WATCH: Florida football team goes through summer ‘Regimen’ workouts
Before the Gators play in The Swamp this fall, they’re running stadiums throughout the summer.
The Florida football team is currently in the fifth phase of its offseason program, called Regimen. It’s a nine-week training block to get the players ready for fall camp.
The Gators’ official Twitter account shared a video Wednesday of the latest session, which showed the players running a variety of workouts inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
“Let’s go men! Usher Raymond! That good burn!” said Florida director of speed improvement and skill development Tiger Jones, referencing the 2004 song called “Burn” by recording artist Usher.
UF offensive guard O’Cyrus Torrence went through Billy Napier’s Regimen phase as a player at Louisiana. The workouts begin after the team returns from the discretionary period, aka summer break.
“When we come back, we hit the ground running. Coach don’t care if you haven’t been working out or not that first day. They got a conditioning test. So, hopefully you have been doing something,” Torrence said on the Gators Online Podcast.
“Because once we get back at the end of May, we go through the whole month of June. We get another week off for the fourth of July, then we get like three days off between July and August. And once that little time is over, it’s game time once fall camp starts.”
Billy Napier on Gators’ Regimen phase
The Gators started phase five of their offseason on May 25. At the final speech of his spring speaking tour, Napier discussed what the Regimen workouts entail.
“Regimen is essentially a nine-week training block. It’s a four-week, 28 day workload, one week off,” Napier said. “We have some time between that and training camp. We have a weekly routine Monday to Friday. What that entails is we get eight hours a week with the players. Strength and conditioning, skill development, simulated training. Film review. It’s by the minute. There’s also lots of opportunities here for ownership at the player level and for leadership at the player level as we go into this.”
