Bro thank you this is exactly what I wanted to hear, I appreciate it bro, I’ve really bulked up in a year and people are telling me that I’m gonna be too big to play, but I love lifting heavy and I really feel more powerful and fast then ever, I appreciate the content bro💯🙌🏽
Like I mentioned sometimes soreness is not something you can avoid. However when you go reps as low as 3 to 4 to 5 you reduce your likelyhood of getting sore. You also need to reduce the frequency to one or two times. Thanks for your input 💯
Great topic. Good luck on your sales. I think one of the best sources out there on training and speed is Feed the Cats from Tony Holler. In his system, the main driver behind improving speed is running at top speed. Volume is super low as maximal effort is so taxing on the CNS and all other systems. All other activities are tertiary. His athletes, unless they play another sport, do not lift, especially in season. He is not closed-minded to lifting, he just doesn’t want an additional demand on recovery. Football is such a demanding sport that training load has to be very carefully managed. It is so easy to lift incorrectly and throw one’s development off track. That’s this enthusiast’s opinion.
I'm a young guy pursuing a top professional football career and I lift weights Why many people who play football don't really lift heavy weights is because of the fear of being bulky and heavy

My Nephew is a gym rat. He Will be a senior next season. He can out squat some of lineman and he's only 5'6 160 lbs. He tested his hamstrings to quad strength ratio it was barely 50% and from what I understand and actually should be around 80% and elite athlete near 100%. So not my issue is the lack of investment the school's put in the higher professional trainers to teach proper technique rather than just have a list on the wall telling you squats Monday it's tuesday.
To maximize speed qualities yes. However, as research shows us. Strength levels begin to drop. When strength levels drop so does force production . That’s why it’s the coach’s job to know how and when to implement different phases for the right adaptation. In short both heavy weights are implemented
Do you believe you need to be in a caloric surplus to gain muscle? Whatever your response I agree with all your points about weigh training. I personally have seen many studies that show it is possible to gain in a deficit it is just not ideal for gaining muscle. This is especially true for beginners. Whether we agree or not keep up the great work.
A beginner will see change and growth with any new stimulus no matter if in a deficit, maintenance, or surplus. If the athlete is trying to lose weight and burn fat a deficit will be beneficial for improving athleticism and relative force production. For the average player maintenance or a minimal surplus will provide the best results.
Personally, I lift heavy on squat and leg exercises to work on raw power and speed of movement but on upper body exercises I usually do a mix of 3-5 rep sets and 8-10 rep sets. Is this good or bad? Good vid btw
@@ArmasStrength for legs usually 3-5 Reps and sometimes 8-10 on the odd accessory exercise like single leg extensions and single leg Romanian deadlifts. I train legs 3x a week but only do accessories once a week as it’s offseason in the UK right now.
As of right now I'm lifting twice a week for legs and progressively overloading every week. I'm trying to improve strength in my quads so I tend to increase the weight by 1.5kg every week. While I'm in season I am planning to do legs once a week but you reckon it is possible to increase the weight once a week and get the adaptation? I've heard that you need to lift at least twice a week for any sort of adaptations. Just wanted to know cheers man
3 times a week off season & 1-2 times in season. Don't overlook hamstrings and glutes as footballers are already quad dominant as it is. In season, get in two lifting sessions a week if your schedule allows it. However, always prioritize your game. This is a time to maintain what you gained during the off and preseason and any strength you do gain is a bonus.
Hi brother, Ive got a question. How do you run faster? Like what should you do to get faster? Is there something I should practice on, or do I need to improve myself in something? Thanks
The fear I have when lifting heavy weights is that I get hard and I can't be as agile with the ball in my dribbles. I have the strength to run but not to dribble. I also remember that he trained with 85% of the RM and ended up dead and in the game he arrived tired. Now I am working with a weight of 12 kg in dumbbells and I do plyometrics at home, I do not harden but I do not gain strength either. What would you recommend me to do if I'm still playing in the season to get to the game with a lot of agility and strength? ⚽💡🙏🏼
All my athletes train to lift heavy, jump, and sprint and are consistently improving performance. We test often to make sure vertical jump, horizontal jump and speed is increasing. Where many go wrong is too much lifting and not enough jumping and sprinting. Footballers are atheltes and need to train like athletes. If one does nothing but high volume lifting = more bodybuilding oriented If one does nothing but heavy lifting = stiff power lifter Balance = athlete
One more question tell me how it makes sense to lift the day after a football game when the explanation I hear is to get the soreness out have they never heard of ice bath massages yoga stretching. And you know 15 16 year olds they're not in there lifting light like the coaches say that's what they're doing that most of them are in their maxing out showing off seeing who can squat the most.Thst has to slow down recovery process
@@Mrts3000 all three are great in their respective ways. Lateral lunges great for lateral strength and adductor health, BSS I like to use for pure heavy strength, lunges forward = deceleration focus, lunges reverse = acceleration focus. It’s great to rotate them each month or perform two each training phases. The most important thing however is that you’re progressive overloading
Hey bro can you help me out I am starting my game again after a injury break of 4 months Tell me how to increase speed and stamina My age is 15 If u do this it will be so helpful for me Thanking you in advance because I know you are gonna reply me
I am just worried about doing too much static condition, instead of dynamice (sprints, cones, etc.). I think you must not spend more time lifting weight than you spend the time with your ball. Thta's all, if you have time for both then it is perfect. What should you do, if you ahve only time/option for one training a day?
You’re not wrong. Strength training (like an athlete) is meant to supplement your game not replace it. Lift at least twice a week, jump, and sprint often and continue to develop your game.
@@ArmasStrength Thank you for you fast response even tho this is not a fresh post, reall thank you! I would do 2 trainings but what if you have time (beacuse of job) just for one daily?
I gained about 30 pounds since the past 7 months I got slower but my 100 m is still 13 seconds tho which is good for my position any tips on getting back in shape while being the same weight as I am? Personal info : height - 5’7 Weight - 158 Ideal weight - my coach said I gotta be around 150 to 155 because I just changed formations and became a right back
First of all why you're 100m? No correlation to a footballer. 10-30m is the the magic zone. 30 lbs in 7 months is very fast and depending on your training level and how much lean tissue you can actually gain is limited. My bet is that you gained fat and a higher body percentage is unnecessary excess weight the body needs to carry. This overall lowers your relative force production and speed as a result.
Lift heavy. Lift fast. Sprint max. Simple as that! Thoughts?
Love it 🔥🙏

