For all the flack I’ve seen, I was pleasantly surprised by how good Wilson’s form was on squats and he was cranking out pull-ups.

Carlton didn't look 260 or 265. What do you guys think?

Sorry but of all those lifts, Sid’s form on the front squats would be the farthest from “good”. AFAIK you don’t want to engage joint-by-joint the way he slightly bends his knees before the descent. You want a single, fluid, coordinated movement

Maybe it’s some idiosyncratic thing they’ve taught him to engage his glutes and “grab the ground with his feet” so to speak to help with stability, but again, the worst form in the video. I mean you can watch Josh right next to him demonstrating much better form.

Looking at CV’s arms and just the team as a whole. Idc what anyone says, they’re stronger than they were

 

[intlzncster]

Whaley looks a bit thicker.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Sid does look more defined, maybe just has the body type where adding weight is super difficult, i’m not sure.

Yeah, CV has some nice pecks. Glad he is going out all superman his last year.

So did we get the green and yellow weights from UOregon?

 

[UofCT]

Can they shoot threes?

 

[Kenny11]

Where's big pork chop?? probably in the back banging out heavy bench press sets and devouring protein.

Adams is an animal, Cole is right there. They look good it's nice to see some hard work.

Josh maybe 6'9,250 looks solid. Whaley bigger everywhere legs look thicker too very important shoulders bigger. Hope he can bring that improvement to the court too could be big for us in many situations.

Polley and Sid too. Many of these guys have that thin shoulder width tough to make look a ton bigger but if people are getting stronger everywhere it helps no doubt, they don't have to look like every guy on other teams to compete. They will be coached better than most too.

As Chief predicted, Sal is feeling the heat and doing some face saving PR for his program. Good for him.

Wilson's squat form is fine, he's simply initiating early and slowly descending to increase muscle time under tension. It's a technique a lot of lifters use as an accessory to make a lift harder, like spoto press with a bench press, then when it's done with regular form it's easier and more weight can be done. Also, I would imagine there are variations in lifts between guards, wings, and big men. Not all going to be doing the same lifts each day.

Pull-ups are easy when you weigh 150

He's only been there for just over a year chief. Unless he's pumping them full of roids, I don't see what else you want for a bunch of guys who started as string beans.

I'm not sure that's what he's doing with that weird movement at the beginning, it looks like he's mostly loading his knees. You can make the eccentric portion of the lift as long as you want without that initial movement. I've seen pulse squats, pauses, whatever, but I'm not sure what the beneficial effect of that first movement is. It's certainly not needed to increase time under tension.

face saving PR? He's been posting these videos since he started here.

Just go with it.

That's josh at Dematha. He's totally changed his physique and is going to make a lot of money because of it. Really impressive stuff.

Whaley gained that 25lbs or so from freshman year too. That will help him A LOT in his back up role.

Tyler Polley & Dima Zdor Lead Sagemont Over Coral Springs High To Wrap Up The Preseason!!

Beginning of Polley's senior year of hs. Polley is Polley. He'll never be huge, but he's definitely gotten wayyy stronger than when he first got here. I can definitely believe he went from 185 freshman year to 200 now. I wasn't so sure the roster was right at first.

Guards all look tough. Adams is a tank.

Sid looks no different.

It’s not Chief, he has to convince.

There isn't much he can do other than have them eating like bodybuilders and lifting heavy weights. The makeup of our team is skinny and not very strong, it is what it is.

Everyone, including myself, keeps referring to our skinny team. I feel like it's a bit of fake news. Excluding freshman, who is skinny at this point? Sid and Akok. I guess you could throw Polley in there because he's got that weird tweener skillset, but we need him to play the 4.

I wouldn't call Gilbert, Vital, Adams or RJ skinny at all. Carlton certainly isn't, and Whaley if he's actually 220+ isn't really any more. Springs isn't skinny, just kind of doughy.

Compare us to other teams, we're pretty tiny.

 

[Cuse Socks]

Carlton's working out in boxers lol

haha
