Title: Grant Gregory arm strength just proves
Post by: opcat on October 09, 2009, 03:36:25 PM
Arm size doesn't correlate.

Most of the qb's with the strongest arms don't have huge arms.

The guy is getting bad advice in his career for working on size doing reps of 8-12 instead of pure strength in fast twitch  muscles in the range of 1-5 reps.

Dude would be NFL prospect if he didn't waste it on being big instead of stronger.

I think you may have this backwards. people trying to put on lots of muscle mass do 1-5 reps, but guys trying to tone out and get stronger do higher reps (8-12).

I think you may have this backwards. people trying to put on lots of muscle mass do 1-5 reps, but guys trying to tone out and get stronger do higher reps (8-12).

and you are 100% backwards. Usually reps of 8,10,12 are done in the 70ish% of 1 rep max which translates into "hypertrophy" or enlargement of the muscle tissue. Sets of 1-5 are done at higher 1 RM %'s and results in higher recruitment of Type 2 or "fast twitch" motor units, not the tearing down and rebuilding of muscle tissue.

BTW, If you ever hear anybody try to tell you that speed is developed thru light weight, fast movements... simply plug your ears. Speed and power is developed at very high intensities and loads, and takes place in a state of fatigue. That is why powerlifters do super high set amounts and reps of only 1-3ish.

The original post makes sense to a certain point, but i guarantee he is not only doing higher rep lifting... the strength and conditioning program is not that dumb. But, if he does have a history of bodybuilding, it could of diminished his throwing skills.

thanks for the advice but nothing i said is backwards.

Everything i said is correct.    The lower reps grow some muscle size but not as much as the higher reps in the 8-12 range. The strength in the lower range is neural and the muscle fibers are more dense. That's why powerlifters don't have Arnold type arms.

Beat me to it.

Throwing the ball far has much more to do with shoulder, wrist and tricep strength than biceps.  Biceps are for lifting.  Unless his center likes his ass lifted at the snap, he's probably just building arm strength for other purposes.

I think Grant can't throw the ball hard because his shoulder is Raggady Ann. Also, from pictures I've seen of Grant in the past, I think he might have been in to body building a little more than football. (http://blogs.tampabay.com/usf/images/2009/01/29/grantg.jpg)

grant's never been into bodybuilding.  everything he's ever done in the weight room is to make himself a better football player.  his neck looks like that because he never skips a single set of neck iso in the weight room like 99% of football players out there.

trust me fella's he's not really that big,  6'1" 205-210 lbs.  he eats a clean diet and works out (running, lifting and throwing, not just curls) constantly so he's got no body fat.

he's got a few tattoos on the inside of his biceps.  the question mark is a reminder of how many people questioned his ability to play QB at the d-1 level.  the words surrounding the question mark are "through adversity there is redemption".  he's been through a lot in his college career so that one is self-explanatory.  he's also got the words "Never Forget" on his left bicep.

I would just add it's also how it's all put together. You should also include the core strength of the body. A great arm is the result of a well developed body combined with great technique and the coordination and the ability to excute.
