Below we will be discussing how much weight you should be lifting based on your position. This would be at a varsity level in high school. So if you’re on varsity this is generally where you should be and if you’re middle school or freshman/JV player this is what you want to shoot for.
Also, if you play WR and would like a 2 month daily workout schedule to follow, checkout the link below! We give you 8 weeks of field route running workouts (sets & reps/video examples included), 8 weeks of WR specific gym workouts (sets/reps/examples includes) and a 1 Month speed development workout plan to do. Check it out here ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Now I want to preface this by saying lifting stats are not the most important thing in the world. We just get this question a lot, so I wanted to make an article about it. At the end of the day, college coaches aren’t recruiting power lifters. If you’re strong but can’t play… you still can’t play. If you can play & are strong… that’s an added bonus that can help you stand out amongst other competition.
