Eat big, lift hard. It's not a science, it's common sense ... stick to basics and a big appetite, and tell me if you don't grow.

That's exactly it. Any new lifter will do well just getting their diet down and hitting every body part once per week. You only have to get fancy once you start hitting the wall. You really need to just to stick to one thing for a few months then you'll start seeing some results.

You sound like you want us to make up your mind for you on what to have for a goal.

You need to decide what you want, you shouldn't change your routine so often because it is hard to track your progress that way.

If you want to improve in football lift weights, and practice playing football, you want to run track lift weights, and practice running track.

you want to put on some muscle eat a lot of protien in addition to a regular diet, and lift weights...

Hey bro,
Theres not much else to add except to say that whatever you do, if u dont like the results you can always fix it later...to skinny...eat more.. too fat..eat less..low endurance..run more etc.

With that in mind, do 12 weeks of something and see where you're at after. Any results are always better than stagnation.

best of luck bro!

another thing is to stick to the plan, the plan doesnt work if you keep changing it or quitting it. You need to break your 2 week record! no matter what stick to the plan, until you dont see anymore results. Be patient

thanks for all ur advice mates, thanks

right now, i think i'm going to stick to aussie rules footy as the season is coming up. so i'll run hard, lift hard, play hard, and eat hard.

You want to bulk up a hundred pounds wether you know it or not

Richo,

Pretty simple rules to follow where football conditioning is concerned.

Your training should be broken down into cycles depending on the time of the year.

The off-season is time for mass building to be done if that is a goal, and it usually is.

As you move towards the pre-season, training needs to move to more aerobic-based activities.

As the season progresses, trainng is quite football specific, with maintenance of strength levels and fitness, and rehab of any injuries that occur. Also, any identified weakness can be addressed during the season, but may have to wait until the off season to be a focus.

There is quiate a lot of info about on training cycles, and probably good to read some info on cycles for sportsmen and on season / off season planning.
