On Sunday morning, the San Francisco Chronicle had a feature on trainer Frank Martisciano who has trained with Leon Powe (who had a really good game last night) and Gilbert Arenas.  We all know that Gilbert is a workout buff, but what Gilbert did when he was with Frank makes his everyday routine look pretty easy.  Just check out this description from the article:

Players train five days a week, often in the late afternoon, for four to eight weeks.

It’s a retreat for many. Locations, which he often creates fictitious names for, aren’t divulged because he doesn’t want people bothering them.

Scaling the 55-degree, 116-step wooden staircase at Moraga Hill, Goods chases Washington State’s Kyle Weaver, who has a 15-step head start.

Matrisciano barks: “Who wants to get paid? Who wants first-round money?”

At one site he wants known as Post to Post, Matrisciano has players sprint from one marker to another. They hold heavy objects like orange pails filled with sand. At sites he calls just Beach No. 1 and No. 2, Matrisciano puts harnesses on players and tugs on them as they do sprints up sand hills. Other times, Matrisciano sits on the beach, latches on cords and has players pull him across the flat sand for 50 yards. There’s a vertical hill called Backwards Hill where players backpedal up and down.

“If we can do a full (workout) of this,” said Derrick Low, a former guard at Washington State, “imagine what it’s going to be like when we’re on a flat surface.”

The players’ only break during these sessions is when they’re stretching with Yasmen Mehta and Dominic Daprile, massage specialists, and Dagmar Wittner, a chiropractor.

During the day, players have training with Phil Handy, a basketball skills coach, and former NBA coach Bob Hill. Their improvement in conditioning is a given.

“They’re stronger, quicker, more explosive,” Handy says. “We hit them hard on the courts. They get a dose of both worlds.”

Whatever you want to say about Gilbert, you can’t say he isn’t dedicated.
