. Certainly good fitness then.

Whoever she is, she's hot.

I am still doing power clean, bench, and either jump squat or stepup occasionally. I will probably try the trapbar dl in a month or so.

By conservative I was very ho hum about weights, not...

Maybe. It seems to make more sense for other sports. I have thought it for awhile but I have never tried this (dropping squat or something similar) until recently.

I am almost positive I was...

I don't think any of those are necessary either. In my observation it is mostly irrelevant which lower exercises are chosen in most cases. Leg press, stepup, whatever. Something to strengthen the...

I don't believe he does trap DL or squat (when done) for more than a few months out of the year, GPP pretty much. I notice most lowerbody static lifts are dropped by Pfaff and Schexnayder during the...

Hell, if he's progressing why add or change anything other than normal progression.

I would say it's in between a back squat and classic deadlift because of the torso position. Maybe people say...

It would be easy for a taller athlete. In the videos I have seen all the athletes use the upper hand holds. Relatively short range of motion. From my observation it's weights..........not the most...

I don't think learning to squat is that hard but that's off topic.

Interestingly Dan Pfaff has somewhat phased out squats and seems to prescribe Trapbar deads more. Some of his athletes...

I believe that is the truth. The info is one Mike's site and Mike wouldn't lie.

I thought John Smith coached the OLs well for a non-weightlifting coach.

Once again shows that weights are just icing not the cake.

I did a John Smith split session 2x4x100 with 45s between runs, 10min between sets. That was a bitch. Have no idea if it works.

He's thicker than that now most likely. Those weights are never accurate. Look at Ryan Bailey, one weight shows 180 something and the other 217 lbs.

My .02.........using push as a cue made me slower in acceleration. I can't remember how much but it was significant. The best cue for me has been pump the arms vigorously. That's what has given me...
