    McGahee's training secret

    Look at how McGahee worked out before his last season at Miami:

    Rookie RB Willis McGahee, the team's controversial injured first-round pick, prepared for his junior year at Miami by pulling pickup trucks around a parking lot.
    I assume by junior year, they mean sophomore ... but wtf is that ... is he training for the World's Strongest Man or something?

      Mike Alstott used to do that at Purdue. He had a Jeep he was always pulling around. If they had him pull the plane instead of those midgets, he'd of kicked that elephants ass.

          He didn't blow out his knee because of his workouts, he blew out his knee because the other guy's helmet hit him full bore on the knee cap. Regardless of anyone's workout they would have blown their knee on that play.

          Also, I don't see how strengthening the muscles around his joint can do anything but help his knee assuming that he maintains a decent muscle symmetry and does not overtrain the muscles. Taking a look at his legs on tv during the season, I don't see either of those problems being present.

            In shout mag, they mentioned that he pushed his brothers truck around the parking lot of his brothers gym.

            I'm going to implement that into my training program. I'm going to start light. With Minis.

              Right on!

              I was thinking this earlier in regards to posts that say he is injury prone. That was a freak hit that caused his injury, not a twist or turn.

                      Actually SC, it sort of wasn't a typo. It was his academic junior year, but he redshirted in his academic freshman year, so it was his sophomore year on the team.

                          Never pull a truck if you had burritos for lunch.
