He benches 320, squats 450, cleans 295, push jerks 319 pounds (145 kilos), and has a 31 -inch vertical leap without a step. When asked what his favorite lift is, Garrard replied,  It would probably be the push jerk. There are not a lot of exercises in the weight room that I feel I m better at than a lot of guys, but the push jerk is the one I excel in and there s not a lot of quarterbacks push jerking 319. <br> Although he weighs more than most major household appliances, Garrard s eating problems are no longer a concern to the coaching staff. Says Whitten,  I don t know what his bodyfat percentage is, but if you look at this guy without a shirt on, there s not much fat. The guy is as lean as lean gets. <br>In addition to being a leader on the field, Whitten says Garrard is proving to be a role model in the weightroom and in other areas.  David is not really an outspoken guy, but here s a quarterback who can lift some of the weights the stronger guys can, and just by size alone he stands out and sets a positive example. Perhaps part of his work ethic can be attributed to his role model of choice, Lawrence Taylor.  Taylor dominated the game, says Garrard.  He showed everybody that if you work hard every play, good things will happen. <br>As for special conditioning drills for quarterbacks, Whitten likes to keep his program simple.  We don t try to get too position-specific, but in the summer we focus on all types of change-of-direction drills. David is a great leader in this area, and he helps keep everyone organized. <br>One special event held in the off season is the Pirates annual strong man competition, which takes place over several days each summer and is similar to the show seen on ESPN. David loves the challenge.  The strong man competition is a lot of fun just because it s something that s not football related, and you can be competitive with the other guys on the team, says Garrard.  It just shows them that, sure, I m the quarterback, but I can do a lot of the things that you guys can do . . . even though they think that all we do is drop back and throw the football and we don t get tired or have to be as good athletically as they are. It s great just being able to get out there and compete and show them what I can do physically. <br>Although this is Whitten s first year at East Carolina, he says there was originally some concern about how he would work with a senior quarterback and, for that matter, his senior-dominated team.  With any new situation, there are always some differences in philosophies, but the basic premise is that we want guys to get into the best condition they can, says Whitten.  My number one goal is to let the players know that even though we do things a little bit differently from the previous staff, we re going to achieve the same results and we re going to get better and better we want to convince them that they re in good weather all year long. But more importantly, with the indoor season you start competing in December and go all the way through. My obligation to the athletes in this program is to see to it tht they perform to the best of their ability at the conclusion of the collegiate season, and have plenty left to go on to the United States Championships and get a chance to represent their countc/!.;^LbM DmgLgPmh,Um!_7J=TuiVFǛ#AoN͉׊>@'v!#)ExD}퐱;YC4?\GJ ^Ga\\H~`;`$i,(zM T6D=/R| 1P*;W.H~џ< <3 s,U\ tH LVYQ_%?5,8ӓ]Ay~DZ!q} AsE!򞊀Xmu젒U@s 2%J͆d@\'O?nXʱ1 -6/jwpC"_) (EW(][ZUV=AIMVq)h<^gm -{O&7ȗu#Kb/?ϞˬjW6R0HcuK'Kɽ] YnO0+FȿBf[pÎVFUtM?RbH ɩf‹|K)Wch -ʹ,3z,#o9o5{[X[wm.xH;->xEH Fc͛65g% ]Nfӌb?SV\5H#koA1ݵ\f6d^%?Pp ŽDh GǍXo̺- ;c6Ⱆo$79ҫ^r'oK}6'˓%c09#=T%jJ>pU~$H(>(ڢ ^q 0$A`H gҏZ os̃$ \nc?~/)kb$o7KKY!^8M* $ϦO,B @C*~3S,=M^ں2^?ܨn]J[kVǸ(T6NE[%9$0IVߏO̼svXQɇ6$8I+qTf OpA#+3EbXcjV@۵@W빯HanK_nhLpՓ 79$z|KSOq1#.£l;Sڐ[+d5_JQ?$Y4y}?{lqu XŽ+7u-պ}8̄#VHӶ#jtr?JNR &${fm6SFL !;tW6Yb Qҋj?#6.Gl*,K_WFQ7LG99=
