Again @AlydarGreat work by the team. It's tough, when I see these videos I think of Paige talking about being in the weight room all the time and that Athletic article with Judy talking about her training regimen. I really hope this team is much healthier this season than last. Also I wonder if Caroline has to take it easy, as I don't typically see her in these vids.
I hope she is not doing that drill with her having hip surgery a short time ago.Great work by the team.

Don’t see Aubrey either.Great work by the team.

I just checked on the web the weight of the Barbell Bar ( separate piece ). ForRemember those end plate numbers for pounds do not add up to the
total weight .. you still have to add the weight of the bar! Nice workout, ladies!!
I believe there are discs on each end that lock the weight plates to the bar. That weight should be added (10 lbs x2?) to the total weightI just checked on the web the weight of the Barbell Bar ( separate piece ). For
a quality Bar the weight is either 15 kg = 33 pounds or 20 kg = 44 pounds.
So , since the plates that the team were using were designated "LBS" , the
weight that Nika was using in the first section was 35 x 2 + 44? = 114 lbs?
the weight that Lou Lopez was using ( or was it Azzi?) was 45 X 2 + 44 = 134 lbs?
and the weight that Yanna was "toying with" was 45 X 2 + 25 X 2 + 44 = 184 lbs?
I could not calculate the last Yanna lift because the added plate did not show the
"tonnage" clearly. I could not do that! P.S. Aaliyah's total was 114 in one scene.
Azzi and Lou Lopez appear to be strong! Of course, no scenes of Aubrey, Paige, or
Ines. Summary : some opponents should be thinking twice before "going to
the mat" with UCONN in a tag team contest. I'll team up with YANNA! Go Huskies!
Do you have any recent practice videos
No. Just the recent workout video. As soon as the next practice video is available, I will post it.Do you have any recent practice videos
I think they are calling it, officially: " physics 101."Not sure, can they call them drills?

RoadMaster just posted the latest practice video called “putting in the work”.No. Just the recent workout video. As soon as the next practice video is available, I will post it.


THAT is precisely why she's going to get lots of playing time this year. Every year Geno says to his players.........."Give me a reason to play you, or a reason to keep you on the bench." Lou is making her case NOW to play and be on the floor.Lou is a bucket!![]()

Yes, and she is practicing walking crane style.Lou is a bucket!![]()

Sorry about that glitch. So on its face we are clearly outside the 42 day window because the first regular season game is November 10 against Northeastern. Exhibition games don't count. So 42 days backwards from November 10 is September 30. It just didn't make sense because that doesn't look like team conditioning or strengthening activities but more like skill drills. So I looked back and found some discussion, that did not cite a specific rule, that the coaching staff is allowed 2-3 weeks of skill instruction prior to the beginning of the official practice date. Either that rule still applies, or basketball activities directed to endurance , even if skill in nature, are within the intendment of the above rule.Taken from the D1 manual effective August 1, 2022 - The entire D-1 manual

So how exactly is this legal before mid-October? I thought individual skills work was OK in September, but not coordinated team practices with the coaches present. What exactly is this?
