Chris Cooley Workout Part 2 of 4

[shutupx1000]

I don't know anything about weight lifting. Can someone explain how this doesn't destroy your back? With the squats I can see he is mostly using his legs, but the other exercise looks like it would just kill you. I'm sure I'm missing something.

[Hammer0man]

like a boss!

[turtleownage]

Dang i wish i could power clean that much weight, but for some reason i cant hardly do any weight like that =/

[NinjaLinebacker]

it looks as though he was taking it easy that day. i can squat 405 once but cant even get close to that power clean. he was bullshittin

[jakefatkidinterview]

lol some of these people think they have the knowledge to tell him what to do, but yet he is the one being paid a shit load of money to do it.

[stgabesbball31]

flawless power clean right there

[MrMuffins1000]

...its kinda suprised me how low the amount of weight he was using, but oh well hes a rlly good NFL TE so yeah lol

[toomanyscreennames]

he may not have the most weight room strength ever, but what he does have is functional strength. as well as speed. his muscles fire fast. moving the most amount of weight isnt necessarily proving anything in the case of an athlete (provided that sport is not powerlifting or olympic lifting)

[gonecontry]

i feel like that would hurt your wrists

[Sigmarian]

this guy is a beast

i dont care what these dumbasses say, i can only squat 220lbs!

but i am a 156lb 16 yr old

still, he's a beast

[aquaguy322]

I'd like to see the people on here saying this isn't alot, post a video in response of them doing more.

[SportsFeverr]

i get scared everytime he drops the bar im scared the weights might land on his feet lol

[sjm39]

This is a bit surprising. For a 250lb + tight end I expected him to be stronger. Then again most NFL strength coaches are pretty bad, so I guess Im not surprised. Kinda sad that there are girls on my college track team who squat more than that. 

O well, he is an pro football player and I am not so more power to him.

[skater970]

@sjm39 You know girls that can squat 405? Haha.

[RayMysteryo]

@sjm39 your a dumbass

[sjm39]

@RayMysteryo Why am I a dumbass? Because you have no clue what you are talking about? Because you have zero research or knowledge to base an opinion off of? All you can say is that I'm a dumbass. Well lets see you under a bar and see how strong you are. Id go against you in the weight room or in the classroom and bury you. Most coaches don't know what they're doing and thats why NFL players are always so banged up. Functional training? I think Chris is a good player, but hes not strong

[RayMysteryo]

@sjm39 wow didnt think you would reply to that seeing as it was 2 month ago. hmmm. wow i wasn't ready for this. lets see....your a dumbass

[ESPNlllTheOcho]

@RayMysteryo And you also don't know the proper rules of grammar. You just said "your" in the second person possesive form, when it's clear you meant it in the contraction form of "you're."

[RayMysteryo]

@ESPNlllTheOcho uhhh, who the fuck are you lol. this had nothing to do with grammar

[sampson7858]

he's very powerful dude , but what's up with the sleeveless polo ha

[BAouttaVA]

if madden rates his strength in the 70's i would probably at 4 if i'm lucky, lol

[TheItalian1294]

@BAouttaVA ya but he's competing with linemen in that aspect and they far outceed his strength and he's a freakin beast

[CHRISCAR101NYLS]

I am just now getting into powerlifting, and the effort cooley exhibits is the violent power that serves him best... How is his form on this lift?

[badboy672x]

I say people need to STFU, then talk when your a betetr football player then him. He is a pro ball player, his workouts are for quick refelxes and explosion, hence power cleans. he is doing reps for speed, he isint doing 1 rep maxes, he isint a power lifter

[GOTemNOtellin52]

WTF are yall saying?

You guys might max what he is repping right now, but this is just repping, EASILY.

these are just sets. THESE AREN'T HIS MAX. i max 405 lbs on squat but i can only do 3 reps.. im sure he can do 20 reps of 405.. there is a reason why he is in the nfl

[superhands9]

good music in the background

[myblackG35]

LOL, for anyone whos saying this isn't a lot, you've obviously never done any powerlifts bc this is a good amount and this isn't something the average guy in the gym can do. he's a FOOTBALL player not a BODYBUILDER, their goal isnt to lift the heaviest weight possible, their goal is to be strong, quick, flexible, quick reflex, and fast.

[DazedNConfused01]

U do realise that's not the goal of a bodybuilder either?

[swoledon111]

@myblackG35 should have said FOOTBALL player not a POWERLIFTER. bodybuilder's don't care about strength either. most of them lift laughable weights for their size.

