Highly motivated Evina powering through rehab, Anna's nuitrion regimen reconfiguring her body, and now Christyn going all She-Hulk on us... there just HAS TO BE a season for this group to harvest the fruits of their labors!!

Seems pretty obvious but... being stronger and fitter helps in any sport. Christyn is a rebounder and finisher around the hoop, definitely skills that are enhanced by strength. We are only seeing a glimpse of the weight training part of her routine. Presumably she'd be working on her dribbling and shooting skills also because she's a passionate hooper and IT'S THE FUN PART. In general, I'd rather see pictures of my players getting buff in the weight room over the summer than see them slamming burgers at a beach party. If nothing else, it exhibits dedication to the goal of getting better every day.

Just in case a brawl develops!

Muffet has retired so there shouldn't be any reason for brawling in the UConn games.

How soon we forget! Do the names Megan Walker and Crystal Dangerfield ring a bell?

 

[psconn]

Christyn could be a for-real "and-one" machine. She was already a really good finisher, but try to knock her off her line now... roadkill.

For anyone who may not be aware. Christyn is deadlifting 300+ lbs in the photo, a very impressive amount for a young lady.

I don't weigh 300 pounds, but I dead-lifted by body off the bed this morning, so I feel pretty good about that too! LOL...

Power! Explosiveness! Remember the KML shrug of Tiffany back in the day? Christyn is practicing to shrug two people of that size.

AND no UCF.

I think I saw a machine like that in a Space Odyssey movie.

You mean Monster Meg and Guns Dangerfield?

Eric, try sliding your left foot off the bed and onto the floor, then bring your right foot over. Get someone to pull you upward and to the left. It works for me every time.

Msgret, I hope you don't have any dreams including Leprechauns tonight.

Sonny, see LCConn fan's post.

Looks to me like two 45-pound plates, four 25s, and two 10s, which would be 255 if that's a 45-pound hex bar.

She reminds me of a running back, with all that muscle!

You can never tell..........she could run onto the court from the grandstand.

Upper body strength enables her to finish at the rim through contact. A player with a weaker upper body will get thrown off rhythm and be unable to finish when receiving contact.
