This is my senior year and I have played 8th grade, freshmen, and sophomore year. I weigh 185 pounds and am 5'9. It's currently the off season and have been lifting 4-5 days a week. I have 2 months till I change to lifting 3 days a week and running/agility drills 3-4 days a week. This will last about 3 months. Then it's summer camp. All 3 years I have played defensive end and really loved it. But then I started to realize I really don't have the height. I played a little full back near the end of the season at practice and really liked it. Giving the specific time I have till summer camp and my 4-5 day workout and supplements how much more weight do you think I can and should gain to be a great full back? This is for high school varsity. I'm really curious about this. Thanks
Offseason Workout and Supplements (2 more months till spring training):
Mondays and Thursdays: Chest, Back and Bis.
Tuesdays and Fridays: Legs, Shoulders, Tris
Wednesdays or Saturdays: Core
About 4-5 workouts a body part.
I take PMD pre-workout ACG3 and a high protein post shake (41g PMD Amplify XL) every time I lift.

2.5 pounds a month is reasonable. But fullback is more about attitude than size. I do know someone that plays for an FCS school he is 5'9" 200 and he is a great fullback but while he is very athletic the main thing that makes him so great is his refusal to go down on first contact. He blocks the same way. He really doesn't care how big the other guy is when he is blocking.

Yea this, you really do gotta have that mentality that your the baddest mother ****er out there, in HS i always blocked linebackers and loved doing that but in college we run a lot of play where i block the DE's not only is it harder to get an angle on them but most are a good bit bigger then LB's, just gotta adapt and overcome.

Yeah that's what I'm shooting for. I've been incorporating some plyometrics on my leg days but for the next 2 months I'm focusing on bulking up and strength then when spring training hits I'll be doing plyometrics like 4-5 days a week with my lifting and running. Umm I can't remember the date. I'm personally gonna start that 3 day a week lifting/3-4 day running that I mentioned in the first post at the very top in the beginning of march.

In order to gain 15 pounds in 6 months you'll need to track your calories. I would actually say just aim to gain a pound a week. To do that increase your daily intake by 500. If you gained a pound a week you'd gain 25 lbs or so in 6 months. And as long as you stay in decent shape cardio wise, you'll be ready for football. Don't make the mistake I did, I'm only 5'6 and I was a runningback. I trained all year for my first year starting on varsity (I was about to be a junior) but I was afraid of gaining fat. I tried to slowly gain weight and only got to 155 lbs. I did fine but because I was undersized, the hits I took seemed to take a bigger toll than in years past. I ended up gettin my knees taken out and tore my acl. I'm not going to be able to play this year because of it, and I blame it on being so undersized. Just focus on gaining weight, good or bad. You'll get both no matter what. I really wish I would have seen that.

This is how I look at my training to be a college linebacker next year: I would much rather be 200 lbs and agile instead of 210 where those extra 10 pounds are fat. Yes, getting bigger is nice, but it comes at a price. It is a tough balance and I am always fighting myself between eating more and being afraid of getting fat. You need to eat to gain muscle, but only enough to gain muscle and not too much fat.

Don't get mass gainer. Just eat more food (if you are not gaining about one pound per week; if you are, keep eating the same amount). Getting x amount of cals from mass gainer is no different from getting the same amount from other food (besides protein solubility and BCAAs but if you are taking decent whey you are already getting your BCAAs).
Bottom line: Calc ur macros (sticky in the Nutrition section), track them for about a week to get a feel for how much you should be eating, and then stop (or keep going if you don't mind the hassle of measuring your food) and weigh yourself on a regular basis.5' 11", 225 lbs

Mass gainers are great because they give you a lot of vitamins and nutrients that are difficult to get in a normal daily diet. Since I've been on my mass gainer I've gone from 180 lbs to 196 lbs in 9 months.

Yeah my metabolism is pretty high, but your intake needs to be high if you want to put on more size. I use I****ss Xtreme Gainer and it lasts about a month because I take 2 scoops instead of 3 for each serving. I take it every morning and then also after my workouts.
Thanks man, it has been a tough road but if you put your whole being into it and work really hard there is nothing that can stop you.College Football Training Log - http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=152135513
