Wsfsb3!

Yeah!, I waited long for this program to come out. I can't wait to start using it.



In his new article, he has a In-season template which I will be using for the next 8 weeks.

Starting stats
Bench Press- 185
Squat- 290
Deadlift- 235
40 yard dash- 5.38
20 yard dash- 3.1
Vertical- 25"
Shuttle run- 4.8
Height- 6'0
Weight- 175-178

I'm assumming the above stats are a little lower because of the season. I have lost 5 pounds during the season so I'm hovering around 175-178.

The in-season template
Workout #1
A. Max effort upperbody lift work up to 5RM week 1 & work up to 3RM week 2
So I will probably use the bench press for this. Every 2 weeks the exercise switches up. So for 1-2 weeks I'll use bench press, and then weeks 3-4 I'll use incline bench press and so on.
B. Blackburns. 2 sets of 4 exercises shown in the video link. each position 10-20 seconds with 1 minute rest
C. Unilateral Lower body movement- 3 sets of 8 reps. Probably will use lunges or bulgarian split squats.
D1. Rowing variation 3 sets of 8-12 reps
D2. Db shrugs 3 sets of 10-12 reps
E. High rep abdominal circuit perform 3-4 exercises and go through circuit 2x.

Workout #2 (2-3 days after workout 1)
A. Box jumps- perform 3 sets of 3
B.Box squats – perform 3-week mini-cycles with the following percentages: Week 1 = 60% of 1RM for 6 sets of 2 w/ 1 minute rest between sets; Week 2 = 70% of 1RM for 5 sets of 2 w/ 1 minute rest between sets; Week 3 = work up to 3 singles w/ 80-85% of your 1RM. Rest 2-3 minutes between sets. After 3 weeks, start the cycle over. You may increase or decrease the percentages depending on how you feel.
C1. DB bench variation – perform 3 sets of 8-12reps
C2. Rear Delt/Upper Back exercise – 3 sets of 8-12 reps (seated dumbbell powercleans
D. Dumbbell or cable lateral raises 2-3 sets of 12-15 reps
E. Abs/lowerback superset.-perform 2-3 supersets of your favorite ab exercise with either 45-degree back raises or reverse hyperextensions. Perform 10-20 reps of each exercise.

This should be fun :)

Pretty good workout today. I forgot what the blackburns were so I did some rotor cuff work at the end of the workout to make up for it. I can't wait to get into the full program.

Workout #1, wa
A.) Bench press- 65x6, 95x6, 115x6, 135x6, 160x6 (had to scream for those last 2 reps)
B.) Lunges- 3x8. I used 30 pounds each. This is my friends highest dumbbells. Next time I need to go to a gym and use more weight.
C1.) Single-arm dumbell rows 3x12
C2.) Dumbbell shrugs 3x12
D.) Abdominal workout; 15 reps each exercise circuit x2
Crunches, Side Crunches, V-crunches, Leg raises
E.) Rotor cuff work 1x12 each arm.
 
Why would you want to lift before a game?

I usually don't get to play in the game (though I did get in last week for a whole series) and the weight lifting isn't intense enough to cause any kind of soreness. We stretch for 30 minutes also before a game so that usually takes away any previous soreness.
 
Yeah, but then you have stuff happening like hormonal responses and nervous system tapering...I don't know how that affects playing ball immediately afterwards, but it seems a little much, unless that's where your priorities are.

YOu don't have to be sore to be overtrained, you can be lazy, apathetic, and all kinds of other stuff.

I didn't do workout #2 like Defranco outlined. I don't do to many exercises yesterday.

Dumbell Bench press- 3x8 with 35 pounds
Leg press- 2x10 with 315
Tricep pushdowns- 1x10
Bicep curls- 1x10
Pullups- 6
Single-arm dumbell rows- 3x12 with 40
Lunges- 1x10 each leg with 40

^^its not in order.

We won yesterday. Destroyed this team. Score was 34-12. We had tons of big plays. I got to go in also. Not at the position I wanted though, I was put in the last 5 minutes as offensive Guard. I didn't do bad but I didn't do good either. I hate that position but if I didn't do it I would have not gotten any playing time at all.