[sconny09]

@myblackG35 Thank you for understanding this. People see someone who can squat and bench a lot and think they would be good at football. You have to be a great athlete to be good

[MrGirthwood]

Tony Scheffler owns antonio gates

[brushmymullet]

antonio gates owns this guy.

[ChazzyNazzy45]

if your definition of "owns" means getting injured every damn game, then yeah totally gates owns cooley.

[kohro]

why doesnt he squat when he cleans he just powers it up. thats not really doing anything for his lower body

[ballinintha704]

Because its to focus on exploding up and using your hips....he does squats after he cleans

[grambo22]

He is doing powercleans.

1) Where do you think the power to jump the barbell is coming from? Hint: hip extension (hamstrings/glutes)

2) Power clean is a more poweful movement than a clean (with full squat) as the bar is pulled higher

3) The technique for a full clean is harder to learn. This guy is an NFL player, the time is better spent on the field and learning olympic weightlifting (which I am a big fan of).

For a football player, his technique is alright, at least he can rack it!

[tugaa1234]

WOW!

[hubthestud]

Who are you to tell him what the fuck to do? He is a professional athlete.

[bodybuildersrcool]

shitty squat form

ok clean form

[onuplayer77]

his knee may track medially but when your athletic as chris cooley, his knees are probably strong enough where he can track at 500 if he wanted to, he is in the NFL, when he gets hurt you'll know about it

[WoWcheese]

he power cleans like its easy cheese

[Hawkboy77]

pffffffffttt... Javon Ringer can bench 420 as his max.

[sampson7858]

impressive , but get a diff shirt mannn haha liftin in a collar

[ZombieKumm]

405?

Holy shit...

[robbty18]

Strong dude. His knee does track medially when he squats though. Watch out MCL!!

[sexdebut]

why do you say fuck workout warriors? it totally demands on what position you're playing. the only positions where you don't need strength is kickers and punters, and maybe even some quarterbacks. working out is important so get your head out of your ass

[shafacakes]

HES A FOOTBALL PLAYER

fuck workout warriors, most of them in the nfl are busts anyway, bottom line is, if you dont have the talent you dont make it in teh nfl

[BartxXxman]

pretty strong guy, but yea id think he would have been even stronger considering how good he is

[sexdebut]

well you can say that, but chris cooley isn't good because of his strenght and blocking power, but because of his ability to run and catch.

[lx304xl]

he's one of the best blocking TE that there is!!! thats a fact ,and part of the reason he is soo good

[hornDog829]

and a great receiver too--a real football player!

[jesusthug]

I'm a Carolina fan and cant stand the skins.. but Cooley is one of the best TE in the game period!!! Anybody who says anything other is a fucking moron! To "brushmymullet" Gates Does not own Chris Cooley

[21redskins21]

hes not a strongman competitor you fuckin nimrod

[BartxXxman]

your the fucking nimord, go to any gym and you see ppl who can do this...i expected more from someone in the NFL at a position in which strength is held in a high reguard. that said, hes still strong and a great player

[melmoth927]

You guys saying he's not that strong are acting like he's maxing here but he's not. He's doing reps and supersetting, back and forth between squat and power clean probably with less rest time in between than the average gym guy who comes in to show his max three times a week.

[slyordie42]

haha those people at the gym aren't athletes though. Cooley could runner faster than those meatheads backward.

[BartxXxman]

i never said he wasnt fast or a good athlete. just not as powerful a weightlifter as i assumed he would be

[quicks29]

He just got finished running, before this training session.... Try out his routine, and you will understand what we mean

[SexSteakSoda]

@BartxXxman He's a TE, not a DT or OL. Moron. He still has to be quick and somewhat lean.. Powerlifters can't move fast.

[BartxXxman]

ummm last time i checked, all powerlifters have tons of fast twich muscle fibers. which equates to explosive quickness. check out vernon davis's weightlifting stats, and tell me he isnt fast or quick.

[kibbleznblitz]

all you youtube heroes do is talk about your one and only pride and joy which is supposedly being able to bench/squat/clean more than capt chaos. but at the end of the day, chris cooley is a pro bowl tight end in a winning team with a beautiful wife and a secured future

[Hawkboy77]

dude you a creepy dont talk about his wife.. your fuckin weird

[naptowncracker1]

All you trash talkers can suck on Chris Cooley's balls cause you aren't in the NFL, you're on the internet. No one gives a shit what you can lift.

[johnpoodle123]

everyone talks like thier hot shit

probs all mother fucking losers who wont get layed. ever.

[sirbooli]

dumbass will end his own career by dropping the weight on his foot

[shelbycrow]

chris is a fuckin beast. hes gunna make my fantasy team the shit. i love this guy. hate the skins..love this guy.

[Airburn]
