Including his National Championship ring, Strength and Conditioning Coach Kenny Parker has brought something else with him to Rutgers from Ohio State: The St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

The Massacre is not only a step up in difficulty, it is a workout mindf*ck. For example, the halls leading to the weight room will be lined with Valentine's Day decorations and as you can see in the video, they are greeted by someone wielding a chainsaw. There are affectionate notes "written" by the stations and in players' lockers.

The main difference with this workout is what they call "finishers". Finishers are something that a player will do at the very end of a workout and they are meant to drain every last bit of energy form a player to ensure he has worked out to his limit. The catch in the Massacre is that these are done between each exercise. So after a player finishes his bench press reps, he will do a finisher. Then he will move on to the next exercise and do another finisher. Essentially they are draining the players' energy right before they have to do another station.
