Tennessee added some star power to its strength and conditioning staff with the reported news that Rock Gullickson, a former NFL strength and conditioning coach of the year, is coming to Knoxville after time with the Rams, Packers and Saints.
Gullickson is well known in the strength and conditioning community. He’s actually the guy viewers see at the NFL Combine overseeing the bench press.
And it looks like he practices what he preaches. Despite being up there in age a bit, Gullickson can still move a lot of weight. Check out this video from early in 2016, where he’s deadlifting nearly 500 pounds:
