It's easy, and only takes a few moments.If that story about the squats is true - it only backs up the conflict that Brady had with BB and Pats EXTREME OLD SCHOOL philosophies of physiology and athletics. But seriously, does a punter need to squat as the only way to build muscle or improve punt distance?
Squats probably harmed Gronk also
That's an expensive training staff we've got if they're wrecking high priced skill players with dumb training regimens.
Squats are a great workout. Probably the best single lifting exercise to destroy your knees. Is this now disputed?
The green is Belichick’s; the blue weights are what Mayo uses in his squats.
Squats as an exercise are indeed superb. The issue is the workout into which they are incorporated and the performance requirements of the workout-ee. For example, trying to turn Bailey into Tom Platz and then sending him out 3-4 days later to punt is maybe not the best application of the exercise. It sounds to me like the strength and conditioning program might be aimed more at achieving PRs than at functional strength.Squats are a great workout. Probably the best single lifting exercise.

You have no idea whether the strength and conditioning program had anything to do with this, or if Jake Bailey was freelancing to be be one of the guys.Squats as an exercise are indeed superb.
