Hey, those could be from the game a couple of years ago, "Worn three hours, and only stomped on a little bit"!

This whole Barwis thing I find a little interesting only because he gets so much attention. Here is another interview at espn.com done by Rittenberg.
Part 1
Part 2

He seems so sure that he's the only guy doing the stuff that they're doing. If any around is familiar with the Strength and Conditioning done at Ohio State or any other major football university please tell if he's really using radically different techniques.

It seems every time he is interviewed he mentions squats, and how they're now doing squats at Michigan. I don't get it. Doesn't everyone do squats?

Well, it's radically different for Michigan, since B.B. (Before Barwis) they were using antiquated techniques w/ antiquated equipment.

I do remember reading an article and also hearing from player interviews that they were drinking chocolate milk after workouts now. That seems to be a new thing among the S&C crowd, although it would be a more novel concept if GameDay hadn't done an expose on the practice just last year the very week before we played Washington, who has been doing the exact same thing for awhile.

They're all copycats, and Eric Lichter and OSU are no exception.

I don't think it's as much what he's doing is new to football, but it's new to Michigan. The former strength and conditioning coach was a little behind the times according to UM fans. I might be wrong, but I think they are thinking "hey, we were pretty good and our S & C guy was living in the stone age. Just think how good we'll be with a new age S & C coach."

Plus he's really tough. Used to be an MMA guy. He also says Fuck a lot and is really intense! -sarcasm off-

Maybe or maybe not. Different means to the same end.

If all of WVU's former players had proven to be combine super-freaks I might be a little worried about the prospects of Michigan's new scientifically engineered super-athlete. :tongue2:

Which is bs.

In the paragraph where he says the word squat 6 or 7 hundred times, he mentions Olympic movements a couple times too. EL has the Buckeyes doing all of the Olympic lifts.

SI.com - SI On Campus - The Barwis Factor: WVU's strength coach putting White and Slaton to work - Tuesday June 26, 2007 11:13AM

Pat White: A typical workout is intense: platform lifts, bench, squat, back, bicep and tricep lifts. Then we go to injury prevention: balancing on balls, flexibility, plyos and conditioning.

Steve Slaton: Conditioning - just a pretty word for running, and running, and running. That's the worst part, the running. Running sprints, running intervals, running the hill behind the practice field. He knows what you can take, and he tries to get a little bit more.

Sounds like Lichter, only with more cursing.

But they dominated the Big East since Miami, BC and VaTech left! Nevermind those losses to South Florida and Pitt.
