Soccer Exercises And Training Drills

The Place For Soccer Coaching And Fitness

What are some weight lifting exercises for a soccer player (especially want to gain weight)?

I’m looking to gain more weight this summer for upcoming high school season, and trying to develop a weight program to help achieve this. Any thoughts? Also, on top of eating well, any protein supplements you would suggest? Appreciate the help.

When you say you want to gain weight, you are wanting to gain muscle and not fat! The best way to gain muscle is to start a good weight lifting program and eat a calorie surplus. A great weight lifting program can be found here http://www.weight-lifting-complete.com/wlc-program.html

A good weight lifting program will be designed to help you get stronger in the muscle building rep ranges. In order to gain muscle, concentrate on gaining 1-2 pounds of body weight per week. Weigh yourself first thing in the morning once per week. Count calories that you eat each and every day, and adjust them each week based on the amount of weight you gained or lost. If you did not gain weight, raise the calories for the coming week. Gaining weight is simple. If you are playing soccer and lifting weights, you’ll need to eat a ton of food to gain weight.

As far as protein supplements, I suggest a good whey protein concentrate to get extra protein and extra calories that are easy to get down. Like I said, you’ll probably need tons of calories. Start with 15 times your body weight and adjust them to gain weight. Here is what I suggest for your protein supplement: http://www.weight-lifting-complete.com/whey-protein.html

My recommendation is towards the end of the page. If you need anything further, join me on WLC Space (link on navigation bar) and I’ll be glad to provide you with personalized help. Good luck.

    I bought this the Dr Max Powers Anabolic Stack and I am a lot more muscular then I was a year ago, when he first started using

    I have tried several testosterone products out there and have found the Dr Max Powers Test Boost to be the best. It is more than twice as potent as the top brand that I could find and has given me more strengh. I have recovered quicker after work outs and have been able to increase my work out times. It has definitely helped with the ladies too. I have been bulking up pretty well since I have been taking it regularly, and lifting weights.
