(S7) - Weekend PT 1 - Training Regimen

[Roly]

Darren Morris loves the offseason and training. It’s his favourite time of the year, hands down. He spends his days at a beach front property down South training on the beach and getting some excercise in out in the water. He’s an avid free diver, tempting depths of the water without any accompanying gear or equipment. The result has been lots of practice regulating breathing and conserving air.

The result has been a renewed focus on agility training this offseason for Morris. On the beach he’s used the poor terrain to practice lateral movement and getting side to side in quick successive motions. Getting up early and staying out well past the sunset, Morris is well known and recognized along the beach in front of his property.

In addition, Morris has focused on strength and getting his reps in the gym up. Never a huge guy, he’s put a larger focus on bulking up this offseason to better compete for balls and make big tackles down field. He’s hoping that this training regimen change will get him to a new level this season.

Ryan Applehort's training regime is light. When it comes to being a quarterback, it is less body and muscular work, so Applehort doesn't lift many weights. Most of his drills consist of his favorite, the touch drill. The touch drill consists of three stages. Applehort begins at the 5 yard line. He lofts up a pass over a cornerback and to a wide receiver in the corner of the end zone, then takes some steps back to the twenty, finds a receiver on a slant, and then backpedals to midfield, where he launches a bomb to a fading wide receiver. Applehort's set the record for this drill, one previously held by Vincent Draxel. Another drill he does is baseball throwing. Applehort played baseball in college as well, pitching. While it isn't his forte (He can only throw up to 83 MPH), he works on long distance throwing to improve his motion. The big part of his training, however, is the decision making. As many know, the on the field decision making of a quarterback can be the difference between winning and losing in a tight game. Applehort takes part in many training workouts to improve this, such as finding the better pass, doing multitasking drills where he'll talk to a coach in an active conversation while throwing, and finally, watching film. The film room is where Applehort spends the late hours, Studying up on the greats, such as Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and some grainy Dan Marino clips. He then heads to the Yeti gaming facility for some rounds of Fortnite to boost his reflexes.

Avon Blocksdale has been hard at work this offseason. He's been trying to catch Mike Boss and try to win the MVP in this S7 year. Avon has played QB for 3 seasons in the NSFL and he's made the Pro Bowl each time, essentially being the top QB in the NSFC each season. In order to get better Avon has been working on his passing and throws. He has been standing on the end zone and trying to hit into small targets. The accuracy specifically is what Avon has been working on. He has done a good job at avoiding interceptions, but he throws a good amount of incompletions. That is what Avon is trying to improve on. He has some good receiving weapons in Trey Willie and Alexandre Leclair, along side the best RB In the league, Owen Taylor. Additionally the Hawks drafted rookie receiving TE in Verso L'Alto. He's gonna help Avon for sure, and hopefully Avon's hard work pays off.

Charlie Law is standing with his full uniform on representing The Nola. He smiles and puts his helmet on.

"My offseason workout is intense. So intense that when I need to kick it up a notch, it requires....creativity. That's why, with the backing of the good people at Underoos, I'm going to go through my most difficult challenge yet."

Law turns and walks through an open door of an MMA style cage. The camera pans out and inside the cage is a bear. Like, a legit fucking bear. A bell rings and Law drops into a wrestling stance. The bear simply rushes forward like an 800 pound death machine and knocks Law over like he's a child.

"OH MY GOD THIS WAS A MISTAKE!"

Law's shout is accompanied by the bear lifting him back up and throwing him again, this time into the cage itself. The trainers quickly rush into the cage and distract the bear while Law crawls out, scratched, bleeding, and looking terrified.

“I think I saw Mr. Rogers. He was very disappointed in me.”

A man in a suit steps in front of the camera and does a cut gesture. Our feed goes dark.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1998 the Undertaker threw Mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

So I finally decided to let you in on my secrets. Little do people know that the secret to being great at one sport is being good at many. True athletes must have various skills and abilities that you get not only in the weight room or field but from other areas as well. I box to train my hand speed and power. The technique used on a speed or punching bag translates great with my pressing at the line. Ballet is great too. My flexibility has improved drastically as well as my balance. Basketball drills have greatly improved my leaping ability. Soccer has improved my cardio and footwork greatly (watch out, I may play a little kicker pretty soon too). Finally, I live for evenings in the batting cages to improve my hand eye coordination. When I combine all of these skills, I am able to become a much better athlete on the field.

Mat Akselsen only has one workout routine. Full on Rocky IV training montage in the snow. Mat does it all, he runs through the snow away from KGB agents hot on his tail. One time they caught a drop of his sweat in a vial and attempted to run away with it back to commie land. Well, as any red-blooded American would Mat called upon his trusty bald eagle sidekick, Jeremy, who swooped down at the agents and stole the vial right out of their hands. Bringing the vial back to Mat, who promptly crushed it under the heel of his full-sized American boots.

AMERICA AMERICA AMERICA
LAND OF THE FREE
A COUNTRY FOR YOU AND ME

Mat Akselsen sang this in his head as he crushed the hopes and dreams of the USSR.

He also does pull-ups in the forest, carries logs on his back, and carries his family around in a cart. He also keeps a mental image in his head of his fallen comrade, Luke Leuchly and vows to avenge his death at the hands of the red devils.

I do regular workouts and conditioning, of course, but one thing that I love to add in, after any workout, is a burnout set. A burnout set is essentially lining up numerous smaller plates on a barbell and doing repeated sets, taking one plate off for each set, until you've reached the bar, and then going all the way back up to where you started. This is an excellent finisher for a workout, as the lighter weights more effectively create the micro fractures in the muscle that initiate the kreb cycle, especially after already having hit the muscle group hard during the original workout.

For bench, this normally amounts to five different ten pound plates on each side of the bar, and working down and up from there in sets of ten. I like to apply this to curls, bench press, squat, and even push press in order to maximize my gains from each lift.

[Ramero]

Rickey Ramero, the alleged Colombian cartel drug dealer uses a method of training that helps him achieve maximum performance. Before you talk, no, I am not here today to tell you that Ramero has been doping. At least not in the normal sense that we find ourselves often looking at doping. Ramero has been using the cocaine that his family's cartel produces in order to give himself the energy and athleticism to perform while on the field. One big problem that people often run into with physical exercise and sports is a lack of energy or, heartburn which is caused by a lack of tenacity in the heart.

Cocaine fixes this problem by doing two things. The obvious is providing the user with an immediate boost of adrenaline, and the second being quickening the heart and over time, conditioning the heart to be able to hold up a quicker RPM without causing heart aches. Ramero may just be on to something.
