Just BB, I'm in the same sich you are. I would like to play football for my high school and then continue onto college hopefully. I have been in the process of working out for over 6 months and i have seen alot of results. I play DB as well.

well keep lifting.. keep a good diet, get lots of sleep.  Do more plyometrics and core (ab) workouts.  Do lots of a running (sprints with very little rest between is the best for you).  For instance if u have a football field to practice on.. sprint to the 10, turn around and sprint right back to the goal line.. then the 20.. 30.. so on and then get to 50 and then go 40, 30... or you can just keep going for all 100 yds..

Are you one of the bigger guys on your team?
 
Concentrate on plyometrics, power cleans, squats and do lots of high intensity interval training, to simulate a game...

I think I responded to a post you had earlier about your workout- If I'm remembering right, you definitely need to change that up for the results you need when it comes to football. Do us a favor, re-post your workout here so I can be sure it's you I'm thinking of.

You really need to change that up. Too many muscle groups on Monday's workout, and working each muscle three times a week is a little too much. Your body should respond much better to something like this-
Monday- Chest
Flat bench, incline bench, decline bench
Tuesday- Legs
Squats, stiff leg deadlifts, calf raises
Wednesday- Shoulders
Standing military presses, side lateral raises, shrugs
Thursday- Back
Deadlifts, pullups, bent over rows
Friday- Biceps and triceps
Standing barbell curls, alternating dumbbell curls, reverse curls
Close grip bench press, skullcrushers, dumbbell kickbacks
Sat/Sun- Rest
For each exercise, do three sets of eight to ten reps or so- That is, use an amount of weight that you can only do ten reps with good form on the first set. If you can lift it more than ten times with good form, the weight's too light. By the time you get to the second and third sets, you might not be able to lift it ten times anymore- But that's why we allow ourselves a couple of lower reps in our rep ranges.
Do a couple of light warm up sets before each muscle group's workout- Two sets of ten reps, with a light weight to get the blood flowing.
Rest two minutes between each set.
Or, if you want to work everything twice a week, you could do something like this-
Monday- Chest and back
Tuesday- Legs and shoulders
Wednesday- Arms and abs
Thursday- Same as Monday
Friday- Same as Tuesday
Yes, arms and abs only get directly worked once- But there's plenty of indirect work for them during the rest of the week.

Wear brightly coloured sock or something, people won't miss you then....you may also get targeted however...

Also think about what you will be doing in tryouts. Really work on your bench, 40 yard dash and vertical leap....

Look at incorporating plyometrics once the training gets going

Does anyone have any other tips since this is my first time doing this? On a good note the coach actually came up to me and said "why don't you come and tryout"
