Update on new strength coach

:no: I am no fan of Wylie but the stats the OP put forward cannot be used to ascertain either the efficacy of new or old S/C coaches.

You can turn your thumb down up and stick it up your smartaleck...ascertain that. And it's not meaningless info, if there was no improvement it would not be "meaningless" info either. It means they are improving, which in no way is "meaningless". It may very well be no big deal as you are implying, but it sure beats the crap out of no improvement. :salute:
 
we’ve doubled our speed in the areas that we wanted to improve "QUOTE Ron McKeefery.
Now does this mean the Poole will not look like a turtle trying to out run a rabbit. If anybody seen him break loose last you you will understand. Don't get me wrong he a good back but some of his long runs could have been longer if he was just a bit faster. The run against Bama last year doesn't end the way it did he has to run 5 more yards.

Will need slow mo-glasses to watch em run....4.4 speed reduced to 2.2 for 40 yds will be like releasing lightening from a bottle. Can't wait.

I ascertain that only a full dunce capped cretin would post that.
And it's not meaningless info,
It is EXACTLY meaningless info since we have no idea whether or not it is true, against what baseline these "increases" are determined and a plethora of other clinical specs which are so far out of your reach I refuse to include them here.

see above
It means...
Not a ****ing thing.

I've been around plenty of lifting, and I can tell you two things.... One, if you go up fifty pounds in 7 weeks then you didn't know what the hell you were doing before you started the miracle program.
Assuming you were being sarcastic, they are no miracle programs. The miracle is in finding the right protocols for each athlete, monitoring them closely and making adjustments as often as possible. That includes adjustments during the execution of the program, lift by lift.
Two, these are well-trained athletes and advanced lifters who have been busting theirs in the weightroom for years now. They cannot, and should not, make huge gains in a short period of time
Gains in terms of mass lifted can be artificially scored by using a number of scoring criteria, rest/recovery intervals blah blah yakkity yak. IOW, we have no idea whatsoever what these so-called gains mean, whether they are credible or not and, more importantly, whether they will produce better football players. It's a bunch of bull**** and I am less than pleased our new S/C Coach has chosen to "play to the public" with a bunch of meaningless, self-serving, ridiculous claims and unverified data.

Further, if said S/C Coach wishes to show on VN to debate such,, or any other venue of choice, tell him this is one Jew who will be happy to do so...who won't be lying (Sorry Pearl, you swine).

You have many pinatas El Guapo....:neener:(obscure reference of the day) And I would probably say I agree with what you have to say sometimes, but you are such a monumentally arrogant, egotistical full on richard, it makes it extremely difficult to listen to anything you have to say. You are right however, we don't know if the info given is true, but I have no reason to assume that McKeef is just another lying pos at this point. You don't have to have a degreee in physical therapy, or sports medicine, or whatever it is you have studied to know that improvement in strength and speed (assuming our strength coach is not just making crap up) is good.
 
"Do you work out at Vince's? Oh,I guess not, I would have seen you since I'm there every day. How much do you squat?"

"You go first."

"We'll go at the same time"

<inaudible>

"You didn't say anything."

"Ahh, neither did you." <dumb laughter>

"You see Star Wars?"

"About 10 times."

"A lot of people tell me I look like Han Solo."

"Really?"

Haha, Boogie Nights.

Why is it always 300lbs though, always that nice even number. Never 295, 310, etc. Even 315 makes more sense, since that is 3 wheels even. 300 is 2 45's, 1 35, and a 2.5 on each side. Such an odd set-up.
 
"Since I've been here, in the last eight weeks, these guys have made huge strides," McKeefery said Thursday morning inside Neyland-Thompson Sports Center in his first meeting with local media. "I mean, we've increased our bench press by 25 pounds a guy, about. Our squats are 40-, 50-pound increases. We've got significantly faster. We've doubled our speed in the areas that we wanted to improve.
"We've made some huge strides, but we've got a long way to go still, and I'm looking forward to continuing to keep the training going through spring ball and, obviously, into the summer."

Looks like he's the real deal. I dont remember these sorts of gains under Bennie.

"The opportunity presented itself. I had worked my whole career to get to a place like the University of Tennessee. I put a lot of time and commitment and work in at the University of South Florida, and through the NFL and the different experiences I've had, to get to a program of this caliber where they're going to provide you with the resources to be the strength coach that you want to be.

"And with the commitment level with the new facility, and the commitment level they've shown me and what we're going to be able to do here, we have all the tools to be successful and really get this program back to being the example. That's what my goal is, is to make this strength-and-conditioning program be the example — not take a backseat to anybody."

Absolutely all of this.

Could yall dumb this down for those of us that didnt finish college:p
 
I'm going to go on a limb and speculate that the speed gains would be about some random drill or rep rate and nothing to do with running in a line.

Also I get Ari's point but not to the extent he's whining about it. CFB is about drama. I don't pay $200 bucks to watch warm ups and not many are going to sign up for dissertations on workouts. Give me a sound bite that is the equivalent of a thumbs up and move on, in the end it's wins anyway.

Never understood why 300 was such a big deal. There's a guy at my gym, See him on average 3 days a week, always says "gonna try 300 next week" but for some reason he is afraid to go over 295...been on it for a month and consistently gets 2 reps in his first set, but he cannot get over the mental hurdle of making it out of the 200s.

Six 25lb plates paired makes you look like Hercules. :eek:lol:
 
The fact that 25lbs by every player is prolly a little stretched out for media purposes.
How nice you are.
Weighing 175lbs and benching 300lbs is impressive imho.
Especially if you are a grrl.:p
Everyone that works out aims for 10 reps per set.
If you mean as in L.A. Fitness, usually since the 10-15 rep/set cycle is considered the max for hypertrophy.
So I would doubt that a guy that weighs in at 175 could actually rep out 300lbs 3 x10
Had several, mostly catchers and extraterrestrials. :crazy:
 
Hey, I remember a certain person telling me that genetics was THE major factor in how fast a person was...and not training. Well, I suppose all of our players magically got a mutation in their fast gene since McKeefery signed on.
