My fiance and I as well as two of our friends are going to the MSU game...we will be getting into Ann Arbor around 3:30 on Friday. Would any of you know what are soe MUST DO's/MUST See that weekend? Friday night what to do? Will there be a pep rally? best bars/breweries? best thing to do after the game?
I've been to ann arbor probably 10+ times but never explored the nightlife etc..
Rippetoe is definitely a smart and repesctable guy but anyone who is purely a "all or nothing" guy in the strength world, I wouldn't trust. I am strength and conditioning coach at a private facility in NJ and it's always interesting that even the world's best would say this is folly. This goes for the "Im strictly a kettlebell....or barbell...or olympic lifting guys."
Granted you can't always quantify wins with a team and how strong or explosive they are (what the weight room numbers, 40 times etc.)...there are A LOT of 500 benchers that are offensive lineman that sit the bench and that goes for speedsters too. Skill of the sport always comes first, then the qualities of strength, speed, power, endurance come second.
Rippetoe is very stuck in his ways albeit a very good coach but he needs to understand that if you coaches actually measure qualities such as vertical jump (power output), strength numbers, or conditioning measures (aerobic/anerobic power/capacity measures)...and they individualize programs and get BETTER then that should at least HELP somewhat. This could be reducing the risk of injury, or performing at a higher level...
just my thoughts but we could be taking him out of context because genetics does play a huge part esecailly since athletes or what... about 1% of the college environment.
