“This is the best football weight room in America,” said Bill Gillespie, head strength and conditioning coach. “

I am hearing some of the results from the "new" weight room. These are some of the results from the testing at the end of the off season wt. program, being conducted before spring break, and before spring ball.
Best Power Clean: 380 lbs.
Best Bench(single unassisted max) 510 lbs.
Most Bench Reps at 225: 36x. (record in the NFL 43, I think)

Marcus Ausberry, transfer from UVA is reported to have stated that he could not believe how many 400+ benchers were on this team.

Also heard the guys passed on a planned players lounge so they could have more weight training equipment.

Great Job Guys, Coach Gillespie, and Investors in the Wt. Room!

[PAmedic]

I'd like to point out that I threw up 150 lbs on Sunday.

once.

[bigsmooth]

i was speaking to michael connolly's dad and he said our weight room was better than any of the schools they visited including VT. that is pretty impressive!!

[jcmanson]

Yes very impressive indeed. I like the quote from Ausberry.

[TDDance234]

Good get, Smoothie. Adds some perspective on why he chose us over schools like, VT.

[bigsmooth]

Marshal, his first name is Marshal

Jeese, way to be anal about his name.

Hi guys,

Glad to have to opportunity to chat with the folks who'll be cheering for my son Mike and the rest of the players over the next several years. I told Mike about one of the replies where Marcus Ausberry stated that he could not believe how many 400+ benchers were on the team. Mike said his goal is to join that club by the end of his freshman year. Currently he's at 340 pounds, but if anybody can help him get to the 400 pound level, it's Coach Gillespie. He's awesome! I'll be carpooling to the games with Spencer Hodges' dad Ross; we're looking forward to tailgating with everyone next fall.

Welcome to the board and thanks for joining the LU family. Where excited to see what is in store for your son on the mountain.

Jeese, maybe I won't sign your forms any more

Paul Connolly

You've "supplied" the player, we'll supply you with food at the games. It's the least we can do.

As for you, um, I'm sorry?

welcome to the board. can't wait to see your son and the rest of the team play in the fall.

[madmat]

sorry about the name screw up.

And pardon my paternal indulgence-

[SuperJon]

madmat, what'd you feed him? Good God that made me tired watching it.

Our tailback is benching 395. Holy crap.

[madmat]

Must be some of that post game leftover tailgate food from the fall. Funny thing is, that eating wisely is part of the Bill's plan for the guys.

[BJWilliams]

If you look at Rashad's video he puts that 395 up like its nothing...

[TallyW]

Thanks BJ

[Cider Jim]

Do the weights really have the LU logo stamped on them?

[bozlady]

The apparatuses have a metal plate (you can see them in the pictures on page one of this topic). The head cushion I believe is a large label type sticker with a plastic covering.

[PAmedic]

of course, there's THIS

[SuperJon]

Of course you put up Greiser. Have they got a restraining order out on you yet?
