2/18/01- Wolverine Weight Room at Schembechler Hall 

Hidden in the bowels of Schembechler Hall is a fully equipped weight room where the Wolverines pump iron in preparation for the gridiron.  The room is attached to Oosterbaan Hall, the Wolverines' indoor football practice facility.  

But to call it a weight room really doesn't do it justice.  The room is huge and split up into different areas.  Along one side is row of offices adjacent to a number of computer workstations that the Wolverines use to track their development.  There are motivational signs and reminders on how to properly train as an athlete.  The room is decorated with pictures of Wolverine greats from the past.  And weights- lots of good old fashioned iron. It was really difficult to get good photos because there is so much equipment in the way!

So the next time you see a Wolverine excel on the playing field remember that they probably spent a lot of time in the Wolverine weight room.
