Michael Johnson is Freakin HUGE!!!!

Curls aren't that important unless you are also doing isolated tricep development.

If so, then curls help keep the "pull" set of muscles in balance with the "push" set. While a significant imbalance is not likely to develop with your average gym rat, it is very possible at the level these guys train at.

But the earlier point about doing compound exercises is very valid. I would have assumed that doing rows or pullups or lat pulls would have addressed the balancing issue.

Looking at what MJ has been able to develop into, however, I'm not sure I have anything to offer advisewise.

He looks incredible, but it's important to remember that big != strong. I have a feeling that he is both and he's intimidating looking as hell, but the big = strong fallacy is a classic on that people fall into.

That is correct. Part of Wake Forest's recent success is that they have incorporated ballistic training into their regimen. The Deacons are not only strong but they don't wear out.

I consider ballistic training to be the state of the art for most athletes.

I hope he is still as fast. Watching him embarrass that Md lineman two years ago was a thing of beauty.
 
In defense of the curls, the AJC said that offense linemen was coming out of 2 hour weight training session. With 2 hours, I guess you have the luxury on building up every muscle.

Great, so they're over training and performing worthless exercises.

Did we actually keep the guy from previous years, because the video I remember had things like deadlifts and hang cleans in it?
 
This is one picture... geez.

I love how people want to throw out all this speculation (poor performance training/ weight-lifting/ etc) based on a single picture of Michael Johnson hold a curl bar with huge biceps.

Is it really that boring around here?

Agreed. It is what it is, and the guy is Huge.

I dont see any revisionist history here. No one is saying that Gailey did not give us close games. All Yukon was saying was that despite what many people in Georgia Country think about us having a new coach and having a "rebuilding year", we will still competitive on Thanksgiving weekend because PJ is a winner and he knows how to get teams motivated.

Check out these quotes...

No one ever said stuff like that about Chan and that's a fact. PJ is a different kind of competitor that knows how to win a rivalry game. So you would you please quit running around trying to defend his honor every time someone even insinuates something less than positive about him...

I know that in the "ole days" they used to wheel a keg of beer out on the field for their games and both teams would drink out of the same keg. It also used to be a Varsity Sport. There's a brief history of the program with some cool pictures and news paper articles for anyone who cares...

It was a varisty sport---in the 1920's! We were the re-start or lacrosse in 1970's as a club sport thanks primarily to one Bob Schack. We were pretty rag tag, but lots of fun. Played on Grant Field when it was synthetic turf ---crowds numbered in the dozens.
