Which is why its great when we find guys who also wrestled in high school as well because you know they were gym rats and are coming in with great foundations on the strength side plus other attributes.
Sure. I like when the big guys post their #'s. Shuttle(hips) squat, and bench(to a lesser extent). They usually do, when those numbers are good. (Many of our guys dont) Bleich was really strong in HS. Surgeries took away those gains. Bergeron wasn't, took him 3 years to rep 315. He had good technique(Schmidt), though, and that was enough to send him to the NFL.
So Falk has a professor and a program that deals in sports nutrition. During COVID they did a zoom information program that mostly talked about the snacks that they have in the practice facilities for the players and what they pack for them for the airplane/bus trips. They have a whole model on sports nutrition. So, I am guessing that this has now extended to the meals. They analyze things like supplements and vitamins and things lost during games, and practices and replacing them in the bodies through food choices. There was probably more, but this is what I remember.
Awesome, thanks. This is interesting.
So much of weight is diet and so much of diet for some groups is cultural. If they give him a plan and he sticks to it, there's no reason he can't get to a good playing weight. It's not like the expectation is to make weight for a wrestling or boxing match or make a switch to TE.
Dolphins fans complain about SnC, and try to blame their Oline injuries on it.. lol
I resemble that remark. The pizza and ice cream ... fuel to build a body ... part.
Yeah, diet is definatly 60 to 70 percent of your plan. Did u guys use bands and chains a lot or no. Cory Parker had my son using them often. amazing tools.
SnC stopped posting to Twitter, years ago. Maybe Dino squashed it. Perhaps the guy doing it left. Or there were less star players that had a decent base coming in. Either way, lack of posting makes them a convenient scapegoat.
Its the lost mobility that most people fear when gaining too much muscle.
I can't speak to his S&C skills/knowledge, but I think he may have been an actual bada$$. He was on the national karate team.
Is that how Dungey learned to karate kick that Miami defender?
I don't think so, but I heard SE tried to recruit him to the national team.
He was a good SnC coach.
in what regards, metrics?
I agree about the nurtition but any good coach should know what that particular kid needs and what he needs to improve. All Lifting coaches should know about nutrition and how it impacts their program they set up for the kid. Its literally hand to hand. U wont be good without 1 or the other.
That's crazy.
Yes. Who's to say he didn't (the guy clearly keeps himself in great shape)? But if nutrition falls on the S&C coaches, why are all of the schools hiring nutrition staffs? There's a difference between being knowledgeable and developing specific meal plans for each individual. Why should our S&C coach be held to a different standard than those of other programs? To paraphrase Mitch Hedberg, I don't expect a cook to know how to farm.
Yeah i get ya but its part of process in my head anyways. Yes we should still have a nutritionist and they should all make the plan together. When i did the lifting at our local hs, i talked to the coaches and tried to tell me what they need to improve on physically wise and tried as much as i could to help or talk to the kds about eating a certain way would help them get where they wanted to go. Didnt always work but hey i tried.
