Why This Routine Works

This routine has been designed for those who wanted the size and strength of many professional football players. With this routine you will focus on explosive movements that incorporate speed and strength.

While also incorporating the explosive movements you will also be mixing in other lifting techniques such as ascending pyramids, increasing weight as you decrease the reps, to help improve strength and building of dense muscle.

Through performing this workout program, you will also be training your weak spots or injury prone areas to help keep you strong and healthy all season long.

During this workout, you will target each muscle group twice a week, to help stimulate muscle growth and strength, which is crucial while on the football field.

Though this workout routine contains mostly strength training days, you can add in cardio training for an increase in endurance and stamina. When performing your cardio day, you will want to focus on HIIT (High Intensity Interval) training which will spark the burning of calories keeping you lean and fit. High intensity interval training is also beneficial for improving your overall endurance through periods of walking and fast sprints.

For those who are football players this routine can be followed during the season or while resting for the off season.
