Here's the conversation that I had last week with Iowa State's director of strength and conditioning, Yancy McKnight. I think you'll enjoy this behind the scenes look at the program.

Good stuff! Thanks Chris

Thanks, Chris. I would think the success last year on the field really makes the winter workouts more enjoyable (not the word I want but I can't think of how else to say it..

Loved it Chris! Thanks! Can't wait to see how much faster and bigger the guys are this fall.

Is anyone else a little shocked that we don't have a training table? I wonder how much it would cost to provide such a thing because I'd have to think it'd make a huge impact if you could monitor and make sure guys are eating what they're supposed to, not merely suggest what to eat.

I was surprised with this as well. I thought from my days at ISU (early 90s) that there was a training table in the old RCA.

I am surprised as well. I hope that nutrition for some of our OL is more closely monitored.

I think they have a training table once the fall starts. But this about the off season and lack of a table.

Someone feel free to correct me.

Me too. Diet and Nutrition is everything. Big surprise to me.

I am pretty sure that the NCAA dictates that you can only have training table while the athletes are in season for all sports and they allow football during spring ball as well. I wish athletes should be allowed access to training table year round if they train year round.
