@Banter17101992 blue = 20kg yellow = 15kg green =10kg big guys were squatting around low 500 -although all the squats were 'high'- and most of the guys were benching around 315 but with bounce and butts coming off bench. UCLA needs a lot of help to bring their program up to usc level. They have a great basketball and track programs so they can recruit good athletes but they need work for the football team.
Watching hot guys lift weights is hot...but seeing the coach behind them when they bend because of the weight...now thats bad :D but still, theyre hot!
@the4halves you gain muscle when you do your full workout, a max attempt isnt meant to help you gain muscle, its just how you find out what your top performance weight is for one rep, its not meant to be a workout
why dont you just have them do a 1 rep max, your true max is howmuch you can do 1 time, thats why its called MAXIMUM, do you see olympic weightlifters or power lifters going to 3 reps?
@the4halves thats not true you can still gain muscle doing very low reps if the loads are very heavy, as long as your taxing the muscle you'll gain some mass. Although for optimum mass gains 8-12 rep range is ideal focusing on perfect form and muscle contraction instead of using power to move the weights like they were doing in these videos. Yet power training in low rep is important to develop power also.
@ThatDunneKid190 i would imagine and this is just what i think maybe they do a 3 rep max to reduce the chance of injury's and blow outs... and in football there going for explosive power and endurance.. but i really imagine it to avoid injury cause that chance of getting hurt does go up with the one rep max.. but hey weight lifting in general is a risk..
@ThatDunneKid190 3 rep max means max you can do for 3 which is generally a better indicator of 'power' then pure strength. They are football team so their form and standards are not to pro lifter standards as there goals are not to lift most weights but really just to be better athletes to perform better on the field.
@lburdeos464 Not a single squat in the video was to depth, neglecting strength development for the posterior chain through the full range of motion; not to mention the fact that it can't be a rep max if none of the reps are completed. Arm-pulling and split landing on the power clean without setting the back is unsafe and does not train maximal power development, which is the point of power cleaning (not just more weight for one's ego). The hip-thrust, assisted benching was a nice touch, too.
@lburdeos464 I didn't "fail to fathom or comprehend" anything, actually. I explained to you why it was poor lifiting. It's not surprising to see big "squat" numbers when one simply isn't squatting. Reaching proper depth optimizes the benefit between maximal load and training through the greatest range of motion which is why a 455 lbs squat to depth is far more meaningful than a 600 lbs partial. The medical and orthopedic facts are derived from anatomy and physiology, especially specificity.
@aguenias "Poor" apparently to you is relative! If your anatomy is so perfect and supreme then why are you not employed as orthopedist, trainer, strength coach. You should refrain from bizarre, improbable and shackled synaptic dribble. GO BRUINS!!!! You need illumination
@lburdeos464 Poor lifting is not relative at all, how did you infer that from my response? I never said that my anatomy was "perfect." What is a "perfect" anatomy, anyway? You don't know my employment, nor is it germane to the discussion. I'm not sure what the Bruins have to do with anything, but then again, you think it's "bizarre" that people should lift correctly. Please provide this "illumination" if I so desperately need it; you haven't stated your position to me at all so far.
@aguenias I am cognizant of "proper" vs. "poor" lifting. You have a pious disposition re: lifting. Your opining re: "poor" lifting is indicative of your acute unawareness of body position. Your employment is pertinent-the dubious explanations demand the basis-for your assessments!
Again, what is your pedantry?
To iterate-your discombobulated assessment of "poor" lifting lacks credence
You are an iniquity to the UCLA football team!
Despite your castigation the UCLA Football team is 4-4.
@lburdeos464 I gave you the basis of my assessment; I'm not being pious. It stems from critical thinking and even an elementary understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the hard and soft tissues involved. The fact that you can't understand that is not my problem. I'm hardly engaging in iniquity; in fact, enforcing proper lifting form may very well improve athletic performance and decrease injuries. Their season record is inconsequential and it's quite telling that you think it is.
@aguenias Your feigned sapience is evident- The football team despite your level of petrified and arcane
dumfoundedness is prepared for football success. You need to peruse the lexicon-you have been steadfast in refusing to accept physical -strength training. You are not only dull and insensate but an object rock of
@lburdeos464 You don't seem to understand what a logical fallacy is. That the football team is doing well, does not mean that they would not do better (and with a lower likelihood of injury) were they lifting correctly. My sapience is not in question here, I've given reasonable justification for my position: inadequate activation of the posterior chain during a partial rep means an inferior adaptation, and the potential for imbalance across the knee joint. You've only attempted to insult.
@aguenias Excuse me-but your denigration of the UCLA Bruins football strength program is a disgrace. My direct and SAPIENT inference is that are a failed and frustrated athlete or trainer or loser in athletic endeavors-
