Rob Jackson occasionally puts up videos on Instagram of the boys training and there was a really great one today of Petracca

 

for those who have Instagram there is some good videos of the boys training also, especially great to see some vision of the boys for us non-Melbourne supporters who only get to read the great reports on Demonland.

I believe Misson approves it, as a Rob Jackson is the MFC Strength and Conditioning coach 

[Dr. Mubutu 855]

I bloody love the fact that Trengove is able to kick footys around.

Kudos to all who are able to give us these updates, much appreciated from regional Queensland.

Mate, kudos to you also. It's been bloody tough being a Dees supporter when you live in Melbourne, let alone regional Qld.

It's not just a "photo".  Click on it.

Oh well, someone has to carry the club.

This seems a ridiculous weight and pressure on knees and back. We are developing a footballer not a weightlifter or weight room junkie. What are they doing?

Nah, its a good move. Its taken 5-6 years for blokes like Trengove to knuckle down in the weights room.

In the past we've had too many blokes who clearly didn't hit the gym. Petracca is just doing what is required, whereas in the past we've had blokes who just coasted.

If players coast in this team - they are going to look out of place, that is exactly the way it should be. Petracca is doing exactly what N.Jones would be doing, they want to go places, these are players we need. If Petracca looks as if he is trying to break his knee, then he'll be confident in his knee come game time. Its practical, this kid clearly models himself off of American sports.

Time will tell Ding I hope you are right, but there are a lot of dodgy blokes in gyms giving poor instruction and in some cases damaging bodies and careers. I have seen so many footballers muscle up with poor weight programs with detrimental results to their speed, agility and game.

Completely disagree. Trengove came to the club will an already mature solid body. Infact if anythinghe probably bulked up way too much and had to lose some muscle to get some run and speed in his legs. Bit like Petracca last year was mentioned by Paul Roos he had to lose some weight aswell which he has done.

I completely disagree with you. 

I constantly wondered why Trengove wasn't putting on muscle.  His upper body was especially poor.

Having done weights for many years it was obvious.

Well, you need worry no more if those photos of him are accurate and not a trick of the light.  He is looking exceptionally well contoured/sculpted in the upper body... just hope his legs can catch up.

I doubt it's a trick of the light...I'd say that he's been doing almost exclusively upper body work for the past two years. 

It's also good to note that his leg doesn't look too skinny despite him having been off it for so long.

I personally don't give two shits if he has a beer gut or a 6 pack as long as he has a cracking year in 2016.

Does this mean the auto-censor isn't working? Or has it just changed it's rating from R to PG during the upgrade?

Shits may not be censored, but I bet [censored] is

I posted a relatively minor swear yesterday that I assumed would be censored and it seems to have slipped though.

I was thinking of asking a similar question to you regarding the auto-censor but I couldn't be arsed.

Bedroom analysts bemoaning professional weights coaches over 5 second instagram videos. Gives me the shits.

[nutbean 8,838]

trying to lift the same weights as Petracca would give me the shits...and a ruptured spleen and a crumpled spine.

I think we'd still go OK if you were out for 4-6
