Scott,
I am not exactly in your league genetically, but I was a competitive powerlifter who switched to bodybuilding style workouts using primarily CT’s stuff about 4 years ago.

You are obviously handling a lot of volume. Your training looks like you are trying to do everything at once. Since its February, I’d take a month and do a block of only hypertrophy. Training for one goal at a time! Here’s what I’d suggest:

  1. Get into a caloric surplus. Eat more, train less. Then eat some more. Then go take a nap.
  2. Go more days between workouts with a given bodypart. You are hitting legs 4x/week. That will make them strong, for sure, but they’ll grow faster if you take more time for them to recover. Go to 2x/wk for the first block.
  3. Remember, powerlifting training is designed to get you as strong as f#&@ without jumping weight classes. Except for your activation cluster sets, everywhere else you were doing 3’s, do 5’s. Everywhere you are doing 5’s, do 8’s. Do the occasional 15 rep set for squats and overhead presses too. Really shock your body by doing stuff its not used to.
  4. Don’t be afraid to gain a little fat. Not a lot, but a little won’t hurt. Depending on your position, extra weight is an asset. You are young, and you will have plenty of time to lean out later in the spring before two-a-days start.
  5. After 1 month, switch to a translational block, bringing back the dynamic effort work, cutting back on high rep stuff. Add back in some conditioning.
  6. When you get to April, either do another block of hypertrophy, or move on to more of the training for functional and field work if you have spring football.
  7. Oh, and stay off your back. You’ve got strong pecs, but if you’re like most PL’ers, your shoulders lag behind. Most guys have to watch their shoulder joints from all the max squatting and benching. For football, you need your delts, all 7 of them, to be stronger. Do all your pressing upright for the first month, and burn the crap out of your rear delts.

Good luck!
