ideal linebacker body for varsity football?
Hello everybody,
Im pretty into football and would love to to become a linebacker. Ive been scrawny my whole life. But once i got into football, i got this confidence boost. Im pretty much a hard hitting/fearless type of guy. But this is when i paly with my friends. i need to get with the big boys now.
Im at 5'11 not skinny but of above average build. I come in at 165ish. My top weight was 168 at the beginning of the summer but it dropped cause of my cutting.
I couldnt do football this year but im plannin on trying out next year. Id love advice from anyone out here who plays linebacker or some kinda defense. I need to get big and i dont mind if it means i dont have a six pack. But i do wanna get huge. I gained 30 lbs since my JV season and went from 135 - 165. I gianed a bit of fat but most of it was muscle. however i hit a plateau. Once my cut is done... by the end of the month i plan on going on a bulking phase nonstop.
But i just wanna know what would be an ideal weight for me to get to. I wanna bulk up but not to the point where im too slow to play linebacker. Please help! lol.
