anyone have a great off-season lifting program/workout for FOOTBALL?
BFS works great the first time....if you've done it u could do it again, but add a lot heavy hamstrings to the leg days ie. romanian deadlift, stiff-led deads, glute ham raises, revere hypers, back ext. ect. Upper body subsitute a lot of heavy tricep work ie. extentions, california presses, pushdowns, and also add wide grip chins. Your bench and squat will def benefit from this.

There is no focus ie. hamstrings, triceps things that will make your squat and bench go up. You jump for one thing to the next for ex., hang clean, to push jerk, to db extentions.
yea i hear ya. he is a strength coach and worked with the blue jays and BC. i go to a d1aa school. i recently have made some gains with my numbers and i did an old BC training last year and it was simlar to this.
see i have talked with many powerlifters who would say these secondary things are not needed. when you bench you use tris and hammy strings are used in full body movements and are done once a week. but it is a lot but i will say that i have made great gains within 3 weeks. esp comming out of the season 18 pounds lighter and injured shoulder my numbers are far surpassing those at this time last year and I feel that I am 4 months ahead of schedule as compared to last year.Originally Posted by dr.shred
bro, thats great you made some good gains from this approach, but in the future i doubt it would work again for you. Try the westside program, i went up 50 pounds in my bench in one year naturally. I lost bf, dropped my 40 time and have much more power running the ball now.
ok is there anyway to incoporate cleans and jerks and jammer. and i won't touch dl anymore after i hit a triple for 455 and killed my back like a dick.
yo bro u play ball in mass? i am from mass. what school u play at?
Hey JJEB2, right now were doin a more higher volume program for post-season lifting also. Its a lot of high reps and more geared towards hypertrophy instead of strength. When i get back to school we get back into heavy lifting. I play 1-AA also, in the NEC.
hahah me too.

DB bench press you might want to follow with burnout sets of regular bench 2 sets of as many reps as you can do of liek 185 or 225. And also do military press and push press before you bench. I went up SIGNIFICANT weight as soon as i started doing bench in the middle of the workout and after some other sorts of shoulder workout like dumbbell bench or push press. I went from 225 for 9 to 225 for 15 in about a little over a month. 1 more thing, practice going down SLOW on your bench and then gently touching your chest and exploding up. Ill post my workout one of these days its definatly the most disgusting workout im sure many of you have ever seen. Talk about helping my explosion so much and dropping my 40 significantly in a month.
