Yea man i know it, i pass this one street driving to/from school that should be called "fast food road" Its ****ing nuts, any fast food place in the world. I wanna stop there some days and just eat. But i cant, but once you start eating healthier its gets alittle bit easier to stop yourself from eating that junk.

Cut that **** out, its not doing your body any good. But i know its very hard to just cut it out, what i do that helps is get some of your football/lifting buddies and once a month just pig out. It helps me from eating that crap food all the time.

We do reps at 225 for bench and powerclean. Ive tried romanina deadlifts but everytime i do i seem to pull something in my hamstrings. Then itheals and I try again and I repull it. Im not sure if its a pull but my hams get really tight. But i am about 290 and im 6 foot. I hate running but I do about 2 miles a day. And what we do in football conditioning. I have asthma but I can never seem to get my mile time down. I ran 3 miles a day one summer and did 10 40's everyday and never really go in shape. What can I do.

What does you diet look like? If you run and play football all the time, and come home and eat (unhealthy food)until you drop. That will def stop you from being inshape.

Like everyone has been saying for football: squat, clean, bench, and deadlifts will be your best friends in the gym. BUT add agility workouts as well. Because it doent matter how strong you are, you gotta be quick off your feet as well. Im an offensive line (center) and if im not quick off my feet my ass is dead. be strong, Be fast, be dedicated and you will start, no doubt about it.

Im getting ready for my senior year of football and I already have a starting spot because I have been playing since sophmore year. We do a testing in football that tests how many reps we can do at 225 and powerclean at 225. I need a good workout that will help me with that. Also I need to get in good shape to get my mile time down. How can I do that without losing weight or with losing weight but not strength

I am also getting ready for senior year of football, I've got a starting spot on offensive and defensive line..hehe so i've gotta get into condition. But anyway tests how many reps you can do at 225...what exercise? The football combines test how many times you can BENCH 185, so maybe your program is talking about squats?

The best way to get your powercleans up are to do squats and powercleans themselves. The key to lifting those things is to get some explosive momentum and get the form right, it will help alot than just trying to muscle it up there. If you want to get faster I would suggest working out the calves...and doing romanian (stiff legged) deadlifts. They target your hamstrings and give you lots of speed. I started out a few months ago running a 40 at 5.9 and at the beginning of summer (approx 1.5 months of doing those romanians) I could run a 5.37. Keep in mind I am a 200 lb lineman...and I don't know what you play but I can guarantee if you do those romanian deadlifts right you will increase your speed alot..especially if you've never done them before. Hope that helps.

For our lifting schedule we do four cores (dead lift, bench, incline, and squat) and the rest are resistance workouts. Be sure to focus on the four cores and you should be set. Also, get in the weight room a lot, I was a freshman this year and the work I put in during the summer workouts helped me earn a starting spot.

Thank you for the help. Today I go to a weight training camp that goes Monday, rest, Wednesday, rest, Friday, rest the weekend. I still have no clue what they're gonna have us do. (What excercises, amount of rest between sets, etc.)

I believe seal walks are when you lay on the floor and only use your arms to pull yourself along... Imagine seeing someone doing those across the floor in a gym

thanks much!

Power Cleans: The best thing for you to do is get a coach or someone to show you in person. This is a dangerous exercise if not performed correctly, and you should work on your form until you put on heavier weights.

1. Start with the bar on the ground.
2. Stand there like in deadlifts, but with your hands facing you and inside of your knees.
3. Make sure your back is straight. Drive up forcefully and fast.
4. Shrug your shoulders up hard with the bar and drop under it.
5. Swing your elbows under the bar as you bend your knees to catch it.
6. Catch it with your arms bent and straighten your legs to stand up up.
7. The bar should be in the position of a front squat.
8. Then slam it on the floor and do it again.

Box Squat: Just squat down on a box that's low enough for your thighs to be parallel to the ground. Then, as soon as you touch the box, explode up as fast as you can, but don't lock out your knees.

Speed Bench: Just press it up as fast as you can, but don't lock out your arms.
