Dwight freeney workout program

The modified MH workout routine at the end of the slideshow leaves something to be desired, but the slidehow itself is worth your time. He is powerful, explosive, fast, and generally pretty intimidating.

The other is known as one of the most-feared football players in the NFL and in signed what was then the highest contract ever for a defensive player. This slideshow is a snapshot of approximately 2 hours of training together. It's time to meet the cast; let's start with the star.

The one, the only, Dwight Freeney. Say cheese! Let's get to work. The day started with a drive to the Santa Monica Mountains and what Capretta called a light jog translation: We ran a mountain. Then we progressed from a jog to a sprint. But might I add we did it tied to a pound tire. I took the term "eat my dust" to heart.

I think I can still taste the sand. Enough with the running. Here's my take at some rotational strength. I thought I looked like I'm in decent shape.

But that was before I saw the next picture. And here's Dwight doing the same exercise. I think it's safe to say that he looks like a pro football player and I don't. Oh yeah: He also tossed the tire about 30 feet farther than I did.

Dwight prepares to flip a pound tire, which might be how much his right arm weighs. Here I am flipping the tire. And yes, with a little bit of effort I made this happen 10 times. Want to try something you won't typically see in a gym? Grab a sledgehammer, step on a tire, and slam away. That sledgehammer is much heavier than it looks. And Dwight's even bigger than he looks, too.

I wasn't as forceful or as fast, but I left feeling like I should have been a lumberjack or something like that. Now it's on to dragging pounds up a hill. Yes, I said pounds. Fear level: 3. I can't lie: He moves as if he were shot out of a cannon—speed, quickness, and power. All that was missing was his vicious spin move. It's time for me to get suited up in the harness and give the hill a try. Keep in mind, the tire weighs more than me.

No fear and absolutely no speed. Alternate among exercises of the same number 1A, 1B, and 1C, for example until you complete all the sets in that group. In other words, do 1 set of exercise 1A and follow it up with 1 set of 1B, and so on.

Complete 8 to 12 repetitions of each exercise. Once you can perform more than 12 reps, add more weight to make the exercises more difficult. Before starting the workout, do 3 warmup sets each of the dumbbell power squat and the dumbbell bench press.

Perform 10, 10, and 5 reps during the warmup. For exercises 1A to 1C, rest 45 seconds after each exercise and then 2 minutes before repeating the entire sequence.
