STRENGTH + POWER
FOOTBALL OFF-SEASON
PROGRAM
About the Program
This program is built for one purpose: to develop dominant, powerful football athletes.
This is a strength and force-production program designed to build bigger, stronger, more explosive players who impose their will on contact. We prioritize weight lifting, progressive overload, and high-intent power work to develop:
- Maximal Strength – Building absolute force through squats, presses, pulls, and loaded carries.
Explosive Power – Translating raw strength into violent hip drive, punch power, and first-step dominance.
Quick-Burst Acceleration – Building the lower-body strength and rate of force development needed to fire off the line, and explode out of the backfield.
This program includes:
- One structured, in-person training session each week at The Combine.
A comprehensive training program for athletes to follow between Combine sessions to ensure continued progress in their independent workouts.
Nutrition guidance to help athletes properly fuel for performance, recovery, and strength development.
Performance Testing
The program begins with performance testing to establish a baseline, with retesting every 10 weeks to track progress. Athletes are evaluated in:
Pro Shuttle (5–10–5) for quickness and change of direction
Short Pro Lateral Shuttle (2.5–5–2.5) for lateral speed and agility.
15 yrd Dash for acceleration and burst speed
Vertical Jump to measure lower-body power and explosiveness
- Trap Bar Squat for lower-body strength
