Chris Cooley’s body can’t wait for the NFL

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Chris Cooley of the Washington Redskins writes about how hard it is to get in shape after the season. You work your butt off and then attend minicamp and everything is in tip top shape and ready to go for the season and then…there is a 5 week wait. What is up with that? It does seem kind of strange.
With teams so ready to start a football season, it’s amazing to me is that we’re now going to take five full weeks off. The Redskins finished the last official team work out on June 12 and don’t begin training camp until July 19. There’s nothing on the schedule for players to show up for between now and then.
It’s like, bust your ass to get in shape, now take a month off. I mean, if you’re not working every day, a month is more than enough time to lose considerable strength and endurance. Mentally I will be right where I left off for the summer, but it’s unbelievable how quickly my body will forget what it had to go through to be ready for the field.

Chris throws in this weight lifting YouTube. It is pretty cool! When was the last time you squatted over 400 pounds?
