Football Weight Gain
I'm one of the biggest kids in my grade and one of the better football players and was the only freshman on varsity. When I was freshman I was a solid linebacker but was small compared to the Junior ahead of me and thus I only started 2 games. As an incoming sophomore I plan on competing for a starting job, but I'm slightly smaller than the incoming senior. I've recently started crossfit and have seen my deadlift and squat soar to well over 300 pounds and I hope to see that translate to being a more explosive player. The only problem is I haven't seen any significant weight gains. How would you suggest changing what I'm doing in terms of how I'm working out and what I'm eating to add lean muscle mass without losing speed and explosiveness?
