Should coaches make their players lift weights year around
#17
I could argue this all day. I've worked out 5 days a week. 3 days a week on a push/pull/legs split. I have also did a every other day full body workout. If you are making gains doing what you are doing then keep at it. If you plateau then switch things up. The one thing that I will say that many may argue is that diet is the most important part of any weight training program. You can lift and lift and lift and if your diet sucksthen you will make minimal gains because you are not giving you body sufficient nutrition to repair damage and grow muscles. The main thing that youngsters need to concentrate on is getting plenty of protien (1-1.5grams per lb of body weight) and allow yourself enough carbs to keep your energy up on lifting days. With all the Test these young men are producing they should grow like weeds if they eat and train right. I have seen to many youngsters (my son included) try to lift what their buddy is lifting and really make no progress because they are cheating. They should chart their progress in a notebook and try to up weights or reps every session and quit worrying about what Jos Blow is doing.
