lol even more at what he does with those six plates. We're not talking cleans or CNJ. He's doing 1-leg isolation QUARTER SQUATS. Not close to parallel. Can he even bench the bar?

Pathetic, even for a distance runner. 85 pound female gymnasts can do better than that.

I doubt that any of them can break 27 for 10000m.

Also they say he doesn't read the message boards and that there are no legitimate accusations on here. Was Salazar taking a shot at Rupp-Certified Saladbar?

He said in a flotrack interview like 7 years ago that he doesn't read message boards....

He's probably not lifting to see how heavy he can go. Those are with a PT, possibly to maintain stabilizer muscles with high reps. Quarter squats make more sense for a distance runner anyway since you never have that much bend in the knee when running.

So he doesn't need heavy lifts for leg speed in a sit and kick race? Boost his hormone levels?

Where are the ladies wrote:

I see glimpses of Rowbury and Moser but no Hasay or Cain.

They are also absent on the Prefontaine starting lists

Anyone know what's up with them?

HASAY is injured

He likely does lift heavy. There's other videos of him out there single leg squatting much heavier weight. He's not in this session. Apparently you cannot read

Salazar may need to include some vitamin D with that L carnitine, just saying casper

Someone came up on me at work. Had to explain why I was looking at pics of really skinny dudes in shorts.....

NSFW.

I thought the article was awesome, I loved it.. Shows how hard work over such a long period of time can pay off.

Umm . . ever heard of the metric system? Those are 10KG plates (@22lbs each).

More great photos of the rest of the team at work including Farah, Rupp, Centrowitz, Rowbury, Hasay and Moser can be found here:

I agree, really cool insight into Galen/ORPJT. I think it probably goes without saying, but I think the US would be a lot more successful on the world scene at 10k+ if this kind of long-term and single-minded approach was taken starting in HS (yes, I know this is unrealistic for 99.999% of people).

Hasay was in Park City but doing separate rehab workouts at the USSA training center.

Also, the gym workout was considered a light day due to the a heavy workout on the track the day before. We are seeing what they do on a recovery day.

Thanks for the insite. Can you tell us about the workout? What type of reps were the men and ladies doing? Distance run, what speed, what recovery?

Their PT is a former Penn State back up quarterback.

They do appear to be 10kg weights, not 10lbs

Every NOPer is a doper.

The one thing we can be sure of is that Coach D**che knows 85 pound female gymnasts
