I cant tell yopu what weights to use, you have to just figure that out as you go.


Lets say you can bench 185 for 8 reps and you fail on the 9th rep..
that might be a good weight for doing 5 sets of 6.

I always assumed that squats and leg presses reaped the same benifit ... BUT ... after joining this site and reading up ... i relize they are on 2 whole different levels ... squats workso many muscles ... yeah squats are definitly going to be part of todays workout plan ... and from here on out

If you're training for football then you need movements that train your body as a unit. There are many things you can do in addition to your standard compound movements: squats, deadlifts, good mornings, flat pressing, overhead pressing, rowing, pullups, etc. You should definitely look into olympic lifting and other total body movements like overhead squats, turkish getups, pushing around cars, etc.

I also think plyometrics are very valuable to a sports-oriented training program.
