Message from Coach Beason

Please make sure to rack your weights/dumbbells/benches/etc after you use them. It doesn't take long to do this and it helps with the flow and look. Right now, there are A LOT of dumbbells left out and benches everywhere. I know that it is not just football players who use the weight room, but do your part.

Several basic nutrition recommendations (whether trying to gain, lose, or maintain weight):
  • Never skip a meal
  • Get up to eat breakfast
  • Get a lot of color on your plate (eat fruits and vegetables)
  • Drink a lot of water (carry a bottle with you throughout the day)
  • Do your best to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night (get off the phone; turn off the TV; manage your time during the day)
  • Minimize eating at fast food places (a little meal planning can go a long way not only to help you physically, but to help you financially, too)
  • You must eat MORE calories in order to gain weight
  • You must BURN MORE calories to lose weight (this does not always mean to eat less, but it probably involves doing some cardio work for 30+ minutes/day)
  • Make sure to warm-up appropriately for the activity you are about to do (this would vary based on what you are doing)
  • Stretch at the end of every workout (your muscles are the most flexible at that time)
  • Never skip your core/ab exercises (you could actually do these everyday and add to what we gave you)
  • If you are taking a supplement, take it when you are supposed to and the amount that you are supposed to take (you are spending too much money to do this halfway)
  • Don't just be a weight room guy; be a great conditioned guy who also works hard in the weight room (be active)
  • Be goal-oriented
  • Pray for the toughness, discipline, and continued desire to work to reach your goals (nothing worthwhile comes easy)

How To Eliminate Staph Infection

  • Wash your bed linens often (not once a semester; probably once a week or more)
  • Wash hands more often (especially every time you leave a bathroom)
