WORKOUT
What Is The Best Workout For A Football Player Looking for Maximum Strength, Speed, Agility, Endurance, And Explosiveness? Be Specific.
Football players require all around athleticism no matter what position they play. Certain aspects may be more important to one position than another, but still plays a large role in the abilities of a player.

Everyone always say things like linemen are all about size and strength (both defensive and offensive), but when you see a big play by a lineman it's usually because they show what they can do with other talents as opposed to simply using size.

Football is played as an explosive sport; plays often last between 2-and-15 seconds. In most cases all the strength and power is put out in a few shots then you get a chance to rest up and do it again.

For this reason, the best system to use is a 5x5 program allowing the body to exert maximum force in multiple sessions. In addition, I aim toward getting between 20 and 40 seconds of rest between each set. It is important to make sure you work every muscle, when athletes avoid this they often end up seeing injuries and torn muscles.

The following workout is what I used over the past off-season and I also plan to use this year to prepare myself for semi-pro football tryouts. I would not suggest doing this routine during season as it may be too taxing on your body and CNS, which would result in overtraining.

Before beginning, I always suggest doing a proper warm-up consisting of dynamic stretching to get the muscles warmed up and running; and also, always workout with a partner.

The basic set up of this workout is to incorporate 3 days of weight lifting, upper body, lower body and full body/explosiveness, one day of plyometrics and another day for speed and agility work.
