The big thing is just the you know you also see guys you know, touch your chairs. Well, touch your chairs kind of up and down and you kind of stand up like a vertical jump and you'll see late explosion and mid ribs get in. Techniques kind of up and down based on the how much we've been squatting things and then just kind of. This soon guys compete get off the grass because they can't give a __ a canon and as a team mates get out off a little bit and they could compete. So, you know the big things . There's this ons all the way out started from a hanging position,from up chin all over the bar. It would try and get give and use a retro __, the big guys are always given a hard time so we have hanging for 30 seconds. If you can't then once you get the port you cant doing more port to get of hanging for the rest of time. So, they are not you know, getting out totally they'll move in. I don't know, today we used a trap bar. No more reproaching, it was straightened bar a bit further since we did something __today, __a little back. Make sure you have a flat back, chest up, eyes up, and not bulky you know around the back and make sure you come all away up extended hips, extended torso all away to that account. We got to touch the floor. You know guys who want overhand like a chopping wood, busted wood up, but you know, in that day they're tried to use me __ and tried to shorten the stroke down. Obviously when were doing in our training, were gonna give a good full extension at the top and get fall through it but as soon as the guys are finished and pick the hammer up you know, for 30 seconds its pretty difficult and as you see the guys. It's kind of its more of a metal thing today than it was taking the day, kind a lot of technical day. So you guys push through it, and will not give up is a big thing also.

And its just a great way to increase the blood flow to the body and the area that were gonna be working in a very functional manner. Usually, two to four wraps at 40 to 50 yards, you know, it depends on the time of the day. Its early morning, were gonna maybe do four, six wraps just coz theyre not awake, but that fluctuates.

 | LSU TIGERS COACH TOM MORFITT: THE HANG CLEAN EXERCISE Posted by: StackFootball Duration: 2:33 Number of views: 63,566 Tom Morfitt, the head strength and conditioning coach for Louisiana State University (LSU) Tigers football team, teaches the Hang Clean. ""The most important aspect of Hang Cleans is how we lift it off the floor. And I dont know if you noticed today, but we have our guys when were doing Hang Cleans were gonna do a clean pool to get in the power position. So thats the first coaching point, is how we lift it off the floor. We do not want our football players bending over and picking their way up like that, you know, near limit weight. That makes no sense at all. All right, the key and then once we get the ball here to the power position if were doing Hang Cleans from above the knee, okay, in the power position, then I should be in this position here with my wrist curl, the bar at the top third of my thigh, but it will both rotate it out to the side and my shoulders over the ball. From this position now, there is some pre-stretch, the guys can rock a little bit, then go down. And from this position here theyre going to jump shrug in pool and generate that force to get the bar to travel in the air. I mean they simply drop underneath it and meet their elbows up. And I dont have great flexibility here in my wrist and triceps either, but this is another very important position here coz too many guys, they rock the bar with their elbows down and they rock it on their chest. You cant lift heavy weights like that. Youll miss a lot of your heavy power cleans and stuff if youre not properly rocking that bar here in the throat, this whole top of the clavicle, between the Adams apple and the clavicles where that bars supposed to go. But flexibility in your own--my triceps and depending on my arm length, theres a couple of factors that determine how high that bar goes. But thats what were looking for. We want to make sure that when we explode, we generate enough speed to get the ball to go up so that we can quickly drop on anything. Then you take, you know, best time acceleration, gives us our power. Thats why its so important that the bar goes fast also coz were generating watts.""

And its changed from in the past. Through college, I think, you train a little more so during the winter and the summers to prepare to play football as compared to time those numbers. So its been a little different this year, but thats kind of the process that you have to go through. I had always kind of lifted weights and done some of the ring in high school and, you know, was into it and worked hard at it, but I dont think I really saw the importance of how that can affect your game, how it can improve your play on the field until I got to college. And, you know, I worked with some great strength and conditioning coaches at BC, Todd Rights, my first four years, and Jason Lascalco, my last year at BC, and those guys taught me a lot about weight lifting, conditioning in terms of running mechanics, all that kind of stuff and how it can improve your game and how it can improve your performance on the field.

The most important aspect of squatting is heavy squats. You got to calculate an attitude that you want to have before squatting. I tell our players all the time, especially squatting heavy, because if I'm not mentally or emotionally into it then it doesn't matter how much weight is on the bar, I'm not going to do well at it. So, first is the mental aspect of it, and then the next step that's very important is the set-up. We want our guys to have not a really wide grip, we feel like if I have a tghter closer grip then my upper body, my traps and my shoulders are going to have a better base to put the bar on. The next thing is when our guys take the wight off the rack, I only want them steping back two steps, one step with the right, and one with the left.
