Going to be attending Mount Union playing football this upcoming season. Hoping to work hard on and off the field and be the strongest player on the team as a freshman, after tearing both ACLs the last 2 years. Got my summer workout program, and will be posting the workouts I do here. I'm a lineman (obviously), and I'm hoping to translate my strength to the football field. And, although most people don't measure it, I put my reps of 225. I'm looking to (hopefully) play good enough to get an invite to the NFL Combine 4 years from now, and if that happens, I want to break the combine bench press record of 49 set this year by Stephen Paea. I also decided to expand on the core workouts they have in my summer program, as a good lineman always has a very strong core under all of that belly.

To catch-up on my workouts so far, here's my original log on a different site: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=134422181

First workout is legs today. Will post my workout after.

Actually switched up my workout a bit...I watched a few of my videos, and apparently my stance was so wide and my feet were so pointed outward, that it was causing my knee braces to prevent me from going parallel on squat. Put my feet in a lot closer, and pointed my feet forward (I can now do that with a narrower stance), and now I can go ATG without any problems, like I prefer. I'll probably lift less weight, and I now have to work on explosiveness, but now I can get more ROM, gain more strength in my legs quicker, and put a lot less pressure on my knees. Never knew my form was off until one of my friends pointed it out to me on Facebook. So, I completely changed my workout, and I'll post it here in a bit.
