PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The Steelers aren’t replacing their weights just yet, but they have found a fun alternative to lifting.
“Technology is here and it’s here to stay. You either get on board the train or you might as well jump off it,” Steelers Strength and Conditioning Coach Garrett Giemont said.
The Steelers are not jumping off this train. They’re on board, full steam ahead, and Giemont along with Marcel Pastoor are the conductors.
“You need to continue to stay up with the times, stay up with the science behind what’s going on,” Giemont said.
Training in the NFL is now a science. Giemont was looking for a company that could provide something new. He found it with Activ5. Giemont said he helped develop a program with the company that the Steelers now use on a regular basis for Isometric training.
“You can do anything you want to do … if you have an imagination, you can continue to do as many exercises as you want to do,” Giemont said.
With your imagination, an iPad and the Activ5 device, it’s game on, especially for the Steelers.
“Players love to compete and when you have something in a video game type format, they love that,” Giemont said. “All this work goes to the cloud. Everything gets stored.”
The Activ5 isn’t the only cool technology the players use to workout. They also use a light board, which improves vision.
