I'm no S&C Coach. But that's a dangerous lift.

If he hits failure on either leg there is no way to get out from under the weight, it'll just crash on the back of his leg. Sure, some spotters on the side could catch it, but it's still risky.

I guess so is football. WTH....what do I know. Lol

This is just a variation of the split squat. My track coach used to make us do them with 2 spotters. Mind you we did them at low weights. They work your core and stabilizer muscles really well. And it's relatively safe so long as you have spotters. I believe Croom was spotter #1 and spotter #2 was out of view on the other side.

That's a standard workout. That's safer than running sprints. It's a controlled environment. Sprinting, u can tear a hamstring pop an Achilles or tear something. I say that to say this, this is how your suppose to train.

That is really impressive. That exercise will take your breath away. I do the Bulgarian split squats with dumbells and my back foot on a bench. I turn 50 this year, and I can't imagine even putting that kind of weight on my back. Sheesh. I can't wait to see him on the Sportscenter top 10 every week absolutely destroying some defensive back. And he loves contact. This is going to be a fun year. I can't wait.
