40 yard dash/ receiver

[spladle29]

ok so im a sophomore receiver in Iowa. right now im 6'0 175 but im planning on getting to hopefully 6'1" 200 lbs of lean muscle as a Senior. my 40 time is 4.9 right now, but if i can get it down to 4.6/4.7 do you think id have a good shot at d1/d2 football? ive already had a few d3 colleges send me letters but i want more than d3 because they cant give out full scholarships.

look at wes welker
man runs a 4.7/4.8 40 and plays pro ball and dominates.

just trust your hands and be confident.

4.7 is borderline good speed.
4.7 is pretty common for speed these days in high school
so i'm sure 4.5 is common in college.

4.2-4.4= excellent
4.5-4.7= good
4.8-5.0= bad

thats pretty much my assumptions for college wide receivers.

wes welker is a monster didnt realize his 40 wasnt like 4.4 or something lol..

that sounds pretty good to me though, surprised i didnt think of somethin like that..

4.2-4.3 is rare even in the pro's
what are your lifts?

you already have the height, if you go INTO college at 6'-somthin and 180-190 but running a 4.7 (you also need a good time on the 20-yd shuttle drill), they'll probably redshirt you because you'd be potential to be a senior as 200-215lb and running a 4.5 which is beastly no matter what division your in

ahh right now its football season so i lift 3 times a week in the AM, i follow our schools workout plan during football season..

monday - bench , squat, snatch, RDL, lat pull

wednesday - power clean, push press(im horrible at this), one-legged squat, tricep pushdowns/extensions

friday - incline bench press, front squat, hang clean, curls, pull-ups,

it goes for 12 weeks and the reps decline..
3x12, 3x10,3x10,3x8,3x8,3x6,3x6,3x5,3x5,4x3,4x2, then on the 12th week we have maxouts..the plan sounds stupid IMO but not gonna lie it gives a lot of results for 3x a week.

you dont squat 335 past parallell (which is how your supposed to do it for football), and then run anything higher than a 4.8

lifting program seems fine
