Richard Pryor had a good story on a VooDoo woman. Be careful what you wish for.....we don't want Jalen to wind up with little feet.

The post about muscle memory holds true in many sports. I'm a competitive powerlifter, and so much of training is just repetitive movement and technique -- until you no longer think, you just move. It's true for this 43-year-old woman who lifts for the joy of it, and it's true for top athletes.

I have no doubts there are benefits for this type of training. And I don't imagine the trainer, or the athlete, would do something that they thought was too risky.

Having said that, I still see every treadmill wipeout video I've ever seen flash before my eyes when I see Jalen leap onto that treadmill.

I think its awesome to see Jalen pushing himself to get better and better. As for injuries, I try to not think about them.

Worries me. Not gonna lie I tried turning it up once. Got ugly quick. Feet flew out from under me and it flipped me off and in to a wall. Had some bad burns but it did make for a good laugh for everyone.

Me and my friends use to challenge each other running on. The fastest speed it had.... I have no clue how fast we were going but we got pretty good at it after awhile. We also got slung off of it multiple times when we first began doing it.

No. I realize the purpose is to push him, but what happens when he hits the .5/1 mph faster than he's able to run? Could be ugly.

I know they do it on the treadmill for convenience but it'd be safer if they would just time him on the track. And if they want to get fancy, have it set up like a race qualifying session where there are timed sections. Setup a laser timer every 5,10, or 15 yards, depending on the final length he is to run.

And if they don't have money for the laser timers, sell a couple of treadmills. :)

JMHO

You guys have watched too many YouTube fail compilations. He's an elite athlete, not a teenage girl sneeking into the hotel's workout room. :-D

better not watch them in the weight room then....because there's no easy way to hop out from under 400-600 lbs of dead weight on the Olympic bar....

Explosive speed and Power to be ELITE in the SEC do not come without some risks involved in strength and conditioning training. It's just that simple.

We ALL want our guys to be big, strong, and fast---and we want to see Hurd run over and through would-be tacklers like they were nothing but sacks of 'taters--as well as run away from them in the open field. This is just a small sampling of what it takes to get that done.

Walter Payton used to sprint up long hills. Dick Butkus used to push and pull cars around the parking lot in a harness. Guys today also wear harnesses and pull tractor tires around on the grass. ALL methods have risks involved.

But we can't stomach watching what it takes in training to accomplish all of that. Well--now you know just a very small part of what it takes--and it makes a bunch of Volnation posters nervous.....go figure...:salute:

Get over yourself.

If you don't know the difference in risk of injury from lifting weights to jumping on a treadmill going over 20 mph I don't know what to tell you.
All training has risks. Every snap of football has risks.
Don't assume the other people posting haven't trained, lifted, and competed.

Wonder who replaces him when he gets hurt from doing this? Can they not track his speed on a field?

Sorry for being that guy, but this just seems like an unnecessary risk when he is the difference between 8 wins and a national title.

Don't think I pulled your chain, did I?

Thanks for educating me, sir....I still don't see what sent you off into a self-indulgent, self-aggrandizing baby tantrum.....but I can help there, too.

I've trained with weights for over 30 years--seen a lot of accidents in the weight room--especially with 5-600 pounds on the squat rack and 450+ on the Bench...

But I've never seen ONE TREADMILL accident among elite athletes training under close supervision of a personal strength trainer--EVER!

I've seen pulled muscles--thighs, hammies, and calves--and severe cramps, but never anyone actually get hurt on the treadmill--UNLIKE the guys I've seen blow out knees and destroy their shoulders with heavy weights.

So--please educate me Einstein on your vast array of superior experiences! I'm waiting anxiously for your elitist, expert opinions....

All training has risks.

That's the MEANING behind my post. Why do you have to think you can call me out just to say the same thing. You are the one who needs to get over your own sense of self-importance....but I guess you told me....way to go!! :clapping::clapping::clapping:

Don't assume the other people posting haven't trained, lifted, and competed.

Did you actually read all of the posts after her comments agreeing with her concerns about Jalen's training?

I picked one post and responded to it BECAUSE it was EVIDENT that most who were worried about his training either have never trained hard like that or have never been pushed beyond personal limits in an effort to get better.

And ALL of the nervous "nellys" expressing concern over his training ASSUME that they know more than those trained professionals who are actually IN CHARGE of the training regimens...

"here endeth the lesson"

please go back to sucking your thumb and playing your video games. :salute:

That's exactly what it's about. Training to run faster.

I'm actually surprised so many are really worried about this. Hurd is just training to run faster. What he is doing is good for him and the team.

I actually just took offense to your condescending tone to another poster just stating their concern over our star RB getting injured.
You seemed to be lecturing the board on not having the stomach to see our players train which I didn't agree with.
If it was a video of Jalen bench pressing or squatting and people we're worrying about injury then I could see it but that wasn't the case.
It's common sense that some forms of training have higher risks than others.
I've seen and experienced injuries in the weight room and on the field. My point was that jumping on a treadmill going over 20 mph has a higher risk of injury than other forms of training.
That doesn't mean what he's doing hasn't been proven to have positive results on speed. It just means it appears to be a high risk of injury approach in my opinion.

Btw we're all really impressed that you lifted weights for so long. Once again assuming that others don't have as much experience or knowledge as you do.

I guess we can thank John Kelly for clocking in at 22mph (or whatever it was) in practice. Now all the RBs keep hearing about it and Jalen, always the competitor, decided to push himself to the limits to "beat" him. Anyway that's my 2 cent theory and I'm sticking to it. (May have already been mentioned. I claim TLDR)
