I think back lifts are very improtant in any sport you play. They could improve your chances of hurting your back. I have two back lifts that I will be talking about this week. The first lift is just a simple back row. There are many types of rows but the one I will be talking about it the one with a straight bar. All I do is arch my back bend over and let the weight drop with my arms then pull it up to my chest while touching my shoulder blades together. This lift can help your bench which will eventually help you in football. I usually do about 3 to 4 sets with high weight with about 10 to 6 reps, but this depends on how much you can do.
The next lift is called the lat pull down. The name pretty much explains itself it works your lats and the way you do this also has a couple ways but I will only talk about one. First I usually can use a cable weight and all I do is sit down lock my legs in and pull down to my chest or you can go behind your head but I perfer to go in front because I feel it more in my lats. I do about 3 to 4 sets with high weight with about 10 to 6 reps. This lift has helped me become a stronger football player as well.
This workout sounds like it would kick my butt. I might break my back just trying to complete this rugged task.
ReplyDeleteyep...I'm pretty sure you talk about this all the time haha ;) and once again I can TOTALLY do this! ;)
