Quite different training style from when I was playing football. Then I did mostly Rippetoe's advanced 5x5 workouts but I combined lots of football type conditioning and explosive work as well.
IMO, there is no perfect routine. Every person is different so one must continually modify their work depending on how their feeling, injuries, level of athleticism, and their goals.
