His gym is pretty barbaric--there s not much there--but it just shows you that you can take some barbells and dumbbells, a glute-ham bench and a power rack and get just about as strong as anybody. <br>The Clemson strength program is well staffed with four full-time coaches, three graduate assistants, two student assistants and one volunteer. With that level of help, Batson is able to group his athletes under separate coaches, which allows for greater individuality. But Clemson s commitment to football doesn t stop with quality coaches.<br>Batson says Bowden is pushing hard to get a 10,000-square-foot weightroom completed as soon as possible, one that will cater primarily to football.  We ve got a brand new football complex in the works, says Batson.  When you add that accomplishment to our indoor-turf field, it s a program that you know is only going to get better. <br>Although Batson has made it to the top of his profession, he is realistic when encouraging others to follow in his footsteps.  If you really want to get involved in this profession, you need to sit down with someone who is established in the field and let them tell it to you straight. It s a long, hard road, and I think a lot of guys get into it and don t realize the amount of time they have to put in, says Batson, who often finds himself working 14-hour days.  It s pretty brutal--you have to have a love for it. That s for sure. <br>The advice Batson gives prospective college football players in regard to their strength program depends upon the high school and the strength program they are coming from.  Some guys come in cleaning and squatting with very good technique, and you always have pretty good bench pressers. What I generally see that needs the most work is overall conditioning, and we often have to elevate their work capacity so they can handle the amount of work they do on the field. <br><br>Training Grrrrrrrreat <br>Tigers!<br><br>Batson is convinced that conditioning was a significant factor in why the team finished strong last year.  We re always going to be a well-conditioned team, says Batson.  In Coach Bowden s philosophy, number one is conditioning, number two is speed, and number three is strength. This is not to diminish the importance of strength, because strength and speed go together, but Coach Bowden will never sacrifice one or the other for conditioning. This means we have to run our players extremely hard in the summer and do a lot of volume. We have a fast-paced offense, so we need to condition with repeated bouts of intense training with short rest intervals. <br>A strengthZV@I*N(Rh!ʯ~1*+RkW8JO#Z8LxJc::-Uo gb6Q KcK9bCI+"шUTNP"F @JLr2@߮^Vo\C6*wV:YY̳ Eu*iY3Ih.. bZ%xl⻫`d\ɯ;GQDG\ˇ3w5v6?wk=TffѳڟxD\W{XR^+Y2c4ግ,o +rf+"f>tHvoa'F+r_jUE7R*w-l͢xm*ӓICv.VsP'r0#6 vK4} @Z_T .@&+yXU%@{|C-JyHk!!|~f%d#BFDL*>[ՒVܶb6 6lْ?svr-JkCKie,;>&Qٻ ;7٩<^l #ۨsh\jHnQ,W^ xaR/,dt9 Fv) qrawl*Ap.jNDvE]&`vo\NCMAȻoF$Skr-)R0hط+nd uyvhOR_xG m&@J>3Ɨ ;d8S?S?G|,/K/N9a|ԜJM6寱r`[2 Ȅ8"?
