[QUOTE="olwig420, post: 277712, member: 2157"] I think, and hope, we might see some improvements to the injury situation with the addition to the new Strength & Conditioning Coordinator Mark Lovat. I don't know if any of you have seen or heard of the type of workouts he has them doing but I have. He is working to build raw strength like the type that farm boys have from working on the farm every day. The workouts also help build strength in all of your smaller supporting muscles and core which help to prevent injury, something traditional weight lifting can't do. Here is a little something MM said about him and the workouts. "We've always tried to improve every year just like any other part of our program." That includes within the weight room itself. New strength and conditioning coordinator Mark Lovat had a large cinder-block wall, measuring 10 feet high by 30 feet wide, added in the back of the weight room with anchors and other pulley junctions installed. Lovat said the wall will be used for multiple stations of medicine ball drills as well as bungee- and band-work, with some other larger equipment also available for the players in the Hutson Center, where they will train on the final day of each week. "There are some different apparatus down there that you can't use in the weight room," Lovat said. "We'll do sled work, a lot of competitive drills, tire flips, heavy rope training, that kind of stuff. "Dave Redding and myself are all about 'train like you play, train on your feet.' That's our whole idea. Whatever we do, wherever it takes place is going to have that as its driving force." [/QUOTE]
