Summer work outs. Bigger, Stronger, Faster & Joe T assists
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Most of those guys look like they’ve never even looked at weights before. I hope recruits aren’t seeing this video
I remember when Fran purposely had Basabe lose weight. Fran wants his players to be "lean". I think toward the end of the season the lack of muscle is what causes the fade at the end of the season. The players are just worn out.
From the looks of things, Joe T. is fitting in really well in Fran's up-tempo offense. I love the way he pushes the ball in these clips. He's not afraid to make an aggressive entry pass, which is great--he catches Nunge perfectly in stride--but those could easily lead to turnovers if he's not careful. Garza almost got a hand on that bounce pass. The second assist, though, is the one I really like. He drives to the FT line and fakes a jumper that turns into a no-look pass to Kriener. He's creative and quick, and he uses those skills effectively to feed the post. I can't wait to see what he can do in a live game.
He had him lose weight because he had gained too much one offseason and it affected his play.
What you see with the bench is guys doing lower weight but doing lots of reps and very slowly. More time under tension in the muscle.
It looks like the very slowly part is from the video being in slow motion.
It would be nice if they could lift to add some bulk as they look like pansies putting up that light weight or at the very least don't film that weak crap.
Looking at the football videos compared to this is embarrassing.
Well since they play different sports I would hope it looks different. Nice troll job. Whatever issues Iowa had last year or shortcomings, strength really wasn't one of them.
Basabe purposefully put on a lot of weight between his freshman and sophomore years. And as a sophomore he wasn't nearly as effective. Took away his movement and explosion.
I'm all for guys getting strong, but the game isn't won by banging away in the paint today. Guys have to be able to move and defend people in close or away from the basket.
And that is where you are dead wrong. The Fran fade is a direct result of getting outmuscled at the end of the season in the big ten.
Are you serious? Muscle size bears no correlation to endurance.
Basketball players don't lift to bulk up. It's about strength and flexibility. Weight gain is an entirely different program.
Big, quick, strong.
I'd like to see all 3. But what's probably more realistic with some of the body types is lean and strong pound for pound.
This is not a roster of guys with a lot of strength. Cook was the one guy last year counter to that mold.
They don't need to bulk up necessarily. But they do need to be stronger.

Okay, whatever. You do you. Fill your roster with a bunch of big guys who can't move, and see how many games you can win.
Guarantee this guy is fat.
Fran has a better record during the 2nd half of the B1G schedule, including the BTT, than he does the first half of the B1G schedule. Now what?
Well, considering they aren't football players, I have no problem with them not lifting like football players.
Coach - Hey Pat, Tristan did 4/435 on hang cleans...hit it
Pat - <rips arms off trying to hang clean 435>
Coach - Good try...go see the trainer
Completely true. Compile the records since Fran’s been the coach and get back with me.
Already have, Jim. That’s why I’m so confident. Maybe it would do you some good to DYOFR so you stop pushing false narratives.
The Fran fade is a real thing though, there's no denying that
Let’s look at it year by year
2011 The entire year was terrible.
2012 No fade
2013 No fade
2014 Fade
2015 No Fade
2016 Fade
2017 No fade
2018 The entire year was terrible
2019. Fade
Yet here you sit on a message board missing your calling.
No you’re comparing a football workout to a basketball workout. A real intelligent fella you are. Carry on.
As another said, you cherry pick one of the best players on the planet, who is also in his 30s. And he didn't look anything like he does now when he came into the league.
Yes, you and your narrative is wholly false and moronic.
Math and logic not your strong suit.
No I'm comparing the videos that the football team puts out compared to the basketball team you idiot
That doesn’t contradict itself at all.
You realize every person in this thread is laughing at you right?

Did you ask them?
He didn't but he also doesn't ask the water if it's wet.
I read at one time that Lebron and Carmelo were actually trying to lose muscle/weight one off season since the extra weight was hurting their games and their bodies. Lebron is actually much leaner than he could be.
If you suck all year like 2018, that is still a fade in my book.
Fran has never seen a Saturday in BTT.
By your own definintion, he has faded or sucked 4 of the past 6 years.
