Proud of my dad. He’s the most resilient guy I know. Diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer 4 years ago, beat it. Brain cancer 2 years ago, and just had successful brain surgery this week.

- Don’t wanna confuse causation vs correlation, but when you have 3 RBs who can split squat over 365 with excellent speed & technique, it’s fun to see what kind of angles they can hit on the field quickly and effectively
- Friday night my dad, best friend, and hero passed away after a 4 year fight with cancer. He was the toughest SOB I’ve ever met, lived life to the fullest, took pride in everything he did, & made a positive impact on so many people! He will be dearly missed, but never forgotten!
- My amazing wife & I got to meet our little boy Henry earlier today! We couldn’t be more excited!
- Plenty of 330 lb athletes can back squat 500-600 lbs, but haven’t witnessed many who could rep out 80lbs of added resistance on skater squats. SL transfers to DL, the opposite isn’t usually true. @tristen_cox67 showing some excellent strength & ROM here
00:00 - Things that actually develop mental toughness ✅ High standards & expectations ✅ Maximal Intent ✅ Consistency in performance ✅ Task specific focus ✅Growth mindset Things people like to think do ❎ MAT Drills ❎ Military training ❎ 110’s, Gassers, & 300’sGut checks, crazy hard workouts, & team building exercises are usually associated with developing mental toughness. In The Manual, Vol. 4 @pfaffSC shares strategies that are a bit outside of that norm to improve that sought after quality. Get yours here: cvasps.com/cvasps-manual-…
- 6’6 athletes squatting to depth is cool, sure is a lot cooler when the bar is actually loaded up Current leader of our off-season team competition @ArthurNwandu taking 410 for a ride
00:00 - Another day, another freak show performance from @caleb_ogunmola 44.9 on the jump pad, 4 total jumps today, all 44+
00:00 - Upper Body Day 2: Emphasis- Block destruction & contact prep
00:00 - Breaking: All bowl games canceled due to half of every roster having asymptomatic meniscus tears, slap tears, and disk herniations
- When the forecast is 70° in North Carolina & your daughter wants snow for Christmas, you get it done
- 325 lb athlete SL squatting 50lbs > back squatting 500lbs For reference he's still strong bilaterally (600+ Trap Bar DL)- SL carries over to DL far more than the opposite. @tristen_cox67 displaying some great relative strength & ROM
00:00 - Accel day on field = weight room emphasis of ROM & heavier weights Bars were flying this morning with @ElonFootball
00:00 - Lineman Spotlight: Z press, push press, sumo DL, reverse lunge, SA bear catch, front squat Strength on a SL, strength OH, hips to hands violence. strength & mobility from a wide foot position, & heavy front rack work. A few of many key items that stay in our lineman training
