In-Season Football Program

October 6, 2007

Since it’s Saturday and I love football, I thought I’d post a nice little workout program for the football player.

No matter what leve you’re at, maintaining size and strength levels is important. The trick is to find a balance between lifting and the grind a player goes through during the season.

In-season training for football presents some interesting issues. It is essential that a football player maintains or increases strength during the in-season period yet, they must do this while putting the body through the extreme stresses of physical contact on an almost daily basis.

That’s where a sound, but brief training regimen is needed. Here is a little one that I cooked up just for you.

In-Season Football Program
Day One:
Overhead Press
Squats or Front Squats

Day Two:
Bench Press or Dips
Rows

Day Three:
Power Cleans
Pulldowns

Notes: Perform this workout three days a week. If you feel fatigued or tired, drop day three from the schedule. Get plenty of rest, eat good food and drink lots of water.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer
