The Virginia Tech football staff provided a temporary fix for the long offseason. The Hokies don't kickoff their 2016 campaign against Liberty for another 78 days, but summer workouts are in full swing and this clip is best described as 💯 🔥 💯 🔥.

@HokiesFB Running out to workouts at 7am seeing this was probably the craziest thing I've been apart of — Josh Jackson (@joshiejack17) June 17, 2016

Two thoughts and a question:
1. This GIF of Nick Acree is the perfect way to say "it's time to go to work" in 56 frames.
2. By my count, Joey Slye squats 425 pounds (8 Cadillacs plus the bar and two dimes) — "Aye that's the kicker", indeed.
3. How much weight are you putting up on #BigSquatFriday, TKP?

I thought Acree had to give up football? He looks jacked.
Fosters some great competition when your strength assistant is the size of the house and can out lift anyone on the team
Acree was born 5'11" 220
78, you say?
I can squat. with like...dumbbells
I squat a couple of times a day, but only when I have to.
I usually find a toilet so I can sit. Usually
78 days until Liberty, 84 days until Kenny Chesney and 85 days until the Battle at Bristol. Already getting fired up!
Can anyone tell who gets run over or knocked down in the clip? It looked like Devin Wilson to me.
Yep DW took the brunt....
Who did it better?
Damn, someone wants to be the next Mountain. Boy's got some beef!
Who was that at the end who looked like he was about to call earl?
For me the Acree gif is as much about the facilities as him. Who wouldn't feel some kind of awe working out there? I wish the shot could have been held a little longer to have a more complete view of the stadium as well as the indoor facility and outdoor practice field. Five minutes before game time walk recruits through there and then down the tunnel to their seats for the Sandman Entrance. Nice!
Speaking of the background, what is going on in the background of this clip? Looks like one of Fuente's camps to me. You would think this kind of show might hype up some highschool campers!
