Training Routine: This Workout Program Gave Me The Power And Strength To Be A Varsity Linebacker While I'm A Sophomore.

I'm a football player, hoping to make the NFL, and I also compete in powerlifting contests. This programs gives me the necessary explosion for football plus unbelievable power. Not to mention, it gives you amazing looks, like you're doing a bodybuilding program. I'm gonna be a sophomore this year, and playing Varsity Football at tight-end and linebacker because of my power. This program helped me achieve it, and I hope I can use it to make it to Division I and then to the pros. My best friend's uncle is a 3-time powerlifting New York Champion, and 1-time National Champ (he only went to Nationals once) and now is going to the Worlds in November 2000. He was kind enough to show me his routine, and it is the very best.

Squirm: 3 sets 20 reps
Straight leg Crunch: 3 sets 20 reps
Low back raises: 3 sets 20 reps

Do all four exercises in one giant set, 3 times (hence, 3 sets). Make sure you hold each reps for a 4-count and squeeze.

Make sure you do cardio on off days. Any lifting program will give you good looks. All you have to do is burn the fat. Everyone has definition, just remove the covering.
