The Los Angeles Chargers have found a rebirth this season with the coaching maestro, Jim Harbaugh stepping up as the new head coach. Along with the HC, there have been a bunch of transitions on the coaching roster as well. Out of these, what stands out is Jim Harbaugh and Ben Herbert as the dynamic duo.

Teaming up, they have come up with the best strategies for the Chargers to have a hold on their opponents in the upcoming season by adhering to weight-room strategies. So the Chargers are in the right hands to boost their strength game.

The excellence of the Harbaugh-Herbert duo in the weight room

NFL analyst, Bucky Brooks seems to be confident about the the impact of the Harbaugh-Herbert pair on the Chargers. In the podcast for “Bleav”, Brooks highlighted how the coaches channeled their focus on weight room strategies to give rise to revolution. He stated, “Everyone who has been around Jim Harbaugh knows that the lifeblood of the program is what they do in the weight room.”

Following Harbaugh to Los Angeles, Herbert spreads his impact among the players by carrying out the strength and conditioning workouts. Not just that, the coach ensured to point out the reasons behind every workout. Daniel Wade elaborated: “Everything he was saying was very intentional. Just letting guys know exactly why they’re doing what they’re doing, why they’re doing the stretches, the workouts, exactly what they’re hoping to prevent or hoping to strengthen by doing it.” Before Harbaugh stepped in, the Chargers had a shabby-looking weight room. Herbert has brought to the table strategies to make the players physically tough.

Herbert refuses to lose his sight from the off-season training program. What transpires as “The Home Depot story,” the Chargers’ Executive Director of Player Performance has the philosophy planned out. As for the players, the football field is a place to shine. For Herbert, it is the weight room. The coach has introduced some interesting apparatus to clean up the place because for him, “The room, when you walk into the room, any physical space — to me, if a space is representative of myself, it’s going to be a certain way.”

In an interview, Herbert revealed, “We were leaving the hotel and I said, ‘Hey, we have to stop at The Home Depot, I have to get a Shop-Vac…Loading the cart, we got the Shop-Vac, we got some Magic Erasers and some things that we needed.” Harbaugh has been with Herbert throughout, supporting him in every decision he took and the weight room revamp was no exception. 

The powerful pairing of Harbaugh-Herbert could be a big step in the grand plan of pursuing a Super Bowl for Los Angeles. With the weight room, all prepped up, it is time for the Chargers players to revitalize themselves with some squat and bench press under Herbert’s guidance.
