Husker in WI Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Riley sure doesn't look 340, but if he's close I think it's safe to say he's a NT and not an End. Quote Link to comment

Decked Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 That triple by Mosai was pretty ugly. Head down and not extended would probably create a more stable spot for the bar. Quote Link to comment

84HuskerLaw Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I am not a serious lifter at all though I did some weight training decades ago. I wonder what advantage is there to these “free” squats or other lifts generally vs a machine with built in safety features ? It seems must more dangerous to me? Machines cost but still spotters etc cost and injuries are very expensive too. Quote Link to comment

Machines cost but still spotters etc cost and injuries are very expensive too. I don’t feel like going down a crazy rabbit hole but let’s just say that training on your feet is much more of a carryover to increased athletic performance, reduces injury, and stimulates more muscular fibers that cannot be recreated with a machine. This is why we do the the squat, the press, the deadlift (hip hinge), the row, etc. natural planes of motion trained from the floor. Again, so much more I can dive into. They are also not bodybuilders & are not trying to stimulate individual muscle groups near as often through single joint isolation movements. They care about the unit as a whole. 3 2 Quote Link to comment
southernoregonhusker Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Building on the last post...there are secondary muscles that aren't engaged when using a machine versus non-machines. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks. Appreciate the info. I understand there should be benefits to both (free lifting and the controlled/focused of machines). I was wondering about the safety, balance, etc. I might have guessed something like the extra big weight lifts with a machine vs perhaps lesser amounts with free lifts. What little I know would be with pros/cons of lots of reps with less weights vs a few reps with big weight. Maybe they do few reps / heavier to increase strength as opposed to lots of reps to fatigue for bulking up. I also suppose they are not body building for show - but looking for short bursts of big power for football benefit. Of course conditioning is also a goal. Again thanks for the imput. Just curious really. Need something to ponder these football-less days. Quote Link to comment
