The sight of a man on a treadmill is generally not unnerving.
But if offensive coordinators charged with containing LaMarr Woodley had watched his workouts between the end of offseason practices in June and the start of training camp, they may have shuddered a bit.
The reason: Woodley running on a cranked-up treadmill with a steep incline proved to be more than just symbolic of the rapid climb the outside linebacker has made since cracking the Steelers' starting lineup in 2008.
"It's like running up a hill, and one thing about that hill is if you stop running you're going to fall," Woodley said of one aspect of his training regimen at Athletic Republic outside of Detroit. "It was a great workout. I feel better explosion-wise."..................
...................Woodley quickly bought into Mann's plan for him, and he worked out at Athletic Republic, a science-based training facility, four days a week from the middle to June until late July.
Part of his regimen included running on Athletic Republic's Super Treadmill, a seemingly diabolical machine in which the incline can be set as high as 40 degrees and the speed as fast as 28 mph.
Woodley, the only player in NFL history to record multiple sacks in four consecutive postseason games, said sessions on the Super Treadmill left him "gassed." (Woodley is such a wimp. :lol:)
