I cleaned up the poop as best I could but I'm more concerned about the blood coming from my ears. If nothing else, they'll be confused fast.

I think deservedly so. A bunch of UM alums, including some years out from the program, and some WVU guys are in Ann Arbor right now to train under Barwis and the new staff. Check out the pic in this pdf flyer for Barwis' spring S & C clinic: http://www.mgoblue.com/uploadedFiles/strength-clinic-2008.pdf Owen Schmitt, Marlin Jackson, Victor Hobson, Jamar Adams Yes, everybody is all over Barwis’ jock.

The thinking goes like this - if he could help make WVU (where the average recruiting class was relatively low-rated) speedy, powerful freaks, imagine what he could do with the Michigan (where the average recruiting class was relatively high-rated). Not sure I buy this line of thinking, but it is nice to hear the change in philosophy at Fort Schembechler...apparently the previous S&C coach had the linemen eating several pizzas a night to "bulk up."

We get some skinny weaklings and that guy, and within like 3/4 months I want to see respectable looking dudes who are out banging chicks left and right. I also agree that lifting weights is so boring, I yawn during it. Tough to follow the above comment, but that Barwis guy needs a Reality TV show.

Not to be confused with the Pan-American version I had from eating at Monterrey's. And by the way, I had an Olympic movement the other day after eating at Five Guys.

The fact that the sumos were only 2 feet apart and couldn't generate much velocity didn't matter. The 2 feet more meant they weren't getting to full acceleration. And to de-nerdify, go find the video of Rampage re-creating his powerbomb of Ricardo Arona on youtube. It's even sicker than his punch. (Actually Bas Rutten's punch and kick were obscene in comparison to what Rampage did and Bas is retired.)

All bumper plates have the same diameter but different thicknesses. On a side note I do cleans at my 24 hour fitness once a week or so. Those are definately not 45’s, way to thin, probably 10’s.

As a GT grad, you should also be able to conclude that force and velocity are VERY much related: Force = mass * acceleration acceleration = change in velocity with respect to time Thus-- F = m [INTEG(V*dV/Dt)] [/fellow engineering nerd] JacketDan @ #9…

That chick is obviously in...err...decent shape but still far too slender to be doing much more than 65 (maybe 85) with that kind of ease and form. I've seen 200 pound guys who aren't pure blubber have a harder time with comprable weight. Pretty impressive for her either way. Um, Orson,

So I'm not sure how much she's pulling there. It would be 135 Orson, but those look like Olympic Plates which are usually heavier and in in KG’s. So I’m not sure how much she’s pulling there.
