When we were in school, we had to lift during class and then lift after class. Burnt you out really quick. Problem is 55 minutes isn't long enough to get a good workout in and the after school sessions would go at least 2 or 2 1/2 hours.
Weightlifting class during school should be used for conditioning and running. After all, if im not mistaken, the class name is/was conditioning, not weight lifting.

in the old days they would just run you to death and not teach you how to play.you were conditioned as good as anybody in the state but you didn't know how to play the game when you got on the field nicker:
