Classic
Football Strength Training Workout II
Bill
Starr's Big Three: The Power Clean, Squat & Bench Press
|
| "My athletes participate in a weight training program primarily for strength. I feel that a stronger athlete is a better athlete, so my programs attempt to increase the total strength level of the entire
body. There are different physical requirements for different positions,
for example, defensive linemen and quarterbacks. But in terms of a
strength program, I do not treat them differently. I start everyone with
"The Big Three": power clean, squat and bench press". - Bill Starr
from the book "Getting
Stronger" by Bill Pearl, published in 1986. |
|
Directions -
Football "Big Three" six week off-season program. Before each
session, do 10-15 minutes of stretching and abdominal exercises. In
addition to the "Big Three" perform two sets of leg extensions
and leg curls to prevent knee injuries. Stretch 10-15 minutes after the
workout. Goals: To strengthen all the major muscle groups and to develop
muscle balance. |
