Why do we lift?

Weight training is an essential part of any successful high school football team’s training program. Proper weight training can help players increase their strength, speed, and explosiveness while helping them prevent injury. Weight training exercises such as bench press, power clean, and back squat are especially important for high school football players, as they help to build the strength and power needed to compete at a high level.

The bench press is a great exercise for developing upper body strength, which is important for tackling, blocking, and throwing. Power clean is an exercise that helps to build strength and speed, making it ideal for football players who need to be explosive on the field. Finally, the back squat is an exercise that helps players to develop leg strength and power, which is essential for running and agility.

In addition to developing strength and power, weight training is also important for preventing injury. Stronger muscles and ligaments are more resilient to injury and fatigue, helping to keep players on the field.

Weight training is also an important part of a successful football team’s culture. When players work out together as a team, it can help create a sense of camaraderie and unity that can be beneficial both on and off the field.
