Alright, I was weightlifting with my football team until I felt like i wanted to do my own workout because i wouldn’t have enough time to finish my homework and i wouldn’t get enough sleep so I asked my Coach if I could do my own workout program and he said if I was starting my own workout program I better impress him by strength and speed by the time spring practice for football started. So I started to get my workout plan down.
Basically, I workout Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday because it is more easier for time management
My bench is by far my weakest lift because everyone benches in the 200’s except for me… so a lot of emphasis will be put on it, especially at first.
I want to work on my plyometrics, medicine ball exercises, and do drills with the agility ladder as my warm up along with some dynamic warm ups before i start working out.
My football team would usually squat on Monday, Bench on Tuesday, Squat on thursday, and bench on friday but since i am only doing it 3 days a week i am somehow going to fit into the workouts
So far, this is basically what I am thinking:
----Warm up For Tuesday

----Thursday Warmup

I want to do something like that for the first 1-3 months (probably more like 2), or whenever I stop seeing strength gains.Please be specific in what exercises to do and why I should do them; what they’ll do for me. And please, no B.S. there is plenty out there already. But all kidding aside, being only 15 and started to weightlift last year , I have A LOT to learn. I don’t have anyone to teach me or guide me though this stuff so please give me all the help you can. Also, please don’t feel the need to limit yourself to exercises or workout plans, I would love and greatly appreciate any tips or things you wish someone had told you when you first started working out.
