Recently Ashland has maxed out again. Any one have any results? Ive heard their are big numbers being put up by freshman an upperclassmen too.

I know that freshman Ryan Bonner, Evan Holbrook, and Josh Salisbury all made Power Club, which is 840 lbs. There were also many freshman who made the Strength Club which is 750 lbs.

Brad Workman, only a freshmen, benched 225 lbs, squatted 375 lbs, and cleaned 205 i believe. Blake Mcleod, a 5'8'' 165 lb RB benched 225 lbs, squatted 350 lbs, and cleaned 175 to get into the strength club as well.

I'll take Blake on my team...

 

Great kid, great family.

 

He's gonna be a dandy before it's over.

Congratulations!!! It sounds like we have some hard working young men.:thumb:

who is ashlands strongest man????

Sounds like ashlands definately doing some workouts!

My question--is any of this newly gained strength going to translate to success on the field? (Not trying to cause trouble--just being direct).

Well it certainly wont hurt. :thumb:

I'm confident that our Cats are getting stronger. From the great weight room and equipment that supporters provided to the excellent strength coaching and supervision by Tomcat coaches combined with the players dedication - we'll be improved this next season.

 

I have a related question .........

We see so many discussions of the combines that seemingly have sprouted up so much. Also, every level of recruiting from the NFL down seems to be putting more and more significance on those "measurables".

Primarily we see bench repetitions(185 for HS?), shuttle time, 40 time, standing jump? and what else???

 

Anyway, can someone tell me what speed & agility components we incorporate daily/weekly? Do we maxout similarly with "tests" or something?

 

Also whether we make the standard combine drills a part of our regular workouts? - especially since that seems to be something that recruiters, scouts, coaches, bloggers, BGP'ers, etc use for comparison to every other athlete competing on the same level.?

 

How bout it??? Anyone ??

Hey Woody, I know that Raceland incorporates a lot of this "combine" type stuff in their workouts. They change depending at what pont in the practice seasons that they are in (spring, summer, fall,etc.). From what I understand they do what is caled plyometrics, this concentrates mostly on the core area. They do of what is called "shuttle drills" and incorporate weight training in with it. Besides the usual weight program they do a lot of "dips, squats.etc." and the premise behind this is that strength comes from the core area. A lot of "explosive type" drills are worked in. A good friend of mine who's son recently signed with Campbellsville told me that he (the son) was recently contacted by Coach Deaton at CU and was sent a workout schedule that he wanted him to do for the summer. This program is almost all of these combine type drills concentrating on the core area also. A combination of weights, sprints,combine drills are included in the workout.

who is ashlands strongest man????

Michael Walters

Squat - didnt max out this time but his last max was 600lbs.

Bench - 335 lbs

Clean - didnt max out this time either but i believe it was in the 230 range last time

Also, congratulations to Andrew Dillon and Brian Salyers as the newest members to the Iron Cat club.

Should be a dandy one next year in Putnam Stadium when the Devils come to town can't wait for that one.
