Nice that we are using real weights.
Leave the machines for the local YMCA and the stay at home moms that want to tone up.

If he can put it together, Dukes is such a hoss. Who was the 2nd guy on the hurdles? Kersey? Dude looked like he had springs.

Pretty good video. A couple of the players look completely shocked in that video......like they don't know what hit them. HA!

Would like to know also. I said the same thing when watching it. "Dang who's that!?"
Can't freaking wait to see this all pay off in the fall.
PS- Anybody notice Alex Kenney getting a mini Chaz Powell with his hair style?

Are we at a disadvantage because Fitz2 has to first focus on technique?

For the short-term, but it's absolutely necessary. The short-term advantage is that these guys are also going to experience a far more drastic acceleration in the program since their bodies will respond to it for the first time. The long-term advantages are endless, and there are really no disadvantages.

The biggest short term benefit is they wont get hurt ttying to throw around weight with bad technique. We lost a couple kids that way.

Olympic lifting is pointless and more harmful without correct technique, and that takes times. Once they get that down the gains will be exponential.
I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I've said.

Oh he knows, he moved the machines out himself.
Not that im against machines and HIT either. Both can be used within a SC program at the high D1 level. I just never could understand why that's all we did...

I haven't even watched it yet, because youtube is blocked on my work computer. I will still give it a +1 based on pure blind faith.

Hahaha, its well placed.
Basically Fitz2 has them working on explosiveness, through the previously noted squats, powercleans, and bench.
I love it. So much better than JT and HIT that its ridiculous.

Anybody know how he plans to work incoming freshman into the routine?
Will he do something like what JT did, where freshman essentially spend all spring/summer doing lighter workouts, or will he give them a few week crash course in the summer and then throw them in with all the other guys?

I suppose he will take the same transition with incoming freshmen. "Slow cook" them and then throw em in with the Lions!

Some folks mentioning that Fitz2 looks like Henry Rollins but to me he looks a lot like the Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt.
Anyone else see that resemblance?

gotta admit, I never did stair jumps like that.
I didn't really get what he was saying about tanks, and such at the beginning of the video, unless he was referring to the big boys over here, planes (little guys) over here.

Position groups. You can tell by how they are split up throughout the video.
