Football Training Conflict

[asooneyeonig]

Dont like the assistence work? Sheesh the man is much smarter then you. Are you training for bbing or football? Also I did 5/3/1 for a year and I NEVER did the bodybuilding split only the ones for strength and gained about 15-20lbs, added a lot to my totals, and ended up bigger then I ever did doing bbing type work.

lol. nice. i like this one.

Im going to be printing the 5/3/1 for football this week to give it a read through. Looking to implement it soon myself. I dont play football but since I want a career working with athletes I figured it was a smart move to put myself through some football training.

Smart move

Yup thats what I thought too

Only problem is I don't know what drills and what not. Was looking around for local teams to try and join up and go through a training camp with them, only problem is I most likely suck so prolly wont make the team! lol.. But figured I would give it a shot and see and if anything there is always youtube to get ideas from. I flipped through the 5/3/1 for football book and I didnt notice much on specific football drills so if I cant find a team or dont make a team then will just use youtube I guess

Pretty sure if you have good strength and a good 40 yard time you can walk on to my uni's football team, lol. And there's an idea, too, checking out college football teams in your area. And I think you can spectate with no ID?

Whats a good 40 yard time? And most likely I would have to be a student to join a schools team, although I have thought about checking some youth teams out and asking if they would let me volunteer and help.

I'd actually suggest working with a track team to learn to improve acceleration and speed. Strength coaching is about being able to break down movement patterns in order to implement agility and strenght exercises to improve performance on the field. Especially with football since it is such a highly specialized sport.

Woops, I'm dumb. Totally forgot about the req. of being a student to play on a college team LOL. But I still think you can sit in and watch their practices. 4.5 40 appears competitive, sub 4.3 40 looks like they'd be looking at you playing first string.

Interesting comments by Zir Red. That may be another option

EDIT: actually I'm just tired right now and forgot the intent of my statement, which was just to say collegiate teams don't necessarily hold god-like athlete standards all across the board.
