I'd say that instead of doing proper weightlifting he does rediculous stuff. I can't say anything about the rest of his training. Most people here recognize that weightlifting isn't the most important thing when it comes to improving at a sport (unless that sport is a strength sport). So we're only talking about one part of his training.
I know next to nothing about training for football, and I wouldn't presume to be able to help someone get better at it. But I know something about lifting weights to improve general strength and athleticism, and I know he would be better off we a quality strength coach.

wow that is one of the most level-headed response i have heard. good reply. sticking the subject and argument without attacking the poster. you have to be at least 30.
i honestly think once u have your strength foundation. going from a 400lb squat to 500 lb squat will do very little to your sport performance relative to the hours it will take to get there. while doing dynamic/explosive workouts will do wonders.
