I started this journal at a few other places. I will post it here hopefully help me out with my plan later on.
This year is my freshman year in football. I played two years of midget football before this so I know most of what I am doing. I play offensive tight tackle and a little bit of defensive nose guard and tackle. Main focus is getting stronger and bulking up. I am 200 lb. but that is the average weight of my freshman football team. I am going up against 260-280 lb. guys on the line. I am third string right now for offensive tight tackle (spots taken by a 280 lb. guy annd 260 lb. guy). So my main focus is to gain muscle mass and bulk up till the end of the season. Then in the off-season I will get down to around 12-15% body fat. My main love in football is lineman, I doubt I want to play anyother position. So I will probably bulk up in-season and diet down off-season.
My body fat percent is around 23+ % and I weigh 194 lb. So I need some definate muscle mass this season. I am pretty weak compared to the other guys on my team. They take creatine and train pretty heavy. Right now i have increased my lifts by 10-20 + pounds then before the season. Bench went from 90 to 110 and squats from 90 or so to 160, dead lifts were 135 to 145. Cleans from 45 lbs. to 75 lbs. So far pretty good. So I think if i stick to increasing lifts with good volume I can get strength and size up for the season.
I got a diet layed out for me, all I need to do is buy some groceries and I should be set if I get consistency down. I read a lot on the internet and think my diet is ok, not the best. I think I am getting enough protein in, but I need to calculate all that. Will need more carbs this season also, fats I keep moderate. 70-90 grams a day.
Traning is what I need help on. I want a program i can use to gain strength and mass while not over doing it in the season. Just stick with some compound exercises that are good for football. Like bench, squats, cleans, jammers, etc. I got a gym membership also got the high school gym which is pretty good too. They got the jammer machines at the school gym, just regular hs equipment at my gym.
Supplements are pretty good for me I believe. Nothing special really. Protein, creatine, amino acids, vitamins, andtoxidants. Got a few reveiws and a log on cre-ethyl thunder coming that I will post up here.
Got a workout today and will start everything on tuesday. When I am in school it seems easier to keep track and stay with all this stuff. Right now it's my time to rest from under sleeping and practices. I have only been getting 7 hours of sleep the first week of school. Slept in ovr the weekend and planning to go to bed around 10 at night for school. We will lift with the team occasionally, nothing is mandatory this year.
If you read this then you could possibly help me through the season. I will post up my diet/supplement plan in a minute. I need a good base for a training regimen.
Thanks :buff:
