    I had a weight training class in college and there was this jacked dude that I buddied with. He was a personal trainer and I remember him saying once "I have to have a good physique because it's the best advertisement for what I know and can achieve" that always struck me as very sound logic. I don't know how Tom Brady, a guy that's been at the pinnacle of the sports world for so long, can look at this trainer and think "Yeah, that's the guy I need to be getting advice from". The trainer has the physique of somebody that's been doing only banded exercises his whole life.

      There might be logic to the idea that, if he has this as a separate light workout for just general fitness and comfort, on top of a more serious exercise routine that we just aren't seeing, than none of the stuff shown is necessarily bad. The fact that it kinda sucks as a serious routine also means it likely causes very little fatigue, and so fits in nicely on top of whatever he is actually doing to just smooth over the edges.
      It sucks so bad it kinda loops around to being good.

    To be fair, Brady was always knocked as a bad athlete for a QB. It's part of the reason he was drafted in the 6th round. His game was always timing, decision-making, and competing the hardest on the field. He didn't have to be the best athlete to be the best QB and his style of play (quick throws while avoiding big hits) made it possible for him to perform effectively longer than anyone.

      It makes sense to an extent, because QB is one of the few positions in the NFL where you can get away with this type of workout (at least the slower pocket passers). Brady didn't need elite strength or athleticism at his position and excelled in spite of a mediocre workout because he's one of the GOATs when it comes to skill & intelligence. If Alex Guerrero tried this nonsense with NFL players who rely heavily on strength/speed he would be exposed quickly.

      She's actually not wrong, you can google this. Sitting leaning forward is about the worst position to be for your L4/L5 and L5/S1 intervertebral discs. Standing up is even less compression force and laying down on your back is the least amount of compression force. If you're young, healthy, drink plenty of water, and get plenty of sleep, it's nothing to worry about right now. 30 lbs shouldn't be much to worry about. But trust me, I've seen enough disc herniations from lifters working and just like a rotator cuff tear, it's best to avoid it. Otherwise even after surgery and PT, it's something you have to live with forever.
      So TLDR; she's right but the load isn't anything to worry about unless your ass is really hunched over and you do it for years and ego lift with 35s.

    These critiques are priceless because if pro athletes have 100% silly weight programs, my improvised 70% silly program should be GOLDEN! I should never stress the details ever again.

    Brady's trainer was kicked out of the Patriots facility and this is probably why, im sure the sc staff at the Patriots staff was like Tom's trainer is a clown, but what can you say his client is Tom Brady lol

    The amazing part is Brady has a near worthless workout and a pretty crazy diet, and yet he's the most successful player in NFL history. Certainly a top 5 athlete over the last 100 years.

    Would love to see a critique of popular home workout programs like P90X and Body Beast, any chance something like that could be on the way?
