Next year I will be a Freshman at my local High School. I would like to go for the football team. I played my 7th grade year and this year I am dong Wrestling maybe ( 8th grade year ). I am fat. I am 13, 5'5", and 200 lbs (with clothes and shoes ) and want to be a lineman or linebacker. I am a picky eater ( hate pretty much all vegetables due to the taste ). I can eat corn and Green Beans from time to time with juice to wash it down. I can eat bananas, canned mandrin oranges, and canned peaches and pares. I am decently muscular ( not the strongest kid but enough to hold my own ) and can run fast ( 10 MPH tops ) when I need to, but only for a few hundred feet. My gym is Called South Beach Fitness ( just in case any of you go to one ) they have ellipticals and treadmills from Pedcore, weight machines from Cybrek, and free weights. I mostly do weight training since it is more fun to me since I am building muscle. I do about 1 mi a day at the gym total. .5 on treadmill going 3-6 MPH .2 on the stride elliptical ( you can change the stride lengths ) and .3 on the regular elliptical. I usually do weight training until my arms ( or legs ) start hurting a lot and get achy and weak ( hard to do more reps ). I can lift about 45 lbs when I don't work out a little, after a little workout I can lift about 80 lbs ( not bench pressing ). I was wondering what is a routine I should do to train for football next summer ? I would like to lose about 50 lbs and put it back on as muscle only. I would like to work on stamina and speed from the cardio training and strengthen my legs and stomach for weight lifting. The Cybrek machines we have work on your legs by pushing pads out with weights, one where you have a bar you push over your head for triceps, and another that you push straight up from you to work your arms, and one that you push but the bar is level with you. So please help. I have about 6-7 months before football tryouts will start. Please help me put together a routine.
