TRAINING SCHEDULE DURING THE SEASON

By: Rick Court: Associate Director of Football Strength & Conditioning

Question:

What is your training schedule during the season? 

Answer:

We train 2-3 x per week.

Sunday is a total body workout for the entire team. Scheduled in groups throughout the afternoon.
The workout contains:
Complete warm up and pre hab exercises (shoulders/hips/core/hurdles to name a few)
Clean pulls from the floor
multi joint lower body exercise (squat or leg press)
Incline bench press
Pulldown/pull ups and/or rowing movements
4 way neck
Shrugs
Along with other shoulder work and bi/tri/grip work

THE NEXT LIFT IS WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY (BASED POSITION GROUPS)
That lift is very similar WITHOUT THE MULTI JOINT LOWER EXERCISE
Complete warm up and pre hab exercises (shoulders/hips/core/hurdles to name a few)
Clean pulls from the floor
flat bench
Pulldown/pull ups and/or rowing movements
4 way neck
Shrugs
Along with other shoulder work and bi/tri/grip work

There is a NON TRAVEL workout on Fridays as well which is a total body format.

The goal is to continue to get stronger/recovered/physically prepared for the next game.  Each player lifts a minimum of 2x per week. Some Players lift 3-4 x all based on development.
