It&#8217;s been a long time coming and it&#8217;s going to be huge,&rdquo; <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> Strength and Conditioning Coordinator Tommy Heffernan said. &ldquo;Outside of practice, they spend the most time with (the strength and conditioning staff). So that&#8217;s going to be huge as far as getting them ready in the offseason.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The facility includes more than 22,000 pounds of free weights and each of the 24 power racks are equipped with various modes of resistance training. The racks allow a student-athlete to complete an entire workout within that section of the layout, creating more efficient use of time and available space and allowing greater availability for teams.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The thing that stands out to me when we do a weight room is the strength and conditioning is for everybody, and it\u2019s used more than any other facility in our athletics department,&rdquo; Athletics Director Craig Angelos said. &ldquo;This is the one that affects everybody.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Kahu Kordell Kekoa presided over the blessing which included remarks by Heffernan, <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> President David Lassner, Angelos, State <abbr title=\"Senator\">Sen<\/abbr>. Ron Kouchi and <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> women&#8217;s volleyball player Kate Lang, representing the <abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> student athletes.<\/p>\n<p>The facility is named after the late Alexander C. Waterhouse, who worked with then-<abbr>糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> football coach Bob Wagner to develop the vision for the weight room.