Besides the FOOTBALL TEAM is 4-2 in Pac -12 conference and is 5-4 overall.
So, this "posterior chain" jabberwocky is just that gibberish!
@lburdeos464 Haha, "posterior chain jabberwocky." Wow... "There are two kinds of fools: those who can't change their opinions and those who won't." - Henry Shaw. You have offered nothing other than logical fallacies and erroneous inferences laced with poor attempts at ad hominen attacks. Until you can offer something intelligible, I have nothing more to say.
@lburdeos464 Just for your edification, your last sentence is disjointed. You continue to insult without presenting a concrete thought or argument. It's amusing that you consider this to even resemble a valid position. I'm also confused why you think I don't wish the team well by suggesting that they lift more effectively and safely. But, alas, you have demonstrated an inability to grasp the fine art of reasoned discussion yet again; perhaps YouTube is not the place to find such a thing.
@lburdeos464 Just so you know, having a "fancy" vocabulary, no matter how pretty the words are, doesn't help your argument. It only makes you look like a pretentious douchebag whose trying too hard.
"My direct and sapient inference is that are a failed and frustrated athlete or trainer or loser in athletic endeavors."
Seriously, what the fuck are you trying to say? It sounds so awkward and unorganized. Work on basic syntax before using those "big" words. They're clearly out of your grasp.
Tendons and ligaments are only at 30% maximal tension at 100% maximal muscle tension!!! Squatting below parallel and leading with the hips are ESSENTIAL to the squat. The hamstring will not fully engage until at or below parallel which aid in the effort of securing the femur from sliding in front of a sheering the patela, meniscus, etc. Plus going to maximal depth increases the range of motion of the exercise building way more strength then quater squats!
If you could call that a power clean! Absolutely terrible. Consult the weightlifting community next time maybe? Not one high level coach I know would ever test a 3rm olympic lift!! Coming from a coach like me who is experienced in programming and biomechanics this is another example of athletes finding success in spite of their coaches not because of them!!!
@worldwidewinter What exact or dynamic qualifications do you embody to castigate a strength coach at a football university like UCLA?
My reasonable inference is that you appear to be jealous or at least frustrated at the strength program.
Your punctilious and contumacious criticism and/or examination of college athletes appears to be undeserved and unwarranted. Besides the football team has one victory and commences PAC 12 play on 9-24-2011
@lburdeos464 A MAXIMAL BACK SQUAT IS LIMITED BY THE CORE!! AT MAXIMAL LOADS THE LOWER BACK WILL STOP TRANSFERRING FORCE FROM THE LEGS AND HIPS TO THE BAR!! Seach "death to the back squat mike boyle" on youtube and LEARN SOMETHING. disagreeing with me about this topic is to say that 3 of the best coaches in the industry along with an myself nsca, strength and conditioning specialist who lives and breathes this information knows less that you!!!! thats invincible ignorance at its best.
And the power clean is a test of POWER not maximal strength(im not saying the "power" in "power clean" refers to this however it's actually the depth of reception of the bar) some athletes i know are extremely strong but couldn't translate that strength in the olympics lifts at first because of lack of power development, mobility, nuero-muscular coordination, flexibility and early technique limitations...
How is lying on a bench functional to football in any way smart guy? Strength should be built and tested standing because that is where it will be used. Strict press maybe??
It makes me sick to watch athletes get their "lower body strength" tested with quarter squats with horrible form with an exercise which is limited by the core musculature, not leg and hip limited, with a 3rm??? What!?!?
and to think that defying the correct biomechanics of the squat for that specificity is insanity! The coach should be fired for the terrible squat coaching and power clean coaching.
and to think that defying the correct biomechanics of the squat for that specificity is insanity! The coach should be fired for the terrible squat coaching and power clean coaching. It makes me sick to watch athletes get their lower body strength tested with quarter squats with horrible form with an exercise which is limited by the core musculature, not leg and hip limited, with a 3rm??? I cannot even Conceive in my wildest imagination why the coach think that is the best showing of strength
First and foremost- a squat has to be lowest depth the athlete can reach, the person arguing that these people are squatting to above parallel because it's a similar position to a tackle is a fucking idiot! Strength training is never supposed to be specific to the target activity, the back squat builds general Total body- not leg strength through muscle recruitment at heavy loads! Read a book! Mark rippatoe, jc santana, etc,
@worldwidewinter I think you miscomprehend football and such proficiency talents as tackling.
Let me apprise you of college football games-observe the method of tackling-high to low. Observe the blocking, too
In addition, let me dissent, the "squat" can be a quarter, half or "full." The football team, the lineman, linebackers, running backs, kickers, punters, have specific requirements for their position. the squat,in contrast to your defamatory comments develops hips-thighs-not upper body
