Strength and Conditioning

To have a strength and conditioning program you need a good strength coach...Lamar? NOT!!

We have linebackers and other players that haven't gained a pound in 4 years. Our D-ends/Linebackers look like forwards on the basketball team. We are far from strong on the field. It starts in the weight room and all our guy wants to do is run them. Somebody tell him this is the football team and not track!!!!

I saw one of the kids from my church who is a walk on at ULL as a receiver. Been in the program for 1 year and I couldn't believe the muscle mass he has put on. Didn't get to talk with him about the ULL S&C program, but from my observation it is definately working. So, either those guys are doing something that is umm, umm, maybe not on the up and up, or our program is not putting on the muscle mass that is definately achievable!!! Big difference from what I see when I look at our kids and this young man!!!

At any level the teams that are at the top are the ones who are in the best shape. In the Super Bowl the commentators mentioned that the 49ers have the reputation for being the fittest team in the NFL and back to back years in the NFC championship game and a super bowl would seem to bear that out. This is a great thread and if the guys on the new Red Zone BRI radio show may want to address this topic. I think that the Cardinals failure to do more when there are other small schools that have had huge turnarounds in a shorter amount of time can be traced in large part to just this reason. Getting high school players to get to the next level of college sports has a lot to do with what happens in the gym or the training room and the track. Great post bossman73!

Don't intend to disagree that LU's S&C program should or could be better, but does anyone have any facts to back up the thread. I fully agree our players are not strong enough, but is that the S&C programs fault, the coaches fault or the players? Is this thread an outgrowth of KJ's reported comments on the program?

Does anyone have the training program for their athlete? Lamar athletes? If I am not mistaken, Lamar's training program differs for different positions. I know someone who is currently training at an Athletic Republic. I have seen very good results. I "think" I can get a hold of at least one of their programs. If someone can provide the training program for Lamar we can compare programs to see if actual differences exist and/or if maybe changes should be made to the Lamar Strength and conditioning program. If there is any interest in this let me know and I will see what I can find out.
