When to Start the Football Workout

Using this plan for both an off season football workout and an in season football workout is acceptable. Just keep in mind it may be tough to utilize the actual football workout schedule during the season, particularly with the spacing of the workouts around games.

This plan is an intermediate level plan but can easily be dialed up or down in intensity by adjusting the rest periods and tweaking the number of sets and reps.

Expert users can also incorporate things like chain squats, chain bench press, etc. for an even greater challenge!

Elite Training is Demanding

Even if you are an offensive lineman that eats a pizza or two as a light snack, it's still important to have a good football diet when following this plan, even if you are burning thousands of calories every day.

Eat lots of clean healthy foods like chicken, vegetables, and whole grains, and find out what supplements will work for you.

Whether its a high school football workout or a college football workout you are looking for, this football workout program will help you to gain explosive strength, increase your muscle mass, and max out your speed in record time!
