The position is all about decision-making… Des will start THAT guy.
Larry Zeno told me to soak the football to make it heavier than when dry. Warm up properly, then throw the heavy ball hard and long. No throwing the next day or the day after too if your arm is too sore. Then rinse/repeat...no pun intended. Build arm strength and stamina by throwing the football using all muscles involved in the mechanics of the throw. I got in a throwing competition during a spring game a few years back and was surprised how much my lower back hurt the next day. Never realized how much I used my upper torso when trying to throw hard.
I'm sure the professional trainers today have a more sophisticated regiment for QB's, but Zeno's method made sense then.
Interesting. I know nothing about training, personal or otherwise, but I wonder if that would be done today. I remember 60 years ago, there were weights the you could wear around your ankles while running. The idea was that the weights would build up the leg muscles used while running. In fact, what happened was that it threw off your stride and could result in injury. Don't know but wonder if the same thing cold happen with a heavier ball.
