Weight program during season

[GHS_08]

My biggest weakness is squats. My legs can hold the weight but it tears my neck and shoulders up

Does your gym have a hack squat?

Mine does. I can't seem to do squats with correct form. When I go down lean forward to much and I'm not sure how to correct it. So I've resorted to hack squats.

[Legend]

No. Small gym in Ozark. I do leg press machine 45 min straight on leg days and then step outs

Your hips aren't opening up allowing everything to sink down like it needs too.  Stretch!

Sometimes it's the upper back and core need to catch up.. Also a good pair of shoes and a belt help...  You can always take a step back and go super light and focus on form... Also front squats and overhead squats can develop the core muscles to help improve the back squat..

Front squats are mainly gonna hit the front of the legs.  No hamstring.  Hams may be too tight also.  My form gets better the heavier the weight. I prefer no shoes, or the toe shoes for squat.  Push hard through the heels.  You will see a lot of folks with bad form that are pushing with the balls of their feet instead of their heels.

I like shoe with a heal...  You see people stepping back on plates but that's tough to do when the weight goes up...  At this point for me I feel best on a hack squat but not what I would recommend for anybody in high school or college playing football...

Kids arent worried about their macros. You imagine how much stronger kids would be if they kept up with their macros and were in a great gym cycle?

They only focus is on protein... It seems like it has been that way forever..  When my oldest son graduated I had a group follow the program above (Samuel Harvill, Garrett Harper, Etc).  Saturday morning we always have 10-15 in the gym and they followed that program...  Every kid benched over 300 including the wide receivers...  The key was we had fun in the gym...  When they see results and see it quick they get hooked...

Harvill the dreaded bench more than you can squat.  Rule no.1 in football NEVER recruit a kid who benches more than he squats

[Legend]

I am trying to get it in the 2016 city budget for my city council but Theyd rather have a Mcdonalds
