We embedded with Florida State crew to chronicle their strength workouts

football quirk: The game lasts about three and a half hours, but each play is a mere four seconds or so. Most of the time the players move slowly. In fact, they spend just 2 to 4 percent of a game at or near max velocity. That's what the analysts at Florida State learned by crunching five years of GPS data. It's up to strength coach Vic Viloria to prepare the players to seize those big-game moments. Viloria uses GPS tracking and other technology to tweak his fitness playbook. It's a sweaty combination of old-school strength principles, progressive training gadgets, and fighting spirit.
We spent a day embedded with the crew to learn what it takes to achieve peak physical fitness, shooting all the fascinating moments from their strength workouts. Below, a selection of the best.
