football practice = pain
ok, so i started on monday, getting to know more plays and maxing out. they tested my speed, than ran me dry.
I was sore for 2 days.
Today, the pain began:
4 reps of 4 on bench press, starting with 65% of max, then 70%, 75%, and last 80%.
Next, Squats. Same as last, 4 reps of 4 with the same percentages.
After Squats, Clean lifts. Same reps and percents.
You then do as many chinups as possible in the amount of time coach wishes. in something close to 40 seconds, i did 15.
(Each one above was back to back, with no brakes in between.)
By now, your hot and slightly tired. Then they work you. 25 pushups without moving back or touching ground, 50 sit ups in a row, leg streches, and then more pushups.
They then give you a 5 minute brake to put your helmet on and cleats, then get some water and meet out on the field. We get out there, do 10 exercises, then get into a line of 5.
They then teach you drills after the exercises, and tell you to catch the ball, ( if not quarterback or on the line), if you miss the ball, even if the throw was way off, you do 10 get ups. A get up is this: run your feet in place as fast as you can, then when they say hit, you jump and hit your stomach on the ground, get back up quickly, and then run your feet, and repeat.
We continue doing drills, running our hardest in the burning hot heat, and then they blew the whistle, and we ran in to 2 lines: linemen, and skill, ( runningback, corner, quarterback, halfback, ect.) He then told us to get in positions, and run as hard as we can for 20 yards. We then instantly turned around and continued, until 100 yards was done; and this finished the day.
oh, and coach said it is getting much harder next time.
