Should coaches make their players lift weights year around

Anyone who knows anything about weight lifting knows that you should NOT be lifting 5 days a week. You muscles have to repair their selves to get stronger/bigger. That doesn't happen if you are lifting 5 days a week. You want to lift, heal, lift, heal . . . . etc. You don't want to lift, lift, lift, lift, lift, heal. You get very little strength gain.

Being from NKY (and a team that historically competes for the state championship every year--we never lift more than 3 days a week. Plus--we don't see a lot of injuries--because our kids ALWAYS get a chance to HEAL.

This post has been enlightening.

You know, NKY arrogance is borderline obnoxiousness.Tongueuke: I am 100% positive that no EKY program soley lifts weights 5 days a week.

The ones I know that are active 5 days a week have this sort of schedule.

Monday - weights
Tuesday - agility drills
Wednesday - weights
Thursday - agility drills
Friday - one or the other

But thanks for reminding me once again that we are beneath you, and for also letting me know why its great to be a country boy.:champ:
