Live Game Talk: Louisiana vs. South Alabama

. . . maybe he is not completely incorrect . . .

Here is an interesting article on quarterbacks tinkering with arm strenth and loss of muscle memory.

You think this is the same as off week maintenance workouts? Stop being silly.

No, he is completely incorrect.

I said "interesting" as in addendum, obviously not the same as two weeks of muscle rebuilding.

An off-season of bulking up however, is related to what I have discussed.

You cherry picked the muscle building part of the article and missed the lack of throwing reps due to the pandemic. So you conflated adding 15 lbs of muscle while not throwing during the pandemic with a kid doing maintenance workouts during an off week when he was definitely also throwing.

Additionally that’s an article, not a study. It’s that guy’s opinion. But was it the lifting? Or was it the lack of throwing? Or both? Or neither? Regardless, that example has zero similarity to this situation.

Like they always do.

Lifting weights to late in the off season and bye weeks.

Can't hit the side of a barn week one for one QB, and sandwiched between two 13 of 17 outings was a dismal showing coming out of the weight lifting week off.

Look back at history, happens often.

How do you know he was doing weight workouts? Were you there?

I didn't cherry pick anything the need to practice is right there in the link.

The need for practice still relates to overcoming the loss of, and regaining of muscle memory.

[zephyr]

That is such an RPCA sort of thing to say

Come on. That's how it works right?

[fanof71]

With QB, it's more mechanics of throwing memory than muscle memory...those could be related ..

Well they practice, so what’s your point?
