SI's NFL Workouts article

This is one of those painfully good news bad news situations.

good news: most of the stuff they do makes a whole lot of sense, and they emphasize a lot of good ideas

Bad news: No mortal could survive, let alone improve on these workouts.

I need to amend that. Donovan Darius’s regimen would cause a normal person to overtrain in a week. At least he has the good sense not to try more than 5 days a week, but jeez! his is beastly.

Donald Driver’s seems to suffer from the opposite, but that of course is better.

I like Walter Jones’s a lot… pushing a three-ton escalade is no joke!

Tiki’s makes sense for Tiki, though, I’d probably shuffle somethings around a la defranco. and it doesn’t say where tiki sprints or conditions himself.

All in all, a good look at the NFL and a reminder that athletes at that level are freaks and you should not imitate them!

None of them really go into regeneration and only touch on diet and flexibility.

Some of this stuff is very “Renegade” :slight_smile:

I don’t know about that… it just seems like they all found one thing that works for them and carried it out to the logically progressive, though out of cost-benefit, end.

Just reading Donovin Daruis’ workout made me feel tired…

Ironic that ‘Double D’ is now out for the season with an ACL tear. I hope he recovers.
