The guy ain't no retard. He'd KO your ass and then feel up your girlfriend.

For such a badass I was surprised about his training philosophy.

True - just goes to show the difference in functional strenght versus lifting for 'size'

Title: Re: Troy Polamalu is a Lunatic Beast, But Damn!
Post by: heretostay13 on January 24, 2009, 08:12:29 AM
What is training exactly? Depends on the purpose. Is Polamalu's training superior to others? Who knows for sure. We've seen too many times that athleticism will make up for a lot of things, especially inferior training. To approach training for sports like bodybuilding would be a mistake. It's about training for athletic movements...which in themselves are impossible to reproduce exactly as to how they occur on the field of play. So, what am I saying exactly? Obviously he's doing something that works for him and that translates better to what he does on the football field.

it's stupid for a pro football player who has to be mobile and fast on the field to be making their legs sore with heavy squats and other big basic movements, it's fine to do that stuff offseason but in season it will just make you slow and immobile.

Polamalu's training is geared for a specific sport, football in his case. If at that same gym, a baseball, basketball, soccer player (or whatever) would have different style programs. Each athletes trains to fit his needs for that individual sport. Basic lifting strength is only part of a serious workout plan. PL'ing is pretty much a straight up and down motion. In main line sports, like football, lateral and bi-lateral strength is required greatly. Also these planned programs usually highlight one leg at a time, or one side at a time, exercises. Polamalu's program is designed for stamina (endurance + strength), timing and muscle balance.

Some Pl'ing are not naturally gifted athletes. This may be shocking to quite a few here. They can get super strong in the 3 lifts but that does not always mean any thing but average performance in other sports. Olympic lifters tend toward the more athletic type of lifter. Strongman lifting also fall into the athletic abilities group. Quite a few BB'ers may have a hard time walking and crewing gum at the same time. Even more trouble when walking, crewing gum and flexing the lat's at the same time.

I am sure 99% of the guy's here could not last 5 minutes on a Polamalu type of sport training session. And on the other hand he probably can not bench 400+ or never have 19" guns. Or look crappy on a poising platform. But than again he may have 20 million bucks in the bank.

Side Bar: That long hair is an old tribal/family Samoan thing. Not too many there or mainlanders do that anymore. Long hair in American Samoa is a pain in the ass. Also tat's are very big over there and here. Surprise have not seen any noticeable tat's on Polamalu's. Probably are on the calf's and upper leg's. Think Polamalu was born and raised in Oregon or Washington.

it makes sense-----football players use their fast twitch muscles more than their slow twitch muscles, they definitely need a more dynamic way of training

That's not exactly a great hit. A defenceless returner looking up getting blindsided illegally doesn't really show how good Troy is.

It's like a crack back block. It is the easiest hit to do and looks awesome but I give way more props to guys who can de-cleat fools straight up.

The Dr's told Lott he had 2 options after he broke his pinky in a game. 1) Have surgery which would mean that he would miss some games. 2) They could amputate the pinky and he would never miss a snap. He chose option 2 and they cut his fucking pinky off. Check out his hand below.

The irony is that 4 seconds' worth of his NFL pay roughly equates ten years' earnings of the average bodybuilder (when the bodybuilder's pay from his mutliple part-time jobs is factored in).
