Just curious to know.
I am not really sure how much I could lift and recover from, so I was just curious to know how often you manage?

when i played, we were the best program in the area and one of the best in the state (we still are) but we lifted prob about 2-3x a weeek, maybe sometimes more. and we all had no problem recovering. sometimes we wouldnt have to lift, but for the most part, we lifted during the season. but nothing too intense to kill you, most of that was during the summer.

Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, we lifted relatively heavy (about 70% of max weight). Thursday was just uppers and then Friday was just walkthrough. That way when we are done lifting we would go through practice. Workouts normally took place at about 7am and practice was at 4-415.
Quit complaining and lift!

5"8 160......
Yeah, no way you can just lift as usualy in season more than 2 times a week.....was your team on Dbol or something.
Id say 2 times a week VERY LIGHT and VERY BASIC WITHOUT any explosive work since thats what your getting in football anyway through drills.
If you read articles on Russian periodization they discuss in season work for different season lengths...they conclude its actually beneficial to go REALLY light on volume and intensity for a season thats like 12-16 weeks like football.
That first 6-8 weeks back would be HEAVY AS **** though.
Some people on here act like DOMS isnt real or doesnt have an affect on performance as far away as 72 hours out...it does.Last edited by zaxx19; 05-16-2007 at 04:33 PM.

4x max in season
Champions are not born. They are built.
You wondered if all the pain and sacrifice is worth it...now you know.
Gold medals aren't made of gold. Not really. They're made of sweat, dedication, and a hard to find alloy called guts.
Everybody wants to win. But not everybody is willing to do what it takes.

We do the same type of workout as we do off, except volume is cut way down. Typically we do heavy compounds but maybe 3 working sets a the max, along with some light flexibility/explosive type movements. Day before game we just do Hang Cleans, DB Cleans, and DB Power Jumps, plus some jump rope until class is over. Gameday we do some quick agility ladders, hammer jammer, and med ball toss. The heavy weights and low sets is a perfect combo, and it keeps us from getting too sore and most of the time we even see 10 lb gains on most lifts, especially on hang cleans.
