Today the CCSU players and I met at Next Level at 8am for a two hour workout. Both players walked in a little sore so after the warm up we began the workout with a 45 minute stretch that included stretching, foam rolling, and some massage therapy. After that long stretching period they both did resisted sprints of 30 yards. Then they did 2x45 yd sprints with a 40yard split time clsoe to max speed and a long recovery in between. They did really well. Then came the chains. These guys have never did chains before so they had no idea what they were getting into. I wanted them to do them because I want to make sure they have some conditioning work done before their pro day. As many FLSP athletes know the chain workout is a routine once a week workout that helps build muscular endurance as they prepare for competition. It leaves the athlete totally exhausted but in time the recovery gets faster. After the chains we finished with the ropes, and the CCSU basically crawled out of the facility. They were unaware of how intense pulling chains up to 630lbs are and the high level of fatigue it creates. Anyway they made it through and they definitely want to build it in their routine during the summer training. Tomorrow we plan to meet at Next Level at 8am for another two hour workout. Tomorrow's workout will be an active recovery workout that will consist of lots of stretching, foam rolling, and massage treatment. They will do no running. They will only do speed drills and footwork.
