Mailbag Question:

Hello:

How does the team find time to work out with Mike Barwis, assuming they still do? With School, and practice where do they fit it in? A better question might be: what is a typical daily itinerary in the life of a Michigan football player?

Thanks,

Mike T.

Thanks for the question. Workouts and lifting weights is incorporated into the normal practice day.

At the spring coaches clinic Coach Barwis stated workouts are shorter and players do less sets, but they still go heavy. He also said that a lot of teams don't lift as much during the season, but he believes you still need to keep building yourself up to maintain your body.

In general, players will attend classes in morning. Then, it’s practice and lifting in the afternoon. In the evening they have more classes and they hit the study table.
