My football summer weight lifting program started Mon.
For the 1st 2 weeks we do 5 set of 10 for bench and squat and 3 sets of 10 for dead lift and incline.

Bench: 185 pounds (5x10)
Squat: 275 pounds (5x10)
Dead: 255 pounds (3x10)
Incline: 115 pounds (3x10)

Is this a pretty good workout??

Do what your coach tells you, he probably knows football training better than I do.

There have been posts in the past about footbal training - try entering it in fitbvuddy at the bottom of the screen and see what comes up.

Do you do that 2 or 3 times a week? If so then by lifting heavy each time you really aren't giving your body ample recovery time. Then again I'm not a football coach either.
