Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4804233, member: 11664"] Not to blame anyone, but look at how C. Williams blew out her knee soon after arriving in her WNBA training camp after being drafted. And she was a player who was shown lifting extremely heavy weights in a UConn video. Compare what happened to her to a player like Olivia Nelson Odada who barely ever missed a game who you know never lifted the kind of weights that C. Williams did. IMO just because a person has developed the muscles to lift super heavy weights doesn't mean that the rest of their body can handle all of the extra strain. I don't know if there's any science that limits how much weight that a person should lift on a regular basis without compromising other parts of the body that is put under strain to lift all of that weight. Just because a person can do it doesn't mean that a person should do it. The professionals can't even manage to define a concussion so how can professionals be relied on to determine how much weight to too much weight? We still don't know how some players have become injured in the UConn program whether it happened during practice or in the weight training room. I'm not pointing any fingers at anyone because in the end each player is responsible for whatever they do, & they can do things improperly & beyond what's recommended. We also don't know what types of drug substances that players are taking including caffine which is the drug of choice for many college athletes. If they overdo it then that's on them. [/QUOTE]
