I'd like to see Howard Green do the full Insanity workout. I'm not an athlete and I did it. Sounds fair, right?

Why? What could the Insanity workout possibly have to offer him for his training goals?

What was Howard Green doing before he came into our lineup? I am guessing he will be in better shape starting the season than he was the first week he was in a Packers uniform last season. But by far the funniest quote I have seen for a workout regimen. I hope it was a pull start mower to give him that extra work, if it was electric start then I am worried 😛

Then again, we don't know if what he said was tongue in cheek and the reporter didn't pick up on it (or chose to let the readers infer that for themselves). Some people have a pretty deadpan sense of humor.

Well my hopes for Green aren't going to happen. I was hoping he'd get down to 325ish and focus solely on DE and leave NT to Raji and Pickett.

I don't see why they would. Most of the guys who spend that much time in the gym are bodybuilders who haven't the faintest clue about how to put together a solid training program in keeping with scientifically sound principles of exercise physiology. Most of what passes for knowledge in the gym is pure "bro science." The stimulus they apply to their bodies is more or less worthless, which is why they so often have to boost their training programs with supplements, performance enhancing drugs, etc. just to get the gains they want.

By contrast, the football players I saw in my gym back home were following carefully controlled, efficient training programs that promoted real strength and mass gains in keeping with long-established training principles, and they were typically out of the gym in under an hour -- certainly less than 90 minutes. You have to realize, football players aren't competitive weightlifters -- their lifting is targeted toward improving their abilities in their chosen sport -- so they aren't looking to constantly max out their lifts; as a result, most of their training is sub-maximal. My training schedule is based on the famous program promulgated by pioneering strength coach Bill Starr, who more or less singlehandedly introduced the practice of weightlifting to the sport of football back in the 1960s (he trained the Colts during their 1970 Super Bowl season). The program works just as well now as it did then. I am setting personal records every week lately, and even I could still be out of the gym in about an hour or so if I really wanted to. I just don't have much going on right now, so I tend to dawdle and hang around longer than I should.

All that being said, I am concerned about Green's relative sedentary lifestyle. If he is thinking he will be able to whip himself into shape once training camp rolls around, I am afraid he is going to end up injured. He needs to be toughing up those muscles and joints of his.

I was not trying to advocate he spend 2-3 hours in the gym every day. I meant that there are other players (CM3?) who do spend that much time and more working out. While Howard seems to have a program that is geared to a middle aged guy with a bad back. I just wanted to see something that reflects a little more of a hunger for his job. Who knows maybe he is training and he is not giving the details in his interview with the media. I am ok with that too.

I hope it was a pull start mower to give him that extra work, if it was electric start then I am worried =P
