20-30Lbs of muscle? Thats pretty insane.. you on any gear?

muscle and lard... no gear... just fatty foods packed w/ protein and exercise and i might start drinkin some kind of weight gainer shakes my friend was tellin me about

Triz you sound pretty serious about football. What Im wondering is why you took so much time off from working out in the first place? Did you have an injury? I met the incredable Walter Payton on several occasions and I asked him what his secret was in avoiding injuries and playing so many games in a row. He told me he never stopped working out. Except for a few rest periods a year he was on the iron all year long. He also used to sprint up a hill with weights around his neck.

Spring training is a great time to get the head right for the coming season. Sounds like your on top of it, best of luck................................Rich

What's up triz. I play football for a semi-pro league here in oklahoma. Maybe you should try doing one exercise per body-part, per-wourkout and go extremely heavy. For example, day 1, bench press. Start out with a few warm-up sets. Then do like 35% of your max for 12 reps, 45% for 10 reps, 60% for 8, 75% for 6, and so on until your hitting the majority of your max. I took alot of time off before and went back to the gym for the first time in like 6 months and started out benching like 250. In two months i had my bench back up to 405. now i'm working out with 405. You can apply this method to all you body-parrts. About the hammy, you'd be suprised how much your core has to do with your injuries. Just keep stretching and work your back a little more with maybe some roman chair extensions and crunches. I've always had trouble dropping excess bodyweight. But recently started eating six-small meals a day including protein powder and never felt better. Now if i can kill the brew!!!
