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 Garr with any group of people who have a common set of goals.&nbsp; In his words "Expanding self image expands the possible".&nbsp; I have to believe that knowing that you are very highly conditioned provides great self confidence during the course of a competitive event.</P> <P align=center><STRONG>The Power Of A Collaborative Pre-Game Strategy</STRONG></P> <P align=left>Strength coaches are all aware that their effectiveness is directly related to the support they reeive from the head man.&nbsp; On the other hand, I know in our program that I can be an effective asset to the head coach in acting as an extension of his beliefs and goals for the team.&nbsp; Many strength coaches enter a state of isolation once the season starts.&nbsp; The offense meets, the defense meets, you wait.&nbsp; Stretch, condition and "get back" can be unfulfilling after a summer of intense involvement with ninety players.</P> <P align=left>At ECU we've developed a three prong approachby association. <br>Karon chose SMU to play football and made an immediate impact.
