  • I would check out the comments on the Bulking up question asked previously: http://forum.musclemag.com/discussion/10/bulkin-up
  • Look at programs and training designed for football players -- key is to build their speed and agility, not just start training like a powerlifter, drinking gallons of milk, and other "bulking" tactics that would be counterproductive to their sport goals - fat doesn't contract, and it will slow them down like lead weight.  Speed and agility have to come first - otherwise, they'll be bigger slower receivers, which quickly turns into smallish tackles and DEs . . . . Some first places to look at (just Google them):  (1) the "Bigger Faster Stronger" book and program, (2) Joe DeFranco's training site (about as good as it gets for FB), (3) Bill Starr's book - it worked in the 70's, and it works now - just be sure to include sprint and agility training.  If they have no good strength & conditioning coach, or they have one who sucks, you'll need good "how to" stuff on the key lifts they should be doing - get a copy of Mark Rippetoe's "Starting Strength" - get the book and the DVD.   Bottom line on all this stuff is they need to focus on basic compound movements (squat family, press family, pulldown/row family, core stuff), some power movements (basic power cleans, Prowler/sled work), and sprint/agility training.  And eat boatloads of meat and vegetables.
  • just be sure to involve dash and speed exercising.  If they have no excellent durability & exercising instructor, or they have one who hurts, you'll need excellent "how to" products on the key raises they should be doing - get a duplicate of Level Rippetoe's "Starting Strength" - get the publication and the DVD.
