"He had 600 pounds on the bar plus the (66-pound) chains so that’s all that can fit on the bar," Jackson said. "We thought we had it on there secure...but the clamp falls off and two of the plates slide off.


All this tells me if your S&C team doesn't know what they're doing. 600# is more than manageable on a standard weightlifting bar.

Has your staff never worked with anyone strong before? Weird to see this problem at a Power 5 school.

Did you even read the article?

It says they can put 600 and 700 on the bar. He reps it with ease. They need a different bar to allow him to workout even heavier and also for maxing out.

This.
Daylon Mack is a legitimate 5* talent and I expect him to be a fricking badass on the field as well as the weight room.

Larry Jackson is not. He's got a great nickname and not a lot else. The difference between a LSU and Moffitt's S&C program and Jackson's is night and day. I simply haven't seen any incremental improvement in the Aggie football players year-over-year under him and you continue to see the same injuries to the same position groups over and over. I think he's one of the biggest weaknesses on A&Ms current staff.
