If you think someone has a problem with you please take it to the Woodshed. Frost's entire MO is speed. It's evidenced by the types of players he's recruiting and the philosophies he discusses. He's not going to let players bulk up at the cost of their speed. Bingo, he wants maximum muscle as long as it doesnt impair athletic ability just like every other school. ;-) Quote Link to comment

You would be amazed at what one can accomplish when pushed to their physical limits while eatting proper macros and micros. Especially the initial muscle confusion that had to have occurred when their bodies were trying to adjust to Duvals system. Easiest time to put on muscle mass in your life is teens and early 20's. Higher testosterone levels etc. I think I might need to hit the Low-T Center myself. Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 So the mass they are building will obviously help them shed the bad weight later. It's not going to be instantaneous. However I posted this back when I did my recap of the coaches clinic in April. Khalil Mack was the example on how he came in weighing 219 and 15% BF, left the program at 265 and 7% BF. Don't get too worried about weight gain, considering I don't think Frost's philosophy is about Speed as much as it is about Playing fast and processing fast in the mind. He never said anything about making sure were slim enough to out run everyone. He wants to play physical football. He just wants to do it from the spread. Which is completely possible and some people tend to think that "physical" means Stanford....not even close. 1 Quote Link to comment

One of the most physical plays in the modern game is a bubble screen, something a lot of people consider finesse. Watch those teams that struggle defending it and then watch those that don't. The physical defenders that drive through the blocker are the ones that blow those up. They're just pure football plays; angles and leverage. Quote Link to comment

This was good information and helped us fans get an idea of what kind of team we will have and where they are bigger, stronger, faster, or not, etc. If the numbers are not 'good'' then it somewhat makes sense to keep them secret but again, no news is usually bad news'. I just feel that this year in particular, it would be nice to see how well the team is actually progressing in getting back in playing shape etc. I hear what you are saying and as a fan it would be nice to see this stuff - however don't you think opposing teams would also like to see this info handed to them. SF will do as Moriane has stated he will hold back everything that he can that gives us a winning advantage - without BP's attitude. Quote Link to comment
WyoHusker56 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I don't think these gains are totally out of the question with proper diet and strength work. Plus, my guess is these guys are carrying a bit extra bad weight that they'll she'd come fall. When you're trying to build as much muscle as possibe it's not uncommon to gain fat too. The goal however is to then shed that fat but retain the muscle. That'll be the goal come fall camp and based on the speed they run these offenses I bet guys will drop pounds quick.

Hunter94 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 exchanging 30 lbs.of fat for 30 lbs. of muscle, in 8-12 months or less would be quite a feat! my grade is based on how much guys get pushed around, conditioning and technique are going to determine the quality of line play.

Stumpy1 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 The gains/weight increases that are being made are consisted of both muscle and fat. It is pretty much impossible to put on 40 lbs of lean muscle in a year no matter how hard you train and follow strict eating habits. Quote Link to comment

However these kids are premium athletes with the best diet, recovery, training, and supplements both illegal and legal. 20ish pounds of solid muscle for some of them is doable. But for most, newby gains have worn off for them as most of them have been lifting since high school. Most of that is good weight. I care more about them reducing body fat percentages.
