The Football Way

In this method of working out you tend to focus more on how much weight you are lifting rather than worrying about good form, contraction and building muscle. Generally, you split your routine up into Upper Body and Lower Body days. Use caution when if applying this method and wear a good weight-lifting belt. If you find yourself saying, "Well, it's not good technique, but at least it's heavy!" then you'd better strap on a belt and have a good spotter. This workout uses pyramid weights/reps.

As you can see, these exercises are not isolation exercises for the most part and can be very taxing, especially if following the routine for very long. Sure, variations can be used, but this is the exact workout our football coaches made us do, and personally, I feel it was and is a pile of crap. But then again, I'm not training to be a powerlifter.
