I play rugby union for my school and while it is obviously a very different sport to grid iron there are some similarities. Rather than dead lifting for max strength all through our program, we periodize with heavy dead lifts over the off-season but moving to power cleans by pre-season. Cleans are awesome for football performance with the benefits of dead lifts plus the added explosiveness.
