This should help prevent a few injuries next year

Just wait a gosh darn minute

Where are all the people who try and tell me that adding muscle bulk doesn’t help you avoid injuries?

Will you please send them to talk Mr. Avery out of the foolish notion that he can improve his durability with all that adding pounds of muscle nonsense? For Pete’s sake he could be working on something important instead.

So is what Sam Bradford pointless as well

yes, it was.

Bradford will never survive NFL hits on our turf. He’s heartbreak waiting to happen.

I assume you're a sports medicine doctor

who has vast experience with injuries like Bradford’s. Right?

no

But I can watch two replays of him getting thrown hard to the ground and limping away (which btw only happened to him 24 times in his college career, 10 fewer times than the Rams allowed last year). Consider the fact that hes playing against bigger stronger guys than your average Big XII D. Then add in the entire tonage of IR listed Rams caused by that ground. And I feel pretty comfortable in my assessment that he hasn’t proven he can throw under pressure and take the hits which will be required of him and stand firm that he will end up another Rams bust if we were take him. He probably will develop into a good NFL quarter back, but I don’t want to hand him the keys to the franchise. He would be better if he received the Aaron Rodger’s treatment.

I’d like to see.

You are aware the Rams aren't using the same turf this year, right?

Well..

I’ve already said I think that muscle strength does more then muscle bulk…they aren’t exactly the same thing at least in my opinion…but that is a whole ’nother argument.

you're right, and it's not even a 1:1 correlation

Strength and bulk, two differnet things. I believe strength increases at an ever decreasing ratio to weight of muscle. But I’m comfortable assuming Avery added both, and that his bulk is a result of strength work. I suppose his bulk could be due to donuts, but then he probably wouldn’t tell anyone.

He says he just ate more chicken and took more vitamins

And isn’t it kinda hard to add muscle mass with out becoming stronger?

On the upper end, as you add more and more mass, you get less and less strength per oz

I think that’s right. I am not a doctor, I only play one on the net.

I think what he means, if that’s what he said, is that he is working out trying to add muscle and just changed his diet. Not that he simply ate, because if he was able to add 12 pounds of lean tissue by simply eating chicken and vitamins he would’ve been malnutritioned to begin with.

Chicken is good source of non-red meat protein, not unusual for guys to go to more chicken if they care about the drawbacks of red meat
