WHAT? NO MORE TIME ON THE JIGGLY BELT?

Ivan Maisel turns in a nifty piece on Michigan's discovery of modern conditioning, including the construction of a new million dollar weight room and the post-workout wonders chocolate milk consumption can achieve.

After two months under Barwis, here's what's going on: The Michigan players look and feel different. Mathews went from being able to touch his toes to putting his palms on the ground. He had to buy size 36 jeans to accommodate his thighs. His waist remains a 34.

"I need a new belt, too," he said. "…We could see our bodies adjusting. Everybody is taking their shirts off, wearing tight-sleeved shirts."

Hawt. And also likely bliss-inducing for those who complained endlessly about the Wolverine's antediluvian use of jiggly belts, chest expanders, wall-mounted pulleys, Charles Atlas manuals, and wooden dumbbells in their previous routine. Judging from the pics, that's all out on the curb with the old Nautilus rowing machines and Exercycles:


At last: Michigan gets a proper pain mill.

For comparison's sake, footage of Michigan's old training room under Mike Gittelson may be found here.

Jesus, can you guarantee me that I will meet the single christian that you have pictured (Not the single christian that is holding the cute little puppy but the single christian with big fucking tits wearing that tiny little wife beater) if I click on your add? I mean really, you are Jesus and I would think that you could make this happen for me. I know that you placed these adds for me to see because both add have girls that are blonde and being jesus you would know that I like blonds, blonds with big tits, yeah, thats what I like jesus.

I see that Christians get to join for free, what if I’m not a christian how will it cost to join, I think it would be unfair to charge me more than others just because I’m not 100% christian.

I have to go now jesus, it takes a long time to cut out all the eyes in the magazines and mother is having guests tonight.

Thank you O:

I now feel a little gayer having clicked on the link. I don’t know if it was the guys working out in speedos or the ONJ singing. Either way, I am surely now gayer than I was before. I can feel my genes morphing as I type this.

What this means, of course, is that the Wolverines will be 6-6 this year and 13-0 the next, beating the SEC champion to a pulp because they, too will have ESSSS

@ dogterd
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen her in porn.

And I’m saddened that no one made any jokes about squat thrusts and the lifting of large triangular weights. Do bloggers hate Family Guy? Is it because of the Peanut Butter Jelly Time bit?

Will – I call bullshit on your seeing the Christian join free girl in porn. We’re going to need to see links and pics for you to back up your claim. Please send them to my home email address.

Is that the Six or Seven Minute Workout?

by yoyofutbawl on Mar 17, 2008 2:55 PM EDT reply actions  

10 – I don’t think anyone connected to the Internet is allowed to admit they watch Family Guy, especially after the South Park episodes.

I don’t watch FG, but I have watched a couple of episodes of 2 and a Half Men on syndication, which has to be worse.

I blame ESPN for making SportsCenter less about sports and more about crap.

by Coop on Mar 17, 2008 3:12 PM EDT reply actions  

I like Family Guy, the “adult” web-site I go to has some candid video of them.

by dogterd on Mar 17, 2008 3:50 PM EDT reply actions  

Will @ 10. Maybe, but if so it was CHRISTIAN porn.

No sewer grates? They still train like pussies.

I watched more of that video than I care to admit. Is there some kind of punishment line I should now be standing in?

by NativeSon on Mar 17, 2008 5:20 PM EDT reply actions  

Now is this the workout that made steve slaton go from a 4.31 to a 4.51 in the forty. I guess that is awesome for the Big Ten.

It should be nice! With all the ‘self-directed’ study courses they need to keep eligible, they need a place to “study”. Day-planner ‘skillz’ are really useful in keeping track of your reps, you know. And taking ‘notz’ on when you need to but new jeans, wow, how did they get along before. Every day in every way, UM getting better and better, right, Jim Harbaugh.

@12: What the hell you gonna do in 6 minutes?! Seven’s the number! Like 7 little chipmunks sitting on a branch, eating all the sunflowers on my uncle’s ranch. You remember that old children’s song of the sea! Step into my office. Because you’re fuckin’ fired!
