Not too sure about unstoppable, but I'd like to think they'll be stronger and get less OP,hamstring type injuries. The mental aspect is important to me.
Simon and I keep telling them no other VFL club is doing this in October, and I think he's correct. We had a Pt Melbourne player come round to sign up and he was blown away by the gym. He said, as Simon has stated before, we have the best gym in the VFL.
Geelong and Collingwoods VFL team train with their AFL team mates, I think, and they have tremendous no budget gyms.
Anyway, we keep telling the boys that NO club will be fitter and ready to go in the last quarter, they'll be able to overrun anyone.
Apparently last year they were killed in the second half in most games.
Simon is really impressed by their times already. One boy clocked just over 9 minutes for 3k. Most are posting up numbers much better than this time last year.
We have the same running coach as last year, a great guy, the only thing added has been the weights.
One of the great things has been the acceptance from the guys. You will always get soft cocks, but Simon is already cutting them. Anyone complains on the track, Simon sends them to me for a KB complex till theyre right again lol
A big Islander tonight was complaining about how hard the complex was
All this for 15 reps a set
Deadlift KB
64kg
56kg
48kg
40kg
Thrusters (near killed them)
16kg
12kg
10kg
8kg
Cannonballs
28kg
24kg
20kg
Then the same for 10 reps straight after. Thats 275 consecutive reps.
Anyway, the Islander had to do it with Nina and Sussi, he couldnt really quit.
Nina confided in me later on, it was the hardest complex she had ever done. She thinks I've broken her. Anyone thats done KB complexes with Nina knows how hard she goes, so this must have been really tough lol
One boy, Karnie, did it a third time with 5 reps, then went out and trained. Over 90% of these guys did it BEFORE training. The rest that get there late do it after.
Anyway Gary, here is a small video, ask and you shall recieve
