This Workout Effects My Night LifeMay 13, 2009 on 7:03 pm | In Strength Training | 6 CommentsCheck out this video from Stanford University. A few things I like about this program – quality core exercises, grip training, strongman, and atmosphere.
I have noticed that college programs are going to strongman workouts to end their week. Despite Stanford rocking what looks to be an extremely small tire for college athletes, their heart seems to be in the right place. I do not like the limited range of motion on their squats, so I am hoping that is just an occasional variation. Also, I’m not sure if I’m down for nicknames like “P-Diddy” for strength coaches, but it seems to work for them!

Joe,
I am a guy trying to get into the business as a strength coach, and I am pretty sure that I could come up with a better program than P. Diddy there. Does that tire even qualify as a strongman tire? I think I have seen bigger tires on a riding lawn mower. Is that video for real? People really get paid money at a major university and don’t have any more sense than that? That is disheartening.

The session was ok. Ramping up the intensity and weight would help. Then again, who knows how hard they trained the day before. As it relates to basketball it’s ok.
Check this link out if you have a chance. Nice video of Wyoming Wrestling offseason training. This is my idea of how it should be done.

Josh,
I know you have been around the site for awhile. I’ve posted up a lot of pro and college training videos, many of them are extremely lacking.
I think that Stanford is at least on the right track, just not as aptly applied as I would like.
JR. Checked it out. Good team atmosphere, doing some good lifts as well.

That was a great video on the Wyoming program. It looked like night and day. Wyoming looked liked a hardcore program. Impressive.
Joe, why does it take so long do you think for major college programs to catch onto training styles that produce such great results? You would think they would be at the front of the pack when it comes to training.

Josh, Great question. Many (not all) of college strength coaches have a lot of classroom experience. This stuff, strongmand, etc, is not included in much university literature, therefore it isn’t used as much.
For example, most training certs teach proper oly form and some add powerlifting form. It is rare to find it in a book, mostly has to be learned from others and under the bar experience. Just a guess though!
I do know some strength coaches that are great as well, tough to find though!

Joe,
Good point. You brought up another question in my mind. Is there any texts out there that you have read that you found helpful in your progession as a coach?
