This happens almost once a week on the corner. It's not an unusual occurence. I'm kind of surprised the local news even covered it. Must have been a slow news day.

Love the film, though it is a little of the man among boys. At that age I may have been able to get on the field to be one of the guys he runs over based on the talent level of some of the opposition. That looks like a very nice to play high school football, shame there is no visiting fans. I can never tell when someone is over-rated because they look good against bad competition, or under-rated because they do not play top level football from film, but if we got him into a camp before we offered I have to think we are getting a steal here.

I mean seriously 2 people one here more worried about how he is lifting weights as opposed to happy for the kid to get to come to VT and play some football.

Who said I wasn't happy? I just don't want the kid to get hurt before he shows up here. Please understand what i'm saying before you assume something.

So far Macho and Coleman are only *confirmed Hokies in the CFL this upcoming year. Bonner, Marcus Davis and one other I can't remember might also be there again. Wish the CFL had more coverage.

the bicep works in isometric tension under the load

Notice I said

If you're using your biceps to move a deadlift

Most of your muscles and muscle groups are going to be under tension when doing a heavy, free weight, compound movement like a deadlift but that doesn't mean all of those muscles are activated for the purpose of moving the weight. However a supinated style grip does not intrinsically increase one's risk of bicep injury as much as it increases the possible temptation to contract the elbows which will in turn severely increase the risk of bicep injury.

All I'm doing is simply spreading information about what I know about weight lifting and strength training (and it's a good bit).

Oh and I hate to be that guy but after making a statement like this I really hope you have the formal education and formal training to back it up. I'm not judging you because I don't know your credentials but I meet so many people who have been lifting for a while, who enjoy reading articles online, and who maybe have a few lifters that they follow on youtube and as a result they consider themselves experts who are qualified to train and teach others. These people scare me.

Very good point. It's just a shame that we almost had to depend on the defense creating sacks/fumbles or interceptions to give us good field position and spark the offense. As you said, gambling on getting turnovers or sacks is very high risk/high reward. Maybe with a more competent offense, Bud's calls wouldn't be so overly-aggressive in order to prevent big plays from the opposing team. As interested as I am in seeing Fuente's offense, I'm just as interested in seeing how that and the new tempo will affect the defense.
