Trying to stay healthy, keep gains with too much volume and conditioning..please help

[twister3634]

So for the football off-season I've been training alone, and taken up a power lifting style training, I love it. thanks to everyone in the section who helped me.

I have to start lifting with my team though, and the whole reason I train solo is because the routine is horrible, I've shown it to a few of my Kenis. major friends and even a PHD and all said its way too much volume, and it has shown, after a few months, kids are getting weaker.. im not sure why maybe no juice?

the routines basically ME every day...along with olympic lifts thrown in every day..
his routine calls for 90% of 1 RM every day..
Mon-ME lower
Tues-ME uper
Wed-ME lower
-Thurs-ME upper
Friday-ME lower

the lifting takes place for an hour,
then after that, we condition for 1 1/2 hours,
then to agility drills for 1 1/2 more hours,
everybody except me doesn't eat until 3-4 hours after lifting..

What can i do so I dont overtrain without turning to something illegal? i'm only 17..
I've worked hard for strength gains, please help

Extremely. 5 days a week is WAY too much. Especially all back to back. No time to rest.

Won't make any good gains from that.

Can you not just flat out refuse, and point out the stupidity and flaws in his programme?

[Boridi]

quit football and take up powerlifting

[twister3634]

If i did that i probably couldn't play, I'm the strongest person on our varsity team, even though my numbers are pretty weak.. So any way i can help cope with this for a few weeks at a time?

eat as much as you possibly can, and then some.

if its only for a few weeks you'll be ok, you won't make much progress...but you'll be able to hold together.

if its the whole off/pre season plus 2 a days....you'll lose some strength.

Hmm...

How about we put together a list of flaws for the OP so he can give it to his coach.

I don't think the bb.com servers have enough bandwidth to hold that list

Wow, thought it was just at the school where I teach but it seems the insanity is wide spread. I always ask my freshmen what kind of lifting they did during summer workouts and it's a real horror show.
