    bulk? cut? terms not used by football players. Bigger, stronger, faster are used by football players. As for what to do. With one month left before practices you're about 5 months too late for training. For someone serious about football you want to spend at least 8-12 weeks on offseason strength training and then 4-8 weeks SAQ training and power development going into to August practices. With a month left you could look at the speed template in WS4SB3 and whatever lifting you can fit in (which depends on what, if anything you've been doing). On OL you need great footwork or you will be left in the dust by more nimble DL - doesn't matter how big and strong you think you are, if you aren't quick and can't square up you're toast.

    I have started 6 months ago and i would lift and eat and i gained 20-25 and a lot if strength. But i think some of that 25lb was fat and i do want to get rid if it to get faster. But i don't want go on a calorie deflict because it can hurt my strength.I want get leaner to get faster and i also want get stronger so should i eat less to get leaner or more to get stronger.Thats what i was asking

    It's hard to maintain strength during football season and you're soon to enter a period of time when you're lifting and doing 2 a day practices and will need a fairly large amount of calories. So, I wouldn't look to cut. If you think you need to loose some weight do it slowly, aim for 1-2 pounds per week at most. If you can do that you can probably maintain your strength. One thing to do is to eat early and eat clean. For example; if you're eating lot's of pizza, hamburger, fries, potato chips and other things loaded with processed carbs then cut those out and replace with lean meats and less processed carbs (fruit). If you're eating a lot in the evening or before bed then cut that way down (or eat very clean) and save your main caloric intake for before and after workouts. Fuel yourself with a purpose but keep working hard. You might find that you maintain your strength, and maintain your weight, but that you develop a better shape through reducing your fat.

    If you are in high school why do you have a "beer" gut? I hope you're just using that term and it's not caused from "beer". If it is, you may need to address that problem first.

    Other than that, you need to get your nutrition down. HS Students, unless extremely obese, shouldn't be focusing on "losing" weight or dieting. They should focus on fueling themselves the right way. Losing some body fat, MAY help you get faster. However, the best way to get faster is to get stronger. If you apply more force to the ground, you will move faster. My assumption is that you are much weaker in the lower body (legs, glutes, core, etc...) than you think. Focus on fuelign yourself properly and working your ass off in the gym and start doing some agility/speed work on your own.
