Notre Dame 2012 Summer Training Thread

[FightingIrishLover7]

I just saw this video posted and thought of sharing. It's just a 'teaser' but I figured its something. And I don't know about you guys, but I've been craving any sort of updates.

Also, I figured I'd go ahead and just make a thread for all the summer workouts to save space on the front page.

Here it is. Featuring Watt, Lewis-Moore, and Niklas.

At least 455, dont know what the chains weigh.

 

[OchoShayneO]

lol, reps!

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Intensity.

 

[ClausentoTate]

Jesus that was intense. Troy looks small compared to Watt/KLM, now THAT says something. Chains that I've seen are typically 30-60lbs on each side. That would mean 405 plus the chains is closer to 450+. They are going past the parallel for sure.

yeah now that is how u squat! that is what kills me when i see some of these kid's squat #'s in highschool....i know they arn't going to parallel or below...and those boys were down below...that was (8)45lb plates + 45lb bar + (2) est 40lb chains =485lbs

 

[beryirish]

^^omg that immediately took me back to HS on one kid that sttacckkedd the bar with weight and went down 3 inches and acted all badass about it...man I just wanted to slap him

A guy did that in college a few years ago... He was notorious in the gym for staying on a bench press or squat rack for 30 minutes. The guy was about 6'1" 140 lbs (gives you an idea of how skinny this guy is) and he put on 225lbs on bench and 315lbs on squat. On bench, his elbows flinched and that was a rep, on squat, his knees flinched and that was a rep.

Glad to see Troy lifting, however, I wonder if Troy was lifting the same as an OL stud and DL stud. I believe Watt had a 25lb on as well, so that is 50lbs more than what you guys are talking about.

There is also a 25lb plate on each side, kind of hard to see but they're there. So it's around 535.

Seriously, if I was a running back and Manti was coming at me, I'd hand him the ball and run crying back to the locker room. Also, Everett looks like he's built some good muscle.

 

[Emcee77]

I'm scared of Kona. He was making that stuff look easy.

 

[STLDomer]

Manti scares me.....

Does anyone else bench with that type of equipment, looks harder than a classic bench press

 

[PerthDomer]

Golson looks jacked... not the twig he was when he enrolled!

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

My lord Manti... wow.

Also, GA3 is looking good. He's still lean, but he's put on good muscle. Looks like he's gonna be running both around and through defenders. Should be a great year for him.

 

[gmnysdad]

Manti is definantly scary, but I would run and hide from Kona. That guy looks great

 

[Irishman77]

Was hoping for some shembo.

I think you are talking about the close grip bar. I have never used one but I would think it's the same thing as putting your hands closer together on a normal bench press bar. That would be working just triceps

 

[ChiefSecond]

I'm really glad to see golson looking more solid and strong.

My biggest concern with him last year was that he was just too small to play the position. When I saw the guy on campus he appeared to be 6'0" (generously) and 175 (generously).
This goes a long way in helping him endure the game at this level.

So, and now?

205lbs?
