Does anyone have any solid conditioning methods that don’t require a prowler, sled, or sandbags etc…
I’ve tried running sprints but I just get bored/feel unchallenged after awhile.
any ideas?
edit: just gimme something i can destroy myself with please…i miss football.
-hill sprints. if you aren’t challenged, find a steeper hill.
-burpee intervals.
WOW, i’ve never seen somebody run multiple 100, 200, and 400 m sprints and feel unchallenged. Maybe you should work on trying to run olympic times.
I guess your young so you cant push a car, but it’s great conditioning specially if you go full speed. Do 3-5 minutes pushing facing the car and the same time pushing facing opposite the car.
Crab walk 10 Vertical jumps back to back sprint 100 meters forward 50 back.
I mean like one DeFranco’s site he recommends this
10-yard sprints â?? 10 sprints with 1 minute rest
20-yard sprints â?? 6 sprints with 2 minutes rest
40-yard sprints â?? 4 sprints with 4 minutes rest
and those are each different workouts, super easy. Point taken though.
-hill sprints. if you aren’t challenged, find a steeper hill.
-burpee intervals.

thank you, this is exactly the type of shit i was looking for.
another thing would be like Gureilla Drills, or stuff we do in jujitus:
-Shrimp, reverse shrimp, high crawl, crab walk, reverse crab walk, bear crawl, walking lunges, buddy carries …
What are your goals, exactly?

The DeFranco ones are speed workouts not conditioning.
Google “Intensive tempo” that will be more along the lines of what you are looking for.

Interval training!
30 seconds pushups
30 seconds shadow box
30 seconds squats
30 seconds shadow box
30 seconds core exercise
30 seconds shadow box
30 seconds jumping
30 seconds shadow box
rest as needed and complete as many rounds as you desire. Raise or lower the time spent at each event as you desire.
You can vary the exercises however you like and even throw in some kicking in your shadow boxing. You can make the intensity as easy or as hard and you like just by trying to complete as many reps as you can at each round – for example, throwing more punches or doing more pushups, etc.

My main goal is to gain mass/muscle. I want to do some conditioning for the sake of being conditioned/minimize fat gain.

ah, apologies for idiocy on my part then.
No apologies needed man; check out the intensive tempo stuff and sample sprint conditioning workout could also be:
60 second sprint w/ 2 minute rest periods; 6-8 total reps in a session, done twice per week.
If you can do the sprint up a hill or dragging a sled that would be best as unweighted full-speed sprinting can be hard on the shins and feet if you’re not used to it.

Ok, sorry for the late reply. Now, that might sound corny, coming from a fighter and all, but… play Judo. No, relly.
In the club I played in, training was something like this:
I don’t know about the US, but here, Judo clubs are quite cheap (like, $250 per year). That’s a very little investment that’ll give you huge benefits, conditiong-wise. Also, since you’ll be using just about any muscle in your body all the time, you won’t really risk losing muscle mass.
Just give it a try,
hope that helps.
I agree with the car pushing… it teaches good acceleration mechanics which is a must for sports. Try progression sprints,shuttles,sprint a 100m every 25 yard break down into a burpee do 10 get back up and sprint as fast try timing yourself. Or you can do position training if a WR try running routes with a timed limit to get back and set up, LB try coverage with somebody guiding you on going to your right,left or moving forward with a sprint. DE try 45 degree starts sprint to 10 yards doing hand movements the spring up field as you where in pursuit of the QB, RB or what not. Here is a website of football sport position training.

It really is. I also have two of his books, Never Gymless and Infinite Intensity. Goldmine in my opinion, it’s like the conditioning book you must get, like Starting Strength is for strength.
i second burpees - 100 reps for time would do it or a combo of press ups, pull ups and squats for certain reps or time to keep the pressure on.
I recommend gymnasticbodies for bodyweight training - its fantastic
