I also have recently have ordered some light bands and was wondering if they would be good for bench or squat speed days as well. Here are my current maxes: 515 squat, 510 deadlift, 350 bench(this sucks). I am also currently 5'10 213 at 13% for a size compaision. Thanks for you input gentlemen.

It looks like a very comprehensive program. However IMHO, it looks like too much, too often. I think you need more rest days in there, especially if your going to mix in plyometric training, skill sets and strongman simulations with your weight training. Remember: Training is the stimulus for growth & strength increases, but growth actually occurs during your "down" time.

If you are still just in high school then your lifts are well above average. Very impressive. Keep up the good work.

thanks for your input ball, and yes it is alo and sometimes i feel wore down at the weekend, sometimes i break the workouts up and do running parts in the morning for example. Very strenuous though indeed as i am more endophormic/mesophormic and still losing bf if i dont eat round 4000 cals per day.

I would have to agree with ball...that is way too much work at one time. Not knowing you...perhaps your GPP is high enough for you to handle that volume. But you would be much better off splitting it into more than one session per day if possible.

Your weight sessions should have about 4 or 5 exercises. Pick the exercises that you NEED...don't just do things to do them. In your set up you have a couple exercises BEFORE your max effort work....unless these are serving as warmups I would advise against it.

All the medicine ball work and plyometrics should be seperate from your "gym" work. If you are in High School...hopefully you are taking "Weight Class"...so you can get your work done during school hours...and then do an extra session later at night.

I would have to know more about your goals...and time you have to work with before I could make any more recommendations....if you have any questions..feel free to PM me.

I know "some stuff"

actually, i think his program is based on the training of the highly successful programs of John Davies, (www.renegadetraining.com). a renegade cannot overtrain, he just outworks everyone else. primobone's program is primarily for football and a football game is long and brutal, so thats what you've got to do in trianing.

primobone - the program looks good, but you might want to add some sprints in (you might need to cut the volume a little for this) because sprinting is obviously important in football. a good way to do this is after run through the agility ladder along with various other agility/running drills (sorry i wasnt sure if you included this on tues/thurs "agilities"). make sure get a lot of glutamine and BCAA too along with a lot of food and sleep. dont neglect flexibility either. the bands would also be a good idea. check out the renegade trainging for football book at dragondoor.com - the digital book is availible now but the softcover doesnt come out till the 20th
