I'm pretty sure I read the same thing. I am really rooting for Arch to be "all he can be". Not just because it would reflect well on the Rams but because it could legitimze that training regime. When I 1st heard of the program I was dumbstruck. It seemed to be so sensible. Train muscles to remember how to distribute and absorb impact in ways that mimic actual conditions. Don't just lift 225lbs on the bench but throw it into the air and catch it when you are fatigued ... that is strength. That is the strength one needs at the end of the 4th quarter when its time to shed a blocker and punish an enemy combatant.