@lburdeos464 if you knew even one single thing about training you would know that strength training is meant to be GENERAL. let me quote one of the best S&C coaches mark rippatoe "so the concept of specificity has its limitations, while training should be relevant to the goal at hand in terms of selecting exercises that develop the muscles/movements used in the sport, it is neither necessary nor desirable to exactly mimic either a sport skill or the exact metabolic demands in the weight room...
@worldwidewinter Your commentary-which is unwarranted, unsubstantiated and without an tangible merit- is again castigating the wonderful strength program at UCLA-Let me APPRISE YOU-the UCLA Bruin football team is 2-2 and is at the peak not nadir-your observations belie your feigned cognizance-of the PAC-12. This Mark Rippatoe- who does he coach-youth or some non-existent team?
Again, you raise worthless, anecdotal and frayed facts.
@lburdeos464 MARK RIPPATOE IS ONE OF THE BEST COACHES IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES!! HE HAS WRITTEN TWO OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS AND STRENGTH TRAINING AND HAS MORE EXPERIENCE TRAINING ATHLETES THAN ANY OF THESE FOOTBALL COACHES!! HOW CAN YOU THINK YOU KNOW MORE THAN HIM!!?!?!? HOW!!!!!!!
If Rippatoe is the standard for hyperplasia/hyperthrophy then the explcation that he is not employed at any of the PAC-12 schools, SEC, BIG 10 colleges is patent. Further, Rippatoe is not even employable -No NFL team has Rippatoe on their staff.
Influential? in this galaxy? Maybe he receives a paycheck from the chimerical reality-your world not mine.
Emphatically, the UCLA Football team is UNDEFEATED-THANKS TO thew development-not Rippatoes or yours!
@lburdeos464 HYPERPLASIA? HYPERTROPHY? you dont even know what these words mean and they have NOTHING to do with anything we have been talking about!! hyperplasia? you mean the concept of increases cell numbers?? you mean the concept that Phil Gollnick and Ben Timson proved to contribute to a zero net increase in muscle mass? wow FASCINATING!!! NICE! you are so witty! you still haven't addressed anything i have ask you to!
@lburdeos464 Mark rippatoe was one the of the first on the board of the National Strength and Conditioning Association and is a senior USA weightlifting coach, Official Crossfit strength and barbell advisor, USA Track and Field Level One Coach, previous powerlifter and owner of one of the most prolific strength and conditioning gyms in the country in Wichita Falls,Texas and the author of Starting Strength and Practical Programming two of the best selling and highly regarded books of their kind
@worldwidewinter Rippatoe is not hired NOR retained by any PAC-12 or Big 10 or SEC school. YOU stated he WAS-so contemporary strength coaches disdain his "erudtion."
Those books are perused by who?
Importantly, the UCLA football team is winning.
This Rippatoe is not a "expert" nor has he trained an NFL football player either.
He still is mythical.
He coaches USA weight lifters -now the justification is patent:-why USA weightlifters lose-Rippatoe
@lburdeos464 you are hopeless. ive decided you are a 15 year old with a thesaurus addiction. ill tell you this, i care immensely about what i do and am educated through college and 3 outside certifications, years of experience training regular people and athlete's, i own a 50,000 dollar library of books and dvds and have worked closely with professional athletes and been personally coached by multiple high level coaches.
@worldwidewinter Outstanding and thank you for your compliment. Not only am not a prepubescent-but a sapiential individual who recognizes that erudition is indispensable to fathoming the "strength and conditioning" insights of contemporary lifting. Yes, I am an adherent to the "treasure trove."
Interesting, you maintain that I never addressed your concerns-wrong I have repeatedly done so.
I am not incurable; perhaps you and I advocate on differing methods which results in pellucid facts
@lburdeos464 i subscribe the national strength and conditioning journal monthly and follow the works of the most successful coaches in and out of the united states. louis simmons in the strength adviser for 20+ NFL teams and is a partner of mark rippatoes. i have put in the work through experience and education to be able to say that no, a quarter squat is not safe for any application period. Louis simmons would never ever recommend quarter squatting, ive read his entire book of methods.
@lburdeos464 so for you to sit at your computer and argue what i know is basic information about human anatomy with me even though you have absolutely no knowledge of the topic (clearly) or experience coaching or even lifting weights competitively or otherwise and cannot reference one coach who believe in your line of thought and can explain it using any bio-mechanics, is both disrespectful and sad. i wish you the best of luck.
@lburdeos464 Mark rippatoe isnt the only coach who believes strength isnt trained through sports specific movements..EVERY COACH with a brain does!! even this coach does! thats why hes using bench press, completely not specific to any motion in football(especially considering the kinetic chain of ALL upper body movements in athletics start from the ground) but a decent STRENGTH building exercise.so why is he using the bench press if he is tailoring his squats to mimic tackling and blocking then?
If Rippatoe is the standard for hyperplasia/hyperthrophy then the explcation that he is not employed at any of the PAC-12 schools, SEC, BIG 10 colleges is patent. Further, Rippatoe is not even employable -No NFL team has Rippatoe on their staff.

