Some Insight to Andrea Hudy's Training Methods

Brady’s TB12 plan incorporates diet, plyometrics and conditioning into a rigorous workout regimen that he does 4-5 days per week during the off-season, with the diet portion essentially a lifestyle choice year round.

The excercise portion includes about 40 minutes per day of resistance band work, in addition to squats, lunges and planks. In many ways TB12 is similar to the WADS that characterize CrossFit training.

Aparently his regime also includes regular visits to the Rental Car Agency to re-charge...:rolleyes:

Brady is incredibly dedicated and incredibly fit for his age. He also plays QB, a position that does not require the maximization of strength and muscle mass the same as the other 21 positions on a football field.

But to your point there are other means to maintain strength and conditioning without necessarily lifting weights. We can all remember how Steph transformed her body prior to her jr season at UConn through diet & P90x.

So let me rephrase my comment. Nowadays if you are a serious athlete, you have to train seriously or you are not a serious athlete. The days when pro football players spent more time at the bars than the gym are long gone.

I won't knit pick about all other positions, but my simple question prompted our agreement on serious athletes and training.

many interpretations. I tend to believe in pluralism , but
realize some "facts" / "values" / " beliefs" have more credibility.
Being somewhat a skeptic : I ask : Who is saying this?
How do they know?
and Who benefits?
It's a process. Make your own best decision based on what
you know, think, believe, value at any given time. If it does not
work out? = reboot and make an appropriate adjustment.

Often wonder what babe Ruth would have done if he wasn’t the life of the party. 1000 home runs? Might have had 4-5 more productive seasons

On the other hand, David Wells says he pitched his perfect game while still wasted from the night before. Wells also bought a hat worn by Babe Ruth and wore it in a game

I am reminded of Mickey Mantle's famous line, "If I knew I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself." Just about every male relative in Mantle's family died young. Mantle lived his life as if there was no tomorrow. He managed to live until he was 63 years old, but injuries and alcoholism eventually curtailed his baseball career and made his later years very difficult as he battled various ailments including liver cancer which ultimately took his life.

He had the perfect exercise regimen.

But he didn’t say that she’s doing it WITHOUT THE DAMN BRACE!!

Surely this should be on the biased ESPN ticker, right? Perhaps the video on Sports Center tonight? :rolleyes:

The video clip where Paige was doing pull-ups, she was braceless
 
I think the brace is intended to prevent her from over-extending her knee joint which caused the injury.
 
Damm. Never noticed Paige was sans brace as I kept watching her do pull-ups, which is hard for lots of folks.

I don't even see a scar? I guess it was arthroscopic??
 
Back in the dark ages, I did a lot of squats on two legs to build strength. I am fascinated with the more recent focus on “single-leg” squats, which we see most of the Huskies in this video doing some version of.

Trainers like Andrea Hudy are promoting single-leg squats based in large measure on the fact that much of what a player does in the game of basketball is on one leg or the other. Single-leg squats are excellent for not only building strength, but also promoting the development of stabilizer muscles, balance, flexibility and greatly reducing the potential for injury.

As I said earlier in this thread, it will take some time for UConn WBB to fully benefit from Andrea Hudy’s training methods. But that day is coming rapidly, and when it gets here, the Huskies will be able to match any team in the country when it comes to strength and conditioning.
 
sometimes these videos are posted months after the fact. I don’t think that video is current.

A little detective work is in order here. In the video, Christyn is pictured with her new hairstyle, something she didn’t show up with unti after returning to campus following winter break, which was also following Paige’s injury vs ND.

So unless UConn went to the trouble of splicing together a bunch of different videos of different players from different days, Paige is, in fact, recently pictured doing pull-ups without a knee brace.

This. Coupled with Azzi's boot being off and Aubrey being nowhere to be found, along with Mir, makes me think this is current.

Yao had the same injury as Paige, I believe had surgery, and was back playing in ten weeks. Piage had surgery 7 weeks ago. It seems fair that she could very well be without that knee brace.

good point about the Christyn hairstyle

Nice article on Andrea Hudy's training methods at UConn. I found several comments in the article very interesting. "Her evaluations of athletes no longer centered on the amount of weight an athlete could lift, or even how strong they were compared to others, but instead on how each athlete's force production - how fast someone lifts a barbell, at what point they hit fatigue - determined individual strength." When it comes to overworking and the risk of injury: "Hudy, informed by her own experience as a student-athlete, constantly tells players and especially underclassmen to take days off and limit extra reps to avoid injury risk.”

Does UCONN's training methods resemble CrossFit Training methods? If they do, then perhaps this is why UCONN is experiencing so many injuries. See below:

The short answer is no. CrossFit WADs (workout of the day) are essentially high intensity, competitive sequences of multiple excercises done as quickly as possible. Similar to circuit training, that type of workout can result in bad technique and injury.

Andrea Hudy’s workouts are far more focused, promoting flexibility and proper technique, while working through a full range of motion.
