What is a good lineman weightlifting routine?

Answer 1

im 15 years old and i start on offensive line at my school the thing is, lifting is a HUGE part, but u also have to eat, think of it as you HAVE to be a wall, which is what you are. IF you eat alot and lift alot youll be insane at blocking. work your way up to 210 - 250 and bench press at least 145. work on ALL of your muscle even your hand muscles, most importantly your upper body strength. you have to be able keep your legs fast, you don't exactly have to be blazing fast but you need to easily get 6.0 on a 40 yard dash. don't drink soda or crap like that during the in season, itll slow u down like no tommarow, drink water and gaterade. hope that all helps.

Answerno that's incorrect. if you just eat a ton and lift, you'll be huge, but you'll stink at blocking. when you lift and get big, your body loses its flexibility. you want to get big, but at the same time work on improving your lateral movement, agility, flexibility, explosiveness, and speed. i would do all your core lifting (deadlift, squat, bench press, and clean) but cleans are probably the most important thing you can do.

work on benching, both incline and regular. also some of the best lifts for line men are the deadlift, hang clean, and power clean. they will help with your explosiveness. squats and the military press are also some lifts that will help.
