Why are you counting total reps in that routine? I realize I’m Old School. I read a brief interview recently with the Olympic Lifting great, Tommy Kono. He said the American Olympic Lifters, in order to gain on the European Lifters, need to stop trying to emulate the European lifters by calculating total workout tonnage, training constantly, etc. He said the American Lifters should go back to the Old School American methods that worked back in the fifties… train 3 -4 times per week, monitor recovery, etc. Interesting stuff.
Frank S., I don’t think you need to worry about total reps in your program but instead should be focusing on improving (or developing) your workout form along with poundages.
I will be able to get into the H.S gym tomorow, im pumped. I’ll tell you guys how it went, and i’ll try to create a program to use in their and you guys can critique it.
One other thing, Frank. Talk to the coach about what kind of offense they run. Find out the pattterns the WR run. There is no better agility training than actually playing the sport. Go out and run those routes. Be precise. If you can, get someone to throw you the ball. That way, you are running the routes, catching balls, and having fun while you build agility and getting into “football shape”
Exactly Squattin. Frank, watch some old NFL films tapes of Paul Warfield. Not the fastest guy by far, but they say that his routes were amazingly precise.
