Im heading to Indy to work at the combine this year and got the ok to do a Q&A with the participating athletes for an article to be published when its over, so if you have a question for any (or a specific one) of the combine participants from this year post it here and I'll add it to the list.

Hey Jhawk, i see you're a Nike Sparq Trainer. My question for you is; which upper body test do you think tests athletes better? The 225 for reps, or the kneeling medicine ball toss? And/or what would your ideal upper body power test be?

I assume we are talking strictly football, IMO the MB toss is probably a somewhat more accurate method of testing is although neither is perfect and I'd rather see a different weight used. Personally I'd like to see football players have to deliver a one-hand & 2-hand shove into a force plate device that could calculate foot-pounds delivered by each type of blow.