@lburdeos464 are you a licensed trainer or coach?? so what makes you think you know about ANYTHING that is going on besides staring at this video and liking the team??? please tell me?! id like to see one counter argument explaining why you believe its important to limit the range of motion of a maximal back squat and how the legs and hips are the limiting factor, and why a 3rm is accurate for maximal strength testing? i dont want any fancy words unless they are based in anatomy and physiology!
@lburdeos464 "Again, you raise worthless, anecdotal and frayed facts" so when you said this you were referring to my discussing of the biomechanics and anatomy of high bar squats by a licensed strength coach and the reference of three of the top coaches out there right now, DIRECT quotes and video sources?? DUDE. you cannot even begin to back up anything you are saying!! you cant defend using anatomy and physiological knowledge, you cant quote or reference any high level coaches to back you up!
"strength is developed by exercises that use LOTS OF JOINTS and LOTS OF MUSCLES, moving lots of weight over a LONG RANGE OF MOTION... Fundamental strength exercises like the squat, press, deadlift, bench press along with the power exercises like the clean and snatch, always form a basis of any S&C program that is actually useful to an athlete..this is true precisely because these exercises are quite non-specific- they develop useful strength and power that can be applied to any athletic context"
Jim Wendler S&C coach,"Nothing is worse than walking into a Division I weight room and seeing a bunch of great athletes 1/4 squatting.The weight is too heavy for the athletes MID-SECTION!!!, their knees begin to buckle in and the potential for injury is a high as the coaches IQ is low.What a disgrace to the profession and how embarrassing for the administration and the coaches.How could they be so reckless and hire this coach?it’s a shame for the athletes who are being exposed to such non-sense
@rey5600 You lack the fundamental understanding of a "squat" First, recognize that in a football game -no football player "squats" he is in a kneeling-ready to strike and contact his opponent-with a block or a tackle! Secondly, you either seemingly have no direct or indirect knowledge of weight training or strength training or that there are position papers on "squating" Third a down lineman is not "squating" either, neither are the wide outs or safeties. Fourth, be more punctilious of football

my school did the same weird shit we only went to a 90 degree angle with our squats but we had to do 3 reps for our max. and that one clean was so ugly. No one teaches proper clean form at almost an college.
Awesome gym and some very strong athletes there. To my great surprise, the power cleans in this video aren't as bad as in many other football S&C videos (though there is still a lot of lateral splitting with the legs, catching the bar on your wrists and just muscling the bar up). However why are all those "record" squats so high? The guy at 5:00 is just barely bending his knees a bit, in no way is that a squat.
@eizeman When you say bounce bench r you tlking about letting the bar hit your chest. If you r then u can deffinately bounce bench wtf r u tlking about
@xXxDaTruDyNastyxXX Actually as a power-lifter you cannot bounce the bar of your chest. your ass can not leave the bench, your feet must remain on the floor. If you bounce the bar you are not using muscle but you are cheating yourself out of reps. Many people are ignorant on how to lift properly.
@xXxDaTruDyNastyxXX As everyone already knows...bounce bench is when the lifter drops the weight down onto to their chest with enough speed to bounce the bar off their chest, using momentum rather than strength to press more weight than they can by touching or pausing the bar on their chest. At heavier weights (500+ lbs) bouncing is hard to do, but the UCLA football team is benching light weight incorporated with a bounce off the chest to add a few pounds to their maximum bench press.
@matjusm1 The squats are so high because, unfortunately, many coaches are either ignorant to proper form and believe misconceptions and wive's tales about squatting that were cleared up decades ago, or they just care more about bragging about their athletes' numbers in the weight room than their actual form.
As an Alum I love UCLA but am not proud of the football team. This video explains why UCLA loses football games. You should be embarrassed to display such light weights in half squats, cleans and bounce-bench as team records. I'm an old guy and can lift more than any of the records displayed in this video (with full squat and no bounce in the bench). Time to layoff the old wives tales about "stretched ligaments" as an excuse for not hitting parallel squats, do real work and start winning games.
@eizeman So much truth in this statement. But I bet you're going to end up like the other dude who posted something similar to this, with tons of hate replies from UCLA fans who refuse to believe that their team could do anything wrong.
@eizeman Correction: the football team is 1-2 . Maybe you should limit your boasting- "can lift more than any of the records." If you can lift, be excessive in your accomplishments, not denigate or slander the athletes in their
not suppose to touch person or bar when maxing....also teach your frikin players some form OMG...i play for an NAIA school and we all have better form than you
Weightlifting form is sub par though. Squats are high, and powercleans are standard "football cleans".
Not picture perfect like Olympic weightlifters do.
Yeah they are football players, and not weightlifters, but maybe it's just difficult to teach good form to a large group of people, and these coaches give up on cleaning up their form?
I can tell by most of the Jack Assess making comments they have never picked up a F'ing weight in their life. I will be waiting for your video of you lifting and to see if you made it to D1. I will not be holding my breath!
Making a mockery of barbell lifting. Is it too much to ask for a few things from college football weight rooms.
Squatting is below parallel otherwise its a curtsey.
If your spotters are bicep curling the same bar your are pressing then it doesn't count.
If you have to do the 'ol star jump reverse curl clean with scramble foot recovery then maybe you should take some weight off the bar and learn how to clean effciently
@DarthLampe theyre not helping them lift the weight, theyre there as a safety precaution cuz if hes squatting a lot of weight and he cant bring it bacck up he could collapse and all tht weight would fall on him
@Lamborghini274 Either your dumb or just blind or just don't know anything about football however, the plates are about an inch away from the safety bar on the squat rack, nice try and if your name is named after a car, it really looks like you don't know what your talking about.
I notice I see only around 25 guys out of a team of 85 scholarship players. That right ucla has great athlete so they don't have to workout. Signed Jackie Robinson.
milton knox got mad alright, he got so mad he left the program. I guess he forgot to flip his switch so he just switched teams. He must have not bought into the program unlike my dumb ass who has supported this abortion of a football program with my time, energy, and yes that most important thing of all my money for longer than I care to admit.
Here something to keep in mind 3 of the players featured setting strength records are walk-ons. In fact Madison Pool isn't even listed on the offical roster anymore. Lowell Rose transfered to Tulsa can't say i blame him wanting to get away from this turd of a football program. And you mean to tell me walk-on Jeff Dickmon is out hustling hester, viney and the rest of the boys. What arethey to busy smoking that chron and playing x-box to show up for workout.
@16dakota paralell squat or "olympic squat" is just that. its ment for the pros not football players. goin paralell on excess of 225lbs streches the ligements an tendons in the knee...the exact oppisite of what a football player wants
Are they going low enough on their squats? I want to know so i can trsnafer it into my training, I have noticed a lot of controversy in exactly what depth to squat it.
@MrClayton90 no they arent...but most football players dont go low enough when they are just trying to max and throw the weight around, you should go to parallel, no lowere because its badf on your knees, and no higher because then it only works your butt and lower quads
@brendonbob actually, squatting below parallel is fine as long as you keep good form. If you don't bounce off your knees at the bottom of the lift or let your knees come in, it's totally fine for your knees. As long as you're hitting parallel though, you're good, and going any deeper is really personal preference.
Coach Linn seems to have a great program working---He has the respect and attention of his atheletes and is creating a new Bruin culture based on achievement and success. Well done Coach!

