Thinking of starting football

[darknessWithin]

Whats the best type of player i can be with my 200 pounds build? and 5'10 and about 15-18 % fat
and pretty fast and realy strong (power lifter)

[Amabala]

DT or LB..depending on how fast you are.

[Matt_SD]

Linebacker...But some more information on how athletic you are would help.

[darknessWithin]

not sure about times but i lift 20 kilos with each hand also i do abs with 36 kilos
also i do leg extensions with 130 kilos
I do Seated Leg Curl with 75 kilos
not sure how this translates to a squat
I do Cable Rope Rear-Delt Rows with 67.5 kilos
I do Side Laterals with 12.5 kilos
I do Machine Bench Press with 80 kilos
all of the values are 70% of max

what level of football are you playing? and yes, some mention of how athletic you are would definately help. things like how fast you are (40yd dash, pro-agility) and strength (bench, squat, hang/power clean) would be the best pieces of information if you knew them

Realy no idea on the 40 yards or the squats
im a beginner in football the only thing im good at is power and loads of it

well, with adequate strength and i'm assuming your quick and at your size, i would suggest that you try to play either Outside Linebackerb or Safety

Your speed is really going to matter. Pretty fast is too subjective. Have a friend time you in the 40.

does the waist have anything to do with football?

Football started about 2 months without you. You best be getting in gear or you'll be left waaaaaaaaaay behind.

Depending on your speed you could probably be a defensive end or a Running back. Linebacker would probably be best though it sounds like

[showtyme333]

your 20, JUST NOW going to try to play (college level?) don't know how fast you are, obviously don't squat (yet are somehow a powerlifter), and are asking if your waist has anything to do with football... Tell them you want to play Runningback... lol, then let us know how it went.

[DNClay]

Your machine bench is under 200.... I can bench over 250 on a machine and I struggle with barbell reps over 150.... I guess powerlifting must be in my future?

I suggest you play tryouts first and have the coaches tell you.

[darknessWithin]

Been an athlete for 11 years just not football theres no football here but im moving to one of the usa states soon so i wanna give it a try i do 80k which is 176 6 times which means my max is about 204 yeah weak i guess my chest is my weak point right now

how can you be a powerlifter if you do not squat?

[Tyler44]

Your kinda past the age to "start" football. Youd have to walk on a college team....which if youve never played before, is pure impossible. A very hard, physically and mentally demanding game.....

[MarkA15]

You could probably join some kind of league where it's just for people that want to play football for fun yet competitively, lol. I know for sure there are flag football tournaments where you form your own team and stuff. I don't know if there is actual tackle football you could play (with pads) except in college or some place for adults.

Im also an ex boxer so ive been to tough sports
well reason i want to maybe try some college football is im joining a college and i want to take part in one of the sports being an athlete and all
seeing as football is based on power and speed if you have one or both of them you should be able to play even with 0% experience being very though in nature im thinking this is a very good sport for me
I also play semi pro level tennis but it doesnt look like my college has it ...

You really have no idea what it takes to be even a decent football player. You have to know the game, every aspect of it. I really hope your joking after this last post! Ive played football since the 2nd grade and made All-State honors my senior year in high school and at best, I could have played for a small college if I put on some size and got faster.

^I completely agree, its probably one of the hardest sports to get good at.

[darknessWithin]

I know every aspect of the game the rules the plays everything
So if i have good stats a couch wouldnt accept me?

what position you play?

[Tyler44]

what position you play?

I used to play inside linebacker/tight end. Small school so I played both ways and all special teams except PAT.(serious). Im not trying to e-brag just give him a realistic idea of how hard it is to play college ball.

OP, good luck. Im not saying you wont be able to walk on a team, but it will not be easy. I hope your training now, and know the game. But even that doesnt mean youll be able to make it. You need experience, and lots of it. Everyone here in the states playing college ball have played HS ball, junior high ball, and most likely biddee league football so youll be behind them on expereince note.

[darknessWithin]

Training right now yes mostly explosive movements which training do you recommend?
so should i give it a try?

[Tyler44]

It wont hurt to give it a shot, what do you have to lose?
