# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" Suffice it to say there was more to it than that.
The study omitted the low bar back squat from consideration. The low bar back squat requires a more horizontal back angle due to the fact that it must do so in order to maintain center of gravity. In doing so, it loads the spinal erector muscles, the glutes, the hamstrings and the adductors.
Beat me to it!
Kinda hoping they pick up Tommy Grady from the Jacksonville Sharks arena team.
You're all sort of right. Front squats have more carry over for athletes as the front squat is primarily used to help in Olympic weightlifting to train the clean and jerk, which is considered an explosive movement compared to just pushing weight. Low bar back squats allow for more overall weight due to the positioning of the bar.
That study is interesting since I had always assumed the difference was much greater, but it refers to a high bar back squat, which is something between the low bar and front. I am still under the belief that a low bar back squat will activate more posterior chain and that the front squat has more quad activation.
If I was a weight training coach, and I'm not, my off-season workouts for athletes would train heavy back squats with front squats as an accessory to help with their clean.
Beamer...BeamerBall...Lunch Pail...Bud
I see what they're doing. #sources
Perhaps a subconscious dislike of Tony Romo?
I'm familiar with this study
They are comparing the front squat to the high bar back squat which requires the same vertical back angle.

He didn't gain 12 pounds in 3 weeks. My understanding was that he's gained 12 pounds and there are 3 weeks left until Fall Camp.
EDIT: Whoops, didn't look back at the picture. I was seeing it in my head and instead saw Isaiah Ford's picture which also drew some criticism as to how he gained the pounds.
Perhaps a shift from the association of "BeamerBall" and Virginia Tech to the Lunch Pail. Definitely has been a lot more of it around major media events like ACC Media Days and such.

# | Frank Beamer Hopes Virginia Tech's Next Head Coach "Would Come From Our Staff" He can also blow bubbles with Beef Jerky
I wouldn't say less relevant. Primarily because with the way conferences are structured, 1 regular season loss could be the loss that keeps you out of the conference championship game.
The committee was saved last year in the sense that all 4 teams that won their conference were in. It will be very interesting to see what they do with a 1 loss team that perhaps doesn't even play for their conference championship
Arn't they voting soon on whether a conference can decide to hold a CCG even if they don't have 12 teams?
Even if it was lower body, 12 pounds in three weeks for a trained individual is likely to be mostly fat, glycogen, and water with a tiny bit of muscle thrown in.
Is it not already?
There's something about Scott Van Pelt that makes me think he'd be a hell of a guy to hang around and have a beer with.

# | #TeamPie: Introducing the Piesman Trophy - SB Nation unveils the first award for linemen who do awesome, un-lineman things. Or "tube steak"
Oh man...I almost spit out my coffee. Thanks for the laugh.
2015: 20th anniversary of the lunch pail and potentially the best defensive unit in recent history. Coincident? I think not
I recorded 8am - 8pm EST on those 4 channels.
I'm really glad he ran into SVP. Keep him in our corner a bit. Also, that dude is huge! I didnt realize he was as tall as he was

Or "tube steak"
My muscles and the University of Florida seem to disagree:
The front squat was shown to be just as effective as the back squat in terms of overall muscle recruitment, with significantly less compressive forces on the knee.
A BIOMECHANICAL COMPARISON OF BACK AND FRONT SQUATS IN HEALTHY TRAINED INDIVIDUALS
It may not "Train" the posterior chain, but to do a front squat effectively you have to have a strong/engaged posterior chain, which may be the point. Overhead squats even more so.
You would be completely wrong. The front squat does nothing for the posterior chain. The posterior chain is a muscle group, that is involved with hip extension. There isn't any hip extension involved in the front squat as your back angle is not correctly loaded to require extension.
It does, however beat the hell out of your your hip flexsors.

Very true. I'd say I perfectly demonstrated that many of us easily forget that Beamer is in a class of his own on the college football landscape
So why can't you understand how Hardy is serving 4 games now like Brady?
