Bo jackson never lifted weights

[crew9]

Those were stories from before they got to college. Once they were in school they were introduced to weight programs. It is still amazing that they never really lifted in high school and were as good as they were in college.

Being stronger does not make you any more athletic. Just stronger so it's not hard to imagine them excelling. Now combine strength with athleticism and watch out.

Bo Lifeted.

Walker used isometric body resistance instead of weights. He's workout regimine takes about 2 hrs a day to complete.

It's true, the #1 use of weight training in sports is to prevent injury, followed closely by weight gain.

Being able to squat 500# or Bench 350# does not make you a better football player. It makes you more resistant to injury.

It also raises your confidence, and as wel all know that counts for a lot too. But for the most part it does not make you more coordinated or faster or able to cut better, etc.

BO most certainly lifted weights.
where did you hear this nonsense?

No he didn't.

Just had Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker in my office, I showed them this thread.

Bo said " I lifted weights throughout my pro career"

Walker said " weights were never a part of my regiment , push ups, pull ups, sit ups, sprints " played a huge role in my career.


peace

I can assure you it made me a better player. I played at the collegiate level. When my legs became stronger, I became faster. I could knock down much bigger oppenents because of my strength. In high school, I didn't train legs and although a power, speed back, At the collegiate level all the guys are bigger. I gained much power from squats and was able to run through tackles that I otherwise would not have been albe to.

LL Cool J said he never lifted weights too. Give me a break.

That's nonsense. He works out in my gym when he's not on the road.

Bo Jackson had said at one point in time that when he used to watch TV, he would do pushups for as long as the commericials lasted, then switch to situps and alternate during each commercial break.

I actually tried this workout for a while. You'd be suprised how quickly the fatigue sets in.
