Winter conditioning pics please. Have we started yet?

THAT'S one of the reasons we were who we were. NO reason THIS has gone backwards.I want to see some squat videos, jumping on boxes, cleans...and big guns!
They are a little stricter on steroids these days.
Here is my report. I worked a High School Powerlifting meet this past weekend. I help with the clean but watched a HS kid squat 610 in the heavy division. I was impressed although I know that is about half of what most on this board can do.

I can tell you that here in Texas they start kids out young in Powerlifting and what I'd call extreme conditioning... The work my boy puts in as a 7th grader is unbelievable. They've also teamed up with a company for off season conditioning that really builds these kids... Granted, I know this happens in other schools as well, I've just never witnessed anything like this on this level before...
Not at all. We just had our old Lawyer/AD cripple us with policies, we are back to injecting with the rest of them.
And with that are they pushing supplements? When I was an administrator I would open the building to lift and shoot baskets. Better than the streets even in the small towns. The thing I didn't like, probably because I know so little about them, were the supplements. I would see a kid (dad was the coach for one year under me) walk down the hall with his powder.

I’m sure the 4 that got caught were the only ones doing it.
Most supplements are pretty safe for high school kids. The question is whether they actually do anything that proper nutrition can't.
There's a 15 year old Chinese kid somewhere that can probably squat around that same weight at half the size. Hell look at Rondale Moore...came in as a true freshman squatting 600 at 180 pounds. The internet has really helped a lot of people unlock their potential when it comes to weight training.
I'm sure they might have things a little more figured out, but several years ago I asked about weight lifting for jr high age kids I was told it wasn't a good idea. Ok to teach them proper technique but not to be going for a lot of weight because their bodies were growing and changing and could lead to injuries.
I took the their word for it. A couple of days later it hit me. How would that have gone over if I would have tried to pull that with my dad about hauling bales and carrying 4, 5 gallon buckets of feed at a time or lifting hedge posts to build fence......

He must not be working hard enough because he definitely doesn’t look homeless.
Ok, most guys neglect the lower body though. Is Mo getting strong enough to break more tackles?He must not be working hard enough because he definitely doesn’t look homeless.
I'm sure Duval's program properly addresses lower body strength.
Right. In case you missed the thousand tweets of guys doing squats.
The right kind of weird though.
And they will agree...dudes had roommates stick needles in their butts...they weren't hiding it. I'm sure all the big schools did it but we MAY have done it better, more consistently, or just more. The # of players we had who had anger issues was pretty astounding.
Boyd Epley was famous in body building circles before he ever became a strength coach. Dude is a mad scientist when it comes to using gear.
Yeah, I would guess the conversation went something like this..
M. Washington: "Hey coach, I really don't need to work on my lower body, so I'm just going to focus on all upper-body lifts."
Duval: "OK, if you think you don't need any work on your lower body, I'm on board. Sounds like a great plan. Off you go."
That conversation is believable if it happened under Riley, sad to say.
Yeah, I don't think Duval would be the type of guy to agree to any player not wanting to do anything other than total body development, hence my sarcasm with my previous post.
