Message: [QUOTE="Doctor44, post: 1021018, member: 2658"] I'm not sure about this. Football is more about being in shape than putting on weight. There's something to be said for having weight and not getting thrown around by the lineman blocking you and the RBs trying to run you over. However, it's also about being in shape for your body and being able to run around for 60 minutes. Sometimes kids get too caught up in weight lifting, and not maintaining flexibility and other strengths. IE If you bench press all the time, it may difficult to do push ups. Your chest bulks up and you can max a lot on the bench press, but you can only do 10 push ups, that's not necessarily good. It's important to be able to jump, run fast, change directions have flexible hips to be able to turn. Hope it's good weight he's put on (not all gun show muscle) I hope he's going about it smart. I would have gone about my football training much differently in retrospect. [/QUOTE]
