[QUOTE="Heyjoe4, post: 1035287, member: 13032"] You raise a lot of interesting points Poker (and thx for the video, although it looked like Jacobs would have broken his back before straining his hamstring!). One at a time: 1) Working out in the offseason. Certainly these guys need to work out all year. It may not be as easy to see with the linemen because they carry so much weight, but these guys are all cut. The RBs, WRs, CBs, STs, and Ss and others probably run around 5-10% body fat. That only comes from working out, a lot, like every day, and eating right. By now, these guys should know when they're pushing a line. A torn pec, or any workout injury, comes almost always from being careless or sloppy with technique. Anyway, these injuries bother me more. Hell at 70, I'm in the gym 7 days a week and I've hurt myself the same way. Each time, I learn where my limits are. And a pec tear is probably a result of too much weight, too few reps. Arnold S perfected hypertrophy - basically much lighter weights and many more reps - to fail. It builds muscle without injury. But even Arnold got injured FWIW...... 2). Offseason fun. Hey these guys deserve a life, although some common sense helps. Dirt biking, crashing cars on freeways, that's just dumb. Then again, these guys are barely out of college - and it doesn't help that they have enough $$$ to do whatever they want. It's hard to coach maturity. Speaking of age, the body is a lot more forgiving at 25 than 70. Hopefully, all of them will be fine by camp. [/QUOTE]
