re: LSU Squat Numbers

i watched all videos posted, its important not to split hairs here, everyones body is different.

moffitt's squat instruction is legit, and seems to me to be much safer and controlled movement than that scrub that was bouncing in and out of the hole.

even though i dont squat exactly like moffitt instructs, the guy knows what he is talking about.

btw, i squat 405+ at 190 lbs...

So mike fords number isn't impressive 583 he only weights 205

1) who said those #'s were maxes?
2) I'm very confident that your little 190 frame pushing up 405 occurs, it might take 5 seconds, some grunting, and some death metal music playing
3) Tommy Moffitt posting those #'s didn't even insuinate it was a max........they may be doing explosive sets of 5............they may be maxes who knows?

But to argue that the #'s aren't impressive, Tommy Moffitt doesn't know what he is doing, or that we are weak and underconditioned in the 4th quarter is RIDICULOUS.

I bet you that 583 lbs comes up quickly and with authority.........Tommy Moffitt could give 2 shits about how much weight you can squat.......He wants to see it done in regards to how it will help you on the field.

Anyone who squats will tell you 583 pounds is an impressive amount of weight to move.

That isn't that impressive to me. I've regularly seen guys at the gym moving 500+ at around 200lbs body weight.

This thread is full fricking fail. Anyone that square any lower then moffit suggest is out with a acl or mcl for at least a year.

You should 100% not be allowed to spill such BS.

Max weight is also training slow twitch fibers which is not what you want for the explosion and speed required for football. You want fast twitch idiot.

There are probably a handful of people in BR that can train at a 600 pound squat.

i didnt say that, but after spending enough time in a weight room, thats what it appears to be for the day.

eh, pretty safe to say those may have been maxes for the day. and maxing out every now and then is just fun to do, i think thats what they probably worked up to that day.

anyone that doesnt realize our players are trained for functional strength and not to have some insane max, are just plain stupid.


who cares some some douche at your gym squats? he probably doesnt have an athletic bone in his body

I have no idea but seeing how our defense fades late in the game I would venture to say not enough

I was taking about your gym buddies. I don't know the guys you're referring too but if they're like some of the power lifters I've encounterd then endurance is not their forte.

Its unfair to compare an athlete doing cross training with a power lifter.
