Answer 1

u got to do power clean, dead lifts, bench press, and squats, those are ur core lifts. u should do those everytime u workout. and then alternate between different body parts. for example

monday-4 sets of 10 power clean, deadlifts, bench press and squats. then do dumbell bench, inclined bench, pec flyes and push ups. choose ur own reps.

wednsday-4 sets of 10 power clean, deadlifts, bench press and squats. then do standing barbell curls, inclined dumbell curls, concentrated curls, preachers stool curls, then do skull crushers, close grip bench press, close grip pushups, and pick another tricep excersize.

Friday-repeat monday, add more weight.

on mon. wed. and fri. do some other leg excersizes, like leg curls, calf raises and lunges.

when u do the push ups, do 100, take as many sets as u need, but everytime u do it, try to get les sets. same with the calf raises, do it until it hurts, stop for 10 sec. do it again, stop there. rest 20-30 sec. with the push ups.

u also need to do some cardio every day to every other day.

try to add at least 5 lbs to every excersize wen ever u do it again.

o yeah, u also might want to train ur lats and ur shoulders, doin barbell shrugs will help out for ur lats, do 12 sets of 10 per workout. do side raises, and front raises for ur shoulders, do 7 sets of 6 for each. also, do ab trainin, bycicles, planks, side planks, look at some isometrics for ur abs.

You can train for football by doing various aerobic and anerobic exercises. Keep your exercises to crunches one day, lifting another, then do a range of sprints, joggs and medium speed running, all followed by a scrimmage every week

Answer 3

Football players need several types of training. They need strength training, endurance training, and speed training. They will also have to work on their coordination with a variety of exercises.

Answer 4

In American football there are a variety of training techniques which are specific to the position in question. Most try to simulate the muscles used in a game and the type of performance needing improvement. most plays last from 5-15 seconds with a 45-60 second rest in between. So complex power movements are targeted. There is no reason for a linebacker to run 4 miles. what is important is a tremendous surge of pushing power from the legs, through the trunk and out the arms. for a wide receiver the need the speed and jumping ability... and so on. most all train basic power movements such as Olympic lifts (squats, deadlifts, clean and jerks, snatches) but the rate, weight and duration of training varies greatly with the position.

In traditional football (soccer) the opposite is true. Nearly all players need enormous amounts of endurance as they run the entire game. coordination plays a huge role as well as the ability to quickly stop and run in any direction.

the bottom line is in all sports the general idea is to improve performance by simulating the types of movements seen in a game situation and maintaining core basic strength to prevent injury

Answer 5

Legs are the most important muscle group for almost every sport. Obviously, squats are the basis for lower body lifts. Football is also a game of explosion. There are lifts designed to make a person more explosive. These include power cleans, deadlifts, explosion squats, snatches ect. Upper body is not as important but Unquestionably helps. The presses are a no brainer but high pulls also are helpful because they help with form when doing cleans. Hope this helps