@lburdeos464 I didn't "fail to fathom or comprehend" anything, actually. I explained to you why it was poor lifiting. It's not surprising to see big "squat" numbers when one simply isn't squatting. Reaching proper depth optimizes the benefit between maximal load and training through the greatest range of motion which is why a 455 lbs squat to depth is far more meaningful than a 600 lbs partial. The medical and orthopedic facts are derived from anatomy and physiology, especially specificity.

@lburdeos464 I gave you the basis of my assessment; I'm not being pious. It stems from critical thinking and even an elementary understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the hard and soft tissues involved. The fact that you can't understand that is not my problem. I'm hardly engaging in iniquity; in fact, enforcing proper lifting form may very well improve athletic performance and decrease injuries. Their season record is inconsequential and it's quite telling that you think it is.

@aguenias Your feigned sapience is evident- The football team despite your level of petrified and arcane
dumfoundedness is prepared for football success. You need to peruse the lexicon-you have been steadfast in refusing to accept physical -strength training. You are not only dull and insensate but an object rock of

@lburdeos464 You don't seem to understand what a logical fallacy is. That the football team is doing well, does not mean that they would not do better (and with a lower likelihood of injury) were they lifting correctly. My sapience is not in question here, I've given reasonable justification for my position: inadequate activation of the posterior chain during a partial rep means an inferior adaptation, and the potential for imbalance across the knee joint. You've only attempted to insult.

@aguenias Excuse me-but your denigration of the UCLA Bruins football strength program is a disgrace. My direct and SAPIENT inference is that are a failed and frustrated athlete or trainer or loser in athletic endeavors-

Tendons and ligaments are only at 30% maximal tension at 100% maximal muscle tension!!! Squatting below parallel and leading with the hips are ESSENTIAL to the squat. The hamstring will not fully engage until at or below parallel which aid in the effort of securing the femur from sliding in front of a sheering the patela, meniscus, etc. Plus going to maximal depth increases the range of motion of the exercise building way more strength then quater squats!

