Hey guys im new to the site got a few question for ya...

Around mid january i started training hard getting ready for my last hs football season. Been lifting 4 times a week with a PT doing , squatting, cleans, all power workouts... Im looking to loose some body fat and put on nice muscle. Im 5'10 225 with huge ass legs, im pretty solid but still have my body fat. Im benching around 200 and can squat mid 300's and just started lifting. Ive also been eating healthy, egg whites, whole grains, turkey, and lots of water seems to be taking up most of my diet All in all im looking to get noticibly bigger and have noticeable strength gains that will last, any suggestions?

i remember reading in a post not all that long ago on how many reps to be doing when you want to acheive dif. goals and for strength it was 1-3, and 4-6 that primarily focased towards the strength department.

sounds like you're eating ok, make sure you're running sprints, jumprope,etc. It's the off-season so it's time to hit it hard and make sure you're throwing around heavy weight! BTW, what position are you playing, I might be able to give you more insight in your position...Hook Em

avoid sugars and fast foods, do agility and speed work. make sure you get plenty of rest 4x's a week of lifting can be rough.
