Do you think football is better then a 5-day a week workout plan? Im debating I only want to play football to help me get in a shape for lax season, im not that out of it but I dont want to play football and loose a lot of my muscle. and im scared to play football not knowing the outcome of if I will like it, im going to be a senior and i already went to two of the workouts and i question them vs a 5 day routine what you think?

what does the football regimen look like? And what does your "5 day" workout plan entail?

We don't really have the whole story here.

 

It usually consists of 45 mins of pumping iron. and 20 minutes of running. Usually the three core lifts, clean, squat and bench.

Mine is:

M-Chest/Tris
T-Legs/Abs
W-Bic/Back
T-Chest/Tris/Abs
F-Legs

And usually 17-20 minutes of running at the end which is a lil over 2 miles for me.

round is a shape too.

 

Of course it will help you get in shape. Why is this a question?

 

do you like football?

 

moreso than working out on your own?... that's his question.

 

I think so. Obviously he's not doing any cardio conditioning with his workouts, just strength training. He might not be as strong, but he'll be in better overall shape.

BTW, the thread title states his original question. h:

 

Personally you need more of a mix. I've seen a new thing at our gym called "Speed/Reflex Class" in which they do a series of actitivities to make you quicker and more agile. I think that's what you should add to your regime.

 

20 minutes of running is kind of weak if you want to get more endurance.
