starting spot on jv or varsity? they will go up but strength is a small part of it. work on acceleration, power, stability, speed, coordination and agility they are all equal parts. you dont have to do deadlifts, if you want to do them with light weight. if it is hurting your back in a bad way dont do it, its not worth permanint damage or missing a season

[ftball58]

i started JV this year i need to start varisty next year im looking for any advantage i can get..

any1 graduate off the dline last year? howd u do on jv? and do you know where you stand on the deph charts

[fbdt99]

180 pounds for a dt is fine in highschool since you will probly bew faster than alot of the linemen so you will use your speed but i suggest you change your position if you want to play collage. now d1 dts run 4.8 40s 4.6 shuttles weigh 260-280 bench 300+ squat 450+ 280+ cleans. but skill is a large part of it. work on gaining weight (muscle) more than strength or speed

unless your really slow i'd try to get faster and play LB.

d1 dt's don't run 4.8's. Probably not any that run 4.8's in the NFL. If you're good at DT and like it just slap a ton of mass on and do a lot of agility and speed training.

What is it with you kids and weight in high school?

****ing eh fellas, IT'S HIGH SCHOOL! High school football is ALL about SPEED and STRENGTH. Size is probably one of the smallest determining factors for high school football.

ok D ends run that, DT around 5.0. and after the nfl combine most teams dont test their players 40s

wait so your team ran a 3 man front? and you were the back up dt but they played you on jv? what happed if the starter got hurt? on my team we have 3 backups for every position

[ftball58]

ya we ran a 3 man front ...we never ran into any1 getting hurt.

[fbdt99]

wow kinda weird. how many quarters are you allowed to play in ohio per week?

[ftball58]

i think its 6 a week but not positive but seein that all dline was all seniors they never came out

[fbdt99]

so back to how you need help. do you plan/want to play collage football. how long have you been seriously lifting?

[ftball58]

i would love to play ball in college but i need help alot on my footspood swim and rip moves, and just overall strength.. im think about startin the protein shakes because i dont think im ready for creation i have been seriously lifting for abotu a year know

What does your 40 look like?

[fbdt99]

do you know what yor 40 and shuttle times are? vertical? you should probly read up on bulking in the nutrition section. try a 40/30/30 mix. (carbs/protein/fat) 3500 calories a day. definitly get whey shakes for after you work out. are you going to follow your teams workout or try a different one?

[ftball58]

im gonna stay with the team workout and add front squats and other small things..

[nightrain36]

From a coaches point of view the weight room is important but if it produces no results on the field you're no good to me.

[fbdt99]

what moves do you use when u play? swim? rip? bull-pull?

[ftball58]

im more of a rip type person once in awhile ill throw in a few swims

[nightrain36]

you should do a variety of it all. Of course if you're small it's difficult to swim and if you too tall ripping is difficult. But don't get stuck in one move. Keep the o-lineman guessing. If you're predictable he'll own you all day long.
