Weight Lifting

Weight lifting is an important part in improving our skill like we said before "technique is everything but having some muscle is still nice" well that statement is still true, but you do need muscle to help you. There are several ways to build muscle the conventional ways are workouts like benching and squatting. There is more to those exercises though, like depending on how you want to build muscle you need to adjust the amount of weight you use and the number of repetitions. For example if you want to build more arm muscle you would choose a high weight and a low number of reps, but for muscle endurance you would choose a low weight and a high number of reps. The same can thing can be applied to squatting. Remember though you r legs are a lot stronger than your arms so you should be able to squat more than you can bench. Make sure you just don't bench or squat for a week or two strait because you could tear something mix it up throw different work outs in there like you can do pushups or jump rope for coordination. There are also exercises like triceps extensions that are where you hold a dumb bell or a kettle behind your head and with your triceps you push the weight up. There is also a kettle bell jump that is where you place three pairs of kettle bells on the ground and you take each pair and jump as high as you can every time you go through the three pairs it should be counted as one set, so there is more ways to get stronger but you can go to a gym and ask instructors there on you can build muscle Weight lifting will make a huge difference in your ability to play football.