And the power clean is a test of POWER not maximal strength(im not saying the "power" in "power clean" refers to this however it's actually the depth of reception of the bar) some athletes i know are extremely strong but couldn't translate that strength in the olympics lifts at first because of lack of power development, mobility, nuero-muscular coordination, flexibility and early technique limitations...

First and foremost- a squat has to be lowest depth the athlete can reach, the person arguing that these people are squatting to above parallel because it's a similar position to a tackle is a fucking idiot! Strength training is never supposed to be specific to the target activity, the back squat builds general Total body- not leg strength through muscle recruitment at heavy loads! Read a book! Mark rippatoe, jc santana, etc,
worldwidewinter 4 months ago
@worldwidewinter I think you miscomprehend football and such proficiency talents as tackling.
Let me apprise you of college football games-observe the method of tackling-high to low. Observe the blocking, too
In addition, let me dissent, the "squat" can be a quarter, half or "full." The football team, the lineman, linebackers, running backs, kickers, punters, have specific requirements for their position. the squat,in contrast to your defamatory comments develops hips-thighs-not upper body
lburdeos464 4 months ago
@lburdeos464 if you knew even one single thing about training you would know that strength training is meant to be GENERAL. let me quote one of the best S&C coaches mark rippatoe "so the concept of specificity has its limitations, while training should be relevant to the goal at hand in terms of selecting exercises that develop the muscles/movements used in the sport, it is neither necessary nor desirable to exactly mimic either a sport skill or the exact metabolic demands in the weight room...

@lburdeos464 Mark rippatoe isnt the only coach who believes strength isnt trained through sports specific movements..EVERY COACH with a brain does!! even this coach does! thats why hes using bench press, completely not specific to any motion in football(especially considering the kinetic chain of ALL upper body movements in athletics start from the ground) but a decent STRENGTH building exercise.so why is he using the bench press if he is tailoring his squats to mimic tackling and blocking then?

"strength is developed by exercises that use LOTS OF JOINTS and LOTS OF MUSCLES, moving lots of weight over a LONG RANGE OF MOTION... Fundamental strength exercises like the squat, press, deadlift, bench press along with the power exercises like the clean and snatch, always form a basis of any S&C program that is actually useful to an athlete..this is true precisely because these exercises are quite non-specific- they develop useful strength and power that can be applied to any athletic context"

Squatting does not have to be to parallell-The lineman or running back is not below parallel when blocking.
Tackling is low with driving the hips and legs into and driving the opponent to the ground!!
The base for a football is low hip combined with hip and leg drive!! Shoulder- strength-bench pressing-including incline benching is a big benefit
The power clean works sheer power! Excellent for football

However why are all those "record" squats so high? The guy at 5:00 is just barely bending his knees a bit, in no way is that a squat.

@xXxDaTruDyNastyxXX Actually as a power-lifter you cannot bounce the bar of your chest. your ass can not leave the bench, your feet must remain on the floor. If you bounce the bar you are not using muscle but you are cheating yourself out of reps. Many people are ignorant on how to lift properly.
thetank5252 8 months ago
@xXxDaTruDyNastyxXX As everyone already knows...bounce bench is when the lifter drops the weight down onto to their chest with enough speed to bounce the bar off their chest, using momentum rather than strength to press more weight than they can by touching or pausing the bar on their chest. At heavier weights (500+ lbs) bouncing is hard to do, but the UCLA football team is benching light weight incorporated with a bounce off the chest to add a few pounds to their maximum bench press.
eizeman 8 months ago

@ThisMoJoisBased what are you talking about? the caption on the video said 'back press' when it's a 'back squat'.
i'm uksca certified and i've been training with weights for 6 years so i've had quite a lot of instruction in the gym.
