I have lost around 14 lbs in the last year due to different things, but I have suffered several sublaxication/dislocations playing rugby so at the moment my exercises are been chose wisely.
My training is focused on performance - strong, fast and great conditioning. Symmetry - I’m not aiming to become a mass monster so if that is what you wanna see you are at the wrong place. I will upload some pictures shortly.
When does your season start? What position do you play?
Whats the plan? Im thinking about doing 2 weight sessions a week, concentrating on the big lifts and keeping it short and simple. Too much bodybuilding stuff will get you carrying un-needed weight and will have a significant impact on your recovery and readiness for game time.
Futsal season starts just after Christmas. Futsal is indoor football, with 5 on each team with some rule changes. It’s very popular in Brazil, Spain, Portugal etc, a technical game. And will be joining a semi-pro club soon enough as well.
I have always played in defence, centre back. But I can play in a number of positions.
Yeah 2 weight training sessions a week is fine in-season, something like 5/3/1 on the big lifts and minimal assistance would be perfect in-season. At the moment I have a lot of time to train so I have been hitting the gym a lot, that is why I need to get some solid conditioning work done so I remain fast and mobile. And my training split will changed to more maintaining the strength while improving my lungs. When does your season start again?

I did some jogging and short sprints today, had some discomfort in my hip/lower back which cut it short to be on the safe side.
I will get to the gym tomorrow, get myself on the bike and cross trainer I think for some low impact cardio. And some upper body weights and a lot of stretching for my hips.
At this moment in time I do skill work at training sessions I coach. My mobility/flexibility is very good I stretch a lot and have focused on it for a long time from when I had sprint training and learnt the real benefits of stretching.
Hoping to start a football coaching company soon just need some info!
