If i'm not mistaken, either rip or john promised us a way or a method to translate the strength in the gym to the field, and they didn't provide much, or any information about how to do this. I'd be really really interested in your methods, and if it can be applied to the basic starting strength program and perhaps a 5x5 program. What about speed training? Agility?
I know that John told us in the interview that they did a westside template with olympic lifts and sprinting, but he doesn't get too specific with it. Does he still does that? What about athletes that can progress on linear programs?
I have a few ideas in mind as to have 2-3 days dedicated for strength(in the football preseason, not in the early offseason), 1 for conditioning can be in a form of strongman stuff and 1-2 speed.
The conditioning day was used by a lot of trainers with great success, instead of running the athletes you can make the flip tires, drag sleds, push the prowler, do log clean and jerks and etc'. But how do you put all that in the big picture?
I'm a highschool football player with hopes to play college so i'm really interested in this.
