New member looking for some insight

[fullback34]

Alright.

I found this sight and it looks pretty good so I will post some stuff and see what you guys think.

Here's the story ...

As of now I am 5' 11" about 245-250 ... I am a Senior in High School ... and going to be playing college football in about 6-7 months. I want to be in the best possible shape I have ever been in.

Here's the tricky part ... my Junior year I was just about getting to the peak of my physical fitness training ... I was around 215 lbs and was pretty lean ... I then got injured and broke my ankle that spring ... I had a horrible doctor that should not have put screws in my ankle and didn't fix the ligament I had torn.

Which brings me into my Senior season ... which I just finished and played through with a bum ankle ... which was very tough ... as well as I haven't worked out since the end of November.

So, I had surgery over the Christmas holiday break ... to fix what has happened to myself ... I will be fully recovered and back to 100% and running by the end of January.

I figure that I will be able to start fully devoting everything I can to working out and training from about Feb. till the time I have to be in for camp ... sometime in July ... beginning of August. Which is just about 21 weeks.

I am very knowledgeable with working out etc ... so if you guys have anything you want me to know let me know =)

Below is a link to a word document of my proposed eating, running, and workout plan I have.

The goal is to get back to about 220 lbs ... and be as lean and muscular as possible. I also believe that my getting as lean as I can will increase my speed ... which I really want and need to do.

I have a 20 week program planned out so far in a word document that is about 40 pages ... so any insight on what I should do for the rest of the time in between Feb. and July would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Also if you are too lazy to download the document to view it ... you can view it in this thread.

OK, that is a LOT of information. Have you read the stickies on this site yet? They contain a lot of useful information, especially the ones in the Training and Diet sections. I also answered some FAQs in a thread called 'IM Official FAQ' (search it).

Do you have proper technique and form for those (semi-) olympic lifts? A proper coach would be nice.

Post your diet in the Diet section.

You can do a lot in 5 months with muscle memory. Stick to a basic and proper program, like fullbody 3x a week, that contains mostly compound movements. The program you posted looks decent, but I'd go with something even more basic. Also, it's best to do a dynamic stretching warm-up and a static stretching cool-down.

Finally, make sure your ankle is properly healed(!) Don't rush things.

Good luck.

Inside joke...?

 

[P-funk]

i have seen this thread....or ones like it posted before. Can you post up the Q&A thread to answer some of these questions.

 

[Witchblade]

He's not really asking any specific questions. I do plan on updating the FAQ though. It'll save us a lot of time. Heh.
