Alabama invests in weight room renovations to make facility "the best on the planet" (strength)

The title of the tweet really sums up the newly released video perfectly of the renovations Alabama has made to their weight room facility:

"At Bama, it's just different."

Different indeed.

The new renovations mark the fourth time in 17 years that the Tide's weight room has undergone multi-million dollar renovations.

Director of sports performance David Ballou walks viewers through the changes that were made in Tuscaloosa from their ten new multi-functional racks designed for efficiency to bring the total number of racks available to 30, to easier to see data for players doing their reps in the rack that shows the number of sets and reps required for the lift, and the velocity that the bar is moving.

"We wanted to commit to them and give them the best possible resources that they have on the planet, and we feel like we've really been able to design a training facility that is the best on the planet," Ballou shares to end the first clip below.

First up is tour of the weight room itself.

Part two includes the sports science portion of the facility.