Idem for me
Most fighters out gass and fatigue when to bulked up, they often do more explosive training with repetition.
I train legs twice a week, I do weighted 10-12rep and the second day do body weight leg training
When done properly - yes it can definitely help!
For me I don’t want to lift too heavy too often due to getting sore, hindering my performance in training which could lead to me getting dropped
Like I mentioned sometimes soreness is not something you can avoid. However when you go reps as low as 3 to 4 to 5 you reduce your likelyhood of getting sore. You also need to reduce the frequency to one or two times.

hey! I have a question. do you train at full power during the season? or at 60-80% of your ability?

Hi brother, Ive got a question. How do you run faster? Like what should you do to get faster? Is there something I should practice on, or do I need to improve myself in something? Thanks
plyometrics. Train your hammstrings and hips aswell
Do your training programs have videos explaining the exercises?
They sure do
Hey bro what injury did you sustain and was it due to overtraining? Has it completely stopped you from being able to compete? Thanks
I believe it comes from my feet support and something I've recently take up on to fix. I still compete for fun.
How fast would you recommend to lift when lifting heavy? Slow on the way down and fast on the way up?
Control on the way down and on the way up although it may not move fast the intent should be fast

Should we do lateral lunges, Bulgarian split squat and Lunges all in the same session?
Pick one. A goal for a player is not to do the most and come out sore but to do the least and come out stronger
@@ArmasStrength Fair point, out of the 3 which one do you think is the most beneficial?

Is strength training good in season?
Definitely
How would u replicate lifting heavy while in lockdown with minimal equipment
eccentrics, isometrics, single leg, plyometrics, sprinting 📈📈

Yes

Heavier weights more chance of injuries
Just not true. Injuries happen when you try going heavy too fast, don't build a foundation for your joints and tendons to adapt, wrong form, ego, etc.
We should lift heavy or not?
