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.

      If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
