A small fraction of the work our team puts in.

 

[oldude]

From these short weight room excerpts one thing appears abundantly clear. Ayanna is a seriously strong young lady.

 

[Bone Dog]

He had that coming.

 

[eebmg]

Amazing that Dorka can do those lifts with the wrist

 

[EricLA]

Holy crap those young ladies work their asses off. One thing I noticed is that they are working a LOT with heavy weights - not lighter weights for more reps endurance, etc. but heavier (less reps) weights for strength etc. .

They will need to be pushing Boston away from a rebound

Who is the African-American athlete with the died blonde hair?

 

[Blakeon18]

I believe that is Amari.

Amari

 

[UConnCat]

Is all hair dead or just blond hair?

Yeah, I just dyed when I read that one !

It seems to me that Lou is really pushing herself to the limit. I am guessing she was not used to this level of training at Fairfield and needs to catchup in some sense.

I don’t know about Fairfield’s training program. But in one of the earlier UConn videos Lou was doing cleans with some serious weight on the bar.

So she met Geno in 2017 … that throws a new light on everything. And in the replies to the tweet a friend asks how tall she is — this is from 2017 — and she says “a solid 6’4”.

 

[Bigboote]

I noticed they didn't show Nika doing pullups. Probably she gave the stinkeye to the bar and melted it.

I was unsure whether she had the necessary upper body strength but she has obviously spent a lot of time in the gym. She can soar like an eagle and stuff. Can she be the next Dr J?

It is my understanding that Ayanna’s dad got her into the weight room at a relatively young age and she took to it like the proverbial duck to water…..a very, very strong duck.

Ummmm maybe that’s her hair

 

[Geew1992]

Def not a question u should ask

 

[socal613ws]

why didn't she try to get stronger her 1st 2 seasons? I feel as someone should have told her after the Arizona game to get stronger, she got pushed around a lot that game.

 

[AzzisBraids]

Keep Azzi out of the weight room please, we do not need UConn's best shooter anywhere near dumbbells after that gym injury where she dropped the dumbbell on her foot. She's still healing and it makes me nervous

posted last offseason the team needed to get stronger especially vs teams like South Carolina. Turns out Geno knew that too, South Carolina offseason workout videos looked super intense. One of the videos had the whole team carrying a huge rope and climbing steps looked pretty tiring. Can see why they had the stamina all season in a tough SEC.

I think she did get stronger but it's just a gradual process. Perhaps with her being a bit healthier this off season they can help bring her strength to another level. But that's the fascinating thing about the off season and player growth. Sometimes you do see big jumps in players, sometimes it's not noticable despite all the effort behind the scenes.
