Bernardeau hopes strongman skills pay off on field

In anticipation of a greater role with the Panthers this year, the second-year blocker has undergone a remarkable year-round conditioning program — which includes winning a strongman contest. Bernardeau started with the unorthodox training regimen to prepare for the 2008 draft, and liking the results, has continued. So while the rest of his teammates go on vacation over the next month, he's going to be flipping 600-pound tires and pulling trucks with a rope.

That's likely to change this year, as he's slated to be the top backup at center and both guard spots. He'll be filling the role once held by Geoff Hangartner

I saw this article and it looked pretty interesting, Bernardeau should have taken all the back up Offensive Lineman up their with him. Leave Kalil, Wharton, Vincent, Otah, and Gross to work with the Panthers O-Line coaches. Then send guys that have already made the team or have a legit chance of making the team up their to train such as...Mackenzy Bernardeau, Geoff Schwartz, Gerald Cadogan, Jonathan Palmer, Keith Gray, Duke Robinson, and Justin Geisinger.

Magnus ver Bernardeau?

I've seen UFC guys train like that. Could be interesting.

I am not sure why he put the name Magnus in their. I think it may be a comparison to Magnus Samuelson (one of the World's Strongest Man Champions and also the winner of the Swedish version of Dancing of the Stars, not that, that is really important.)

These types of workouts are great to mix in with traditional weight work. It really shocks the muscles and uses muscles involved in football that a traditional workout might not touch.

We used to push pick up trucks, flip tires, etc. during the days we weren't in the gym lifting.

      I don't think the Jags are picking ahead of us anyways, at least not if Lawrence plays the rest of the year (or most of it). Here are the very winnable games left for the rest of the teams ahead of us in the draft right now... Jags (2 wins) - Titans x2, Raiders, Jets, Colts Giants (2 wins) - Cowboys, Saints, Colts Titans (2 wins) - Jags x2, Colts Browns (2 wins) - Saints, (Dolphins if they sit Tua as it's 2nd to last game) Raiders (2 wins) - Jags, Saints Patriots (3 wins) - Colts, Rams (it's home this week, 1pm game, Rams on short week) Saints (3 wins) - Browns, Giants, Raiders Jets (3 wins) - Colts, Jags, (also Dolphins last week if no Tua) The Patriots are the only team there that doesn't play another one of these teams, and the Browns and Jets are the only others that don't play at least 2 of them. We're not beating the Chiefs or Eagles.  We're not winning road games against the Cardinals or Falcons with them fighting for playoff positioning (assuming the Cardinals aren't locked into their place by week 17).  I also, personally don't think we're beating the Bucs in either game. Which just leaves the Cowboys, we lose that game and we're picking Top 3 or 4 at worst, still a legit shot at #1 because as of right now, the Jags are the only 2 loss team that we'd lose the SOS tiebreaker to. Even if we beat the Cowboys, with how many times all those teams play each other, or have other winnable games, I think we still end up 4-6 (although Dallas losing out without Dak would screw us as they'd be ahead of us and think T-Mac is a perfect pairing with Lamb who plays in the slot and they need more weapons). Yea, if we end up beating the Bucs or have another surprise upset too, it will end up dropping us further back to the 10-12 range Of these teams, the Titans, Browns, Patriots, and Raiders are the only ones I think would consider WR.  The Raiders would prefer a QB, the Browns and Titans also could go QB if they end up that high.  I'm hoping if the Patriots end up above us, they go OL to protect Maye, that could come down to if they're able to find a good LT in free agency before the draft. But the Patriots does feel like fate as both Gronkowski and Bruschi are two of the best Wildcats of all times who then ended up Patriots legends. I've made it clear that I'm not high on this QB class, the last time they said a class was like this one was 2023 and 2 of the Top 4 picks have already been benched and Stroud is struggling this year too. So I'm hoping we end up 3rd with QB's going 1-2 and Deion pushing us not to pick Hunter so we are almost forced to take T-Mac.  And if we lose out, there is a very real chance that's exactly where we end up when you look at the remaining schedules of all these teams.
