AuburnNTexas 7,143 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Weekly awards have been around for a long time as some say it is cheesy but it means something to the players. If it gets the players hyped and working harder that is all that counts. The Strength and Conditioning (S&C) program could be the difference in the team development this year. Players like Brenden Coffey in O-Line get bigger and stronger could actually become a starter, Height in D-line and Riley at LB. Done right it will make everybody better physically. Everybody says biggest problem under Gus was lack of player development. This is where it begins. After that it is working on technique, film room and repetition all equally important. S&C is most important because if you can't physically do it you can't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ll see the S&C results in the 4th Qtr and late in the season and hopefully in less injuries, especially less pulls, strains and sprained muscles.

Paladin 3,305 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Quote Auburn players feeling stronger, more confident after new offseason workout program Updated 5:00 PM; Today 5:00 PM By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com Owen Pappoe smiled, and then he flexed, raising both arms above his shoulders and showing off his biceps for the camera. Auburn’s junior linebacker had reason to flaunt his stuff this week as the Tigers’ began spring practice. After a grueling seven-week offseason workout program under new strength and conditioning coach Jeff Pitman and staff, Pappoe felt like a million bucks. “Man, we’re going to look like some Marines come fall, I’m telling you,” Pappoe said. Pappoe, who former coaches have said could have been an Olympic powerlifter had he taken that route early on, called Pitman’s offseason workout regimen “crazy” and was one of several Tigers to rave about the program’s new approach in the weight room since Bryan Harsin hired Pitman to oversee that aspect of the program. It was Pitman, not offensive coordinator Mike Bobo or defensive coordinator Derek Mason, who was the first hire announced to Harsin’s staff back on Jan. 5. That felt significant and like an early statement by Harsin about how he wants to reshape the program. It was going to begin in the weight room, and Pitman was the man he tasked with that undertaking. Auburn is the third different school the two have worked at together, and their relationship dates back more than 20 years. Pitman was the head strength coach at Boise State in 1999, during Harsin’s final season playing for the Broncos. The two then worked together on staff at their alma mater from 2002-06, when Harsin was a position coach and then offensive coordinator and Pitman was still overseeing the strength program. When Harsin got his first head coaching opportunity at Arkansas State in 2013, he tabbed Pitman as strength coach for the program. Pitman has managed the strength and conditioning program for Harsin’s team in each of the last eight seasons, including during Harsin’s entire head coaching tenure at Boise State, before following him to Auburn this offseason. “There’s a new way as far as the training part goes,” Harsin said. “There’s some new things that we did. I think everybody was really trying to make sure that they’re doing their best at what it is they were asked to do. So, I thought the attitude and effort of the entire team was very good. Early on, it was challenging. And as they got stronger and got better, it wasn’t so much the workouts got easier. I think it was just our players got better as the workouts went on.” It was a different kind of approach in the weight room compared to years past, when Ryan Russell was in charge as strength and conditioning coach. Russell is a well-respected strength coach who spent eight seasons at Auburn and is now at Missouri — and who also previously worked at Arkansas State and Boise State during his career — and he relied on a staged approach in the weight room that also leaned on plyometric training and body-weight exercises. Players saw their numbers improve under Russell as they progressed through the various levels of his program, but there wasn’t a big emphasis on single-rep maxes. That changed this offseason under Pitman, with the final week of the seven-week program focused on one-rep max lifts. Pitman and staff also awarded Iron Men of the Week honors to two players each week, while they also had players work on speed and agility, change-of-direction drills and competition-driven team-building exercises. “One of the biggest differences was — with Coach Russell, we did a few reps for max instead of one rep for max,” center Nick Brahms said. “It’s not better or worse; it’s just different. So, I think that’s probably the biggest difference — we probably lift heavier weights.” That max week was capped with a “Friday night lights” workout that saw the entire weight room dimmed, except the lights above whichever weight rack was being used, as players gathered around and cheered on their teammates as they tried to set new personal records. Pappoe said he set new maxes in every major workout during that week, while Brahms said many of the Tigers’ offensive linemen hit “big numbers” on squat, bench press and cleans. Safety Smoke Monday said he felt stronger for it, too, adding that he could tell there was an increased level of confidence throughout the team heading into the spring after its offseason workout program. “It’s big, because like Coach Pitman is a great, great, great man,” running back Tank Bigsby said. “He’s always about hitting it, and we’re going to hit it, heavy weight, running, everything like that. We wasn’t big on moving a lot of heavy weight last year, but we move a lot of weight this year.” It resulted in 17 players adding at least 10 pounds from their listed playing weight last season, while another eight added at least eight pounds, with notable gains on both the offensive and defensive lines, as well as in the tight end room. Players like Bigsby, Pappoe and fellow linebacker Zakoby McClain, quarterback Bo Nix and offensive lineman Tashawn Manning were among the biggest standouts of the offseason, according to Harsin, and it set the tone for the expectations of the players heading into their first season under a new coach. “Oh yeah, they got us big in the weight room,” McClain said. “Got us doing a lot of stuff in the weight room making sure we’re getting right so we’re game ready and stuff.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
