Football “conditioning” idea!!!
Have players sprint as far as they can in 6 seconds (most will be between 45 and 55 yards) mark it, and see how many times they can repeat that effort without dropping 5 yards behind their first rep, 30 seconds rest!
@kyndal_turner
Bear crawls have absolutely no transfer to basketball. Stuff like this is why numbers in almost all sports are going down in some areas. You want player to build “toughness” and be conditioned, have them do things that actually relate to the sport they are playing no bear crawls.
@kyndal_turner
Like it actually baffles me. This isn’t soft, if someone signs up to play basketball they shouldn’t end up doing bear crawls. Sounds counterproductive to actually getting better at the sport. But we have a bunch of fake tough guys as coaches who don’t know how to actually coach.
All glory to God, without Him none of this would be possible. So damn proud to have been apart of this team, this program, & proud of everything we have accomplished. Forever proud to be a Wolverine, we played this game out of overflow, thank you everyone!

@GCC_Wolverines
Football coaches want to get guys to come out for the team?
Quit running workouts like boot camps & starting running them for outputs
Cut BW circuits, “conditioning”, & busy work
Add rest times between sets, jumps, & sprints!
Make thing COMPETITIVE!
Get turnout PLUS RESULTS!
Absolute thriller, thank you to all the friends, fans, and family for the support, felt like a home game when we ran out to a sea of red in the visiting section! Each of us needs all of us!
IT'S A WOLVERINE WINNERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

5 year ago today I took a visit to a small school 4 hours away that I barely heard of out in western PA on <5 hours of sleep.
Truth be told, I was up late at friends house the night before & thought about skipping…
Happy I didn’t, it was the BEST choice I ever made!
@GCC_FB
The culture of THE Grove City College football program has changed my life and outlook on everything, I wouldn't want to be playing football anywhere else, there truly is something special going on here, life lessons I will take with me forever and wherever I go.

8 years ago today you left us for a better place. I wish you could see how far I’ve came. I start my last year of my undergrad this year and all I can think about is how bad you wanted me to go to college. This degree is for you. Love you forever and think about you everyday❤️

You didn’t play mw2 at launch and it shows. Thing had more range and like 8 rounds in the chamber at least. Was disgusting
God is always good, and love from Him and love from other is always the solution to all things in life, even tragedy’s like those that have occurred this week. Thankful for all the love and support that I have seen in the last 2 days.

Are you white, did you grow up in a white household? How do you know, you’re stereotyping, you’re being racist. Not a single one of my white friends or me growing up wouldn’t be put through a wall for doing this.
It’s a true honor to receive this award, to be apart of this school, and to be apart of this football program. One more season with one vision in mind!🧱⚒️🧱
Grove City not being on any of these lists despite losing to the national champs by a point and returning at least 18/22 starter is about the worst college football take I have ever seen.
“Focus on your vision, not your circumstance”, a phrase I’ve heard thousands of times since enrolling at Grove City College. I think of my vision everyday and part of my vision is to do and act in a way that would make you proud. I love you forever mom, thank you for everything.
Things to START BEFOFE 2024 to get a jump start into the New Year
-Have a vision/set goals
-Go to church
-Read Bible daily
-8+ hours of sleep
-1 Gallon of water per day with salt
-Cut out processed foods
-Eat red meat and fish
-Morning sun light exposure
-Lift weights
-Hike
635 deadlift today at 242 lbs
In the last 6 months I have managed to lose 43lbs while maintaining or gaining strength in most of my lifts
This was done by losing about 2lbs a week consistently with planned cheat days/weeks to maintain muscle mass and keep metabolism high
Y’all want a little “Sunday Squat” for your evening views! This cat was only on campus for a few days and got after it in camp! Who will be the next big Freshman to bring the noise this year in camp? Love to see the kicker, and long snapper get hyped with the big dogs!
0-30 “Why are you going to practice?” “To compete for a PAC Championship”
“To glorify God in the pursuit of earning a degree, building lasting relationships, and competing for PAC Championships”
Live in vision! “Vision-Process-Love”
We are excited to continue building.
1 year of being less rotund and working to not be a stereotypical fat strength coach😭
About a 50lbs difference in these pictures, going into my last year of playing college football vs after full off season of coaching (285 vs 234)
@_OffensiveLine
Unwillingness to learn. Keeping things old school (still using shoots, ladders, teaching players to put all their weight on their hand, etc.). Too much end of practice conditioning that doesn’t transfer to the field but just breaks down your body and make recovering 10X harder.
@iGoble_
@kyndal_turner
Literally sports related for basketball could be sprints, laps, suicides, not something as dumb as bear crawls. Make them run if they are late but as long as it isnt hurting them as a player I don’t care.
5th week back lifting after having to do bodyweight training for 2 months. 455X10 (last two reps got clipped) after 375,400,425X8. Been extremely dialed in these last couple weeks.
Morning weight today at 245.8!
40 pounds down since the end of beginning of December (285)
90lbs down since my all time heaviest weight about 4 years ago (335😭)
Would like to lose another 40 more this year
10 years ago today my mother who was loved by so many people in her life passed away
She is one of my biggest “why’s” and inspires me everyday
Know your “why”, work relentless towards that why, and love everyone in your life because you never know when they might go❤️
Vision, process, love, 3 bricks we have that embody our program. We metaphor the love brick as the mortar that holds everything together, and no one holds this program together more than Larry and no one is more loved in this program either. Thank you for everything Larry.
When we talk about “Brick By Brick” and “Each of us needs all of us” we all think about Larry! Today we celebrate him and his 20+ years of service to Wolverine Football and Grove City College. As you enter retirement we wish you nothing but the best!
#Larrrrrrryyyyy
The place you pick to call home better have a vision. A blueprint on how they plan to develop you as a whole person.
I know we do! “To Glorify God in the pursuit of earning a degree, building lasting relationships, and competing for a PAC Championship”
Come Build!
Maybe instead of looking at height and weight coaches should maybe look at things like film, stats, grades, character, and work ethic? In the end I’m just happy and grateful I found a school that fits me great
@Tailoredfitatl
@CoachSamz
He’s probably about as good as any other center playing at that level, height is just extremely over valued at that position for some reason
This shows great strength and endurance so I’ll give that respect to the athlete but olympics lifts should almost NEVER be use to as an endurance test or be taken to failure. This creates bad movements patterns, risks injury, and does more harm than good.
Everyone who lifts has songs they only listen to during their heavy sets on main lifts and other songs they listen to during there accessory work right?

Athletes with “slow feet” that get “stuck in the mud” don’t need ladders/line drills
They need to
-Increase relative strength/force (Lift weights & improve body composition)
-Increase RFD (sprint, jump, lift weights fast)
-Increase their ability to react fast to other athletes
1.68 10 yard split this morning (laser timed/tied best at NFL combine for OL)
2.94 20 yard split
8’7” (103”) Broad jump (1.47X height)
280 lbs this week
Ready for camp next week!!!!!
Anytime you ever pulled a muscle it’s because you weren’t strong enough.
You were in a position you weren’t strong enough to handle the force applied onto you.
Weak things break, get strong.
Lost over 50 pounds since the beginning of 2020 (330+ down to 280). Here is a video of me today strict pressing 280X3. Very happy with this, all time PR.
Big thanks to our friend

Dline are a lot slipper with compression shirts, no way for o-line to really get leverage with their hands without pads, not a lot you can do again power rushes
Mental toughness in athletes is a vague term, what does it actually mean to be “tough”?
Tough is composed of 2 things
Discipline - are you going to do all the actions you dont want to do in order to achieve your goals?
Intent - are you putting full effort into those processes?
