Frank Pomarico played left guard for the Irish during 1971-73 seasons. These days weight training is a given for every football player in the country at any level.
Teams have specific strength coaches, technical programs and strict schedules for lifting.
Today s player also must follow rigorous dietary rules. Of course none of this was in existence while I was in school in the early 1970s. Without wide spread weight training, smaller guys, myself very much included, were able to make their mark on the football field by gaining an advantage in the weight room. That edge has long since vanished. During the 1971-73 season there really wasn t a regimented science to lifting weights.
