Looking for genuine advice right now. I'm looking to bulk

Lots of incline dumbell press, flies, and flat bench will get you that chest. As for explosiveness, power cleans, squats, deads

Should I focus more on low rep high weight or high to low weight?

SS + GOMAD and you will look XBOXHUGE

>>39891508
high weight probably
you want to get properly strong asap for college football
but honestly you should be able to get away with doing a fuck ton of volume because you'll be eating a lot and youre young so you'll get big regardless

>>39891508
For your squats, bench, incline dumbells, and deads, focus on maybe a 5x5 routine. So thats 5sets 5 reps each. You'll put on mass easy. Flies are there to help you tone up, power cleans for explosiveness. Also, if you want to work on back and arms more do some bent over rows, zottman curls, and dips

If you wanna look decent, high rep, low weight.

But you wanna be strong and you play sports. Low rep high weight.

Based on those proportions, my manlet radar's going off

wait you are white 175 pounds and playing linebacker.....in college......yeahh......ok...

I know, it's not like a D-1 school or anything. It's a smaller school that is very nice academically, is excellent with teaching my major, and is in a nice town. They offered me enough between football and academics to cover my costs of college. I'm not going to take an offer like that and throw it away.

Also, I should note that while it's officially an outside linebacker, how the defense is set up I'm less of a fill in the gap linebacker and more of a mix between a corner and and outside linebacker. God didn't make me physically massive, but my hard-working attitude has proven effective for me in football.

ok well i would still try to get to at least 215 you will still be able to stop the run and rush the passer as well as cover TEs you want to be built more like a strong safety( a strong safety is a mix between a corner back and a linebacker essentially) I would think 215 is your ideal weight. hit your big lifts and eat alot you wont be covering any speedy receivers so don't worry about your speed too much i would say.

Understandably. I'd eventually to get to that point. However, I understand that jumping from 175 to 215 is not possible in a matter of a year, probably not even two. I'm not going to be some stud true freshman out there. My coach made it clear that I'll likely only see special teams and possibly sub time on a blowout. I'm fine with that, since I'll have a lot to work on.

you can gain a pound per week so it would take 40 weeks or so and half would be fat but i would still think it would be worth it for the strength gains. if you get on gear then it wouldn't take very long at all.

>Think surface area on your body. Squats covers core and legs bench is anterior and a lot of smith machine is posterior. Do some compound arm training to avoid looking like a fridge.
