Perhaps not pure weights, but Tate has been training with Marv Marinovich for a decade

Talented Forcier pioneers unique recruiting strategy - Insider - ESPN

For nearly a decade, Forcier has trained with sports performance guru Marv Marinovich of Sports Lab in San Juan Capistrano, Calif. Marinovich's training scientific methods stress speed with a heavy emphasis on plyometrics and isometrics exercises.

"We train athletes by stimulating their nervous system; it's not your traditional approach," Marinovich said.

That explains Forcier's quick footwork and escapability in the throes of a heavy pass rush because his reaction time is razor sharp.

The scientific approach impacts power, speed and quickness, qualities Marinovich saw early on with his pupil.

I am truly torn here...

I cannot for the life of me decide which is more ludicrous.... Son of Hormel's defense of "he's never lifted weights before" or "we bout to win the Big Ten next year"

I hope Homan, Sabino, et al have this quote cut and pasted where the entire defense can see it.

Worked out great for Marv's own son...

Marv Marinovich...sane.

Wiki

In his senior year, Marinovich came to national attention when Sports Illustrated published an article, titled "Bred To Be A Superstar", that discussed his unique upbringing under father Marv Marinovich, a former NFL lineman and owner of an athletic research center, who wanted to turn his son into the "perfect quarterback". The article declared Marinovich "America's first test-tube athlete", and mentioned his mother took him to museums, played him classical music and jazz while banning cartoons as too violent and instead viewing films by Alfred Hitchcock and Agatha Christie. His father assembled a team of advisers to tutor him on every facet of the game. In a noted passage, the article described that:

He has never eaten a Big Mac or an Oreo or a Ding Dong. When he went to birthday parties as a kid, he would take his own cake and ice cream to avoid sugar and refined white flour. He would eat homemade catsup, prepared with honey. He did consume beef but not the kind injected with hormones. He ate only unprocessed dairy products. He teethed on frozen kidney. When Todd was one month old, Marv was already working on his son's physical conditioning. He stretched his hamstrings. Pushups were next. Marv invented a game in which Todd would try to lift a medicine ball onto a kitchen counter. Marv also put him on a balance beam. Both activites grew easier when Todd learned to walk. There was a football in Todd's crib from day one. "Not a real NFL ball," says Marv. "That would be sick; it was a stuffed ball."

Tate has gotten used to not being good/big enough.

Done!

"that would be sick", like teething on a frozen kidney isn't sick. Or having your one month old baby do pushups. woah.

I remember reading the original article...some crazy stuff and especially crazy in retrospect after Todd's implosion once he left Marv's supervision.

Looks like he's seen a weight room to me.

All i got to say for next year is... "Watch out Ohio State"

The only thing Ohio State has to watch out for is Michigan's medical cart when it comes out onto the field to carry your scrowngy little [censored]in' ass to the hosptial...

[Jaxbuck]

I just posted the thread in the Pro football forum but its worth noting here in the recruiting forum......since 1999 OSU has had more players drafted by the NFL (70 to 48) and more than twice as many 1st rounders (17 to 8) as scUM.

Just thought I'd put that out there. Now back to the Cirque du soleil reject turned scUM QB discussions.
