REINHARDT UNIVERSITY FOOTBALLSIGNEE WORKOUT PROGRAM

2016

This program is to continue upon Weeks 1-4. If you have not begun or finished the first four weeks, please do so before beginning Phase 2. Each week consists of three workouts and two running days (one speed, one agility and conditioning). Be sure to check back in a couple weeks and there will be an updated workout program.

As you go through the workout there will be links to video demonstrations to each lift. If you have never performed one or more of these lifts and feel it would be too difficult, I would prefer you not to try and teach yourself how to perform it. You can contact me and ask for an alternative movement.

In regards to how much weight to use for each lift, I want you to use as much weight as you can safely perform with proper technique. If you feel your technique begin to break down, you have gone too heavy. I want you to work hard, but not injure yourself. We will worry about how much weight you clean, bench, and squat when you arrive on campus.

Your running days will consist of either speed drills or agility drills. Thursdays will also begin to prepare you for our conditioning test at the beginning of camp. As long as you work hard and follow the plan described in the following pages, you will arrive on campus prepared for what will be asked of you. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.

NOTES: Never sacrifice technique for weight. If your technique begins to break down, you are going too heavy. Always maintain a neutral spine during your workout. NEVER ROUND YOUR BACK!Do not flare your elbows on the Bench Press. Tuck them by your ribs.If you have never performed Hang Cleans, do not try to self teach. I would prefer you to perform the DB Squat Jump and we will teach you the more complex movements once you arrive on campus.In the Reverse Lunge, make sure your heel stays in contact with the ground on the front leg. You should try to use your hamstring and glutes (butt) rather than your quads (top of thigh). I want your knee to touch the ground without banging on the ground.If you have access to a Glute Ham Raise, I want you to perform these over the Leg Curls. If you do not have access to the Glute Ham, use leg curls.

NOTES: Take FULL rest time between each rep. You can only get faster by running fast. You cannot be fast if you are tired. This should not be conditioning. This is speed work. Take your time and focus on running full speed.The Flying 40 consists of a 20yd jog and a 20 yd sprint. The transition between the jog and sprint should begin around the 17yd point. The last 20yds should be a full out sprint!

NOTES: Control your movement! Body control is key. I only want you run as fast as you can to cleanly come in and out of your breaks. For the 300 yd shuttle prep, set up cones 50 yds apart. You will run back and forth between the two cones until you hit the yardage described. Ex: 200 yds = Down/Back x 2
