You can read my situation in my profile I filled it out. My main goal is to be able to play college football. I am 6'2" and could grow to 6'4" and am naturally big and strong but have never lifted hard. Since 8th grade I have been in the weight room but even though I went 3 times a week during the summer I have never gone hard. Its my junior year and I need to get ready for my senior year. If you have any questions just ask. Here are my questions, answer any you can. One other thing is I also play basketball. I am pretty good but very very slow and need to get quicker.
I am taking creatine and protein is there any thing else I should take?
What should I eat to try and lose all my fat I got?
What lifts should I do to get stronger in the legs and core?
Other then butterfly's curls and bench is there any other arm exercises I am missing?
Any other input would be great, I really am starting with not much knowledge.
thanks,
Matt

You do not want to lose all your fat - visit the diet threads for info. In regards to your workout stick to the big compound moves and their variations. For example, Deadlifts, Squats, Bench Press, Over Head presses, Rows, Chin Ups, Dips, Lunges, Step Ups, ETC.... and do not forget Ab work. Visit the Power Lifting forum as well. Good Luck and Welcome to FT

Hey man, im in a similair situation as you. My senior year is coming up and im lookin to play some ball in college as well. Hit that powerclean man, no matter what position you play. ka had some great examples on what to do, and like he said, dont lose too much fat. Drink LOTS of water with that creatine. Jump some rope to work on footwork and plain old fashion plyometric workouts will help you with your speed.

Ohh yea, and about the arm workouts. There are TONS to workouts for them arms. FYI, curls are a pointless workout for football. Do some dumbell rows, cable wors, bumbell bench, inclince bench, decline bench, and one great workout i do at least once a week is this. Hold a 45lb plate in each hand for one minute. And dont grab the handle either if it as one. Hold it by the sides to work on hand strength and forearm strength. Do two to three sets. No matter what position you play, you are going to need some hand stength and some forearms.
What position do you play?
