BB, or Powerlifting??? (LONG)

[rgosit]

im 17 and i play hs football. Ive been lifting since i was in 5th grade. i love lifting, ive always been more of a powerlifter because ive played sports mainly football..and i only cared about how strong and explosive i was. after the season if id ont play in college i dont kno what path to take. either way i kno im always gonna lift and eat rite. but should i stay with strength and power lifting routines like ive always done( bench squat deadlift powercleans, power press) or change over to isolating muscles.
i want to stay strong and fast incase i play a sport recreationally.
i was also thinking about getting into boxing or some kind of martial art for, fun or maybe to compete in the future..or to kno how to kick someones a** if i have to.
i want to get big and be strong and fast. so i would continue running (sprints jumping ETC) i like plometric training also
I kinda want to look good also, i dont want to look like a body builder though i dont ever want to be lower then like 10% bodyfat.


rite now im 5-7
about 180, i was at my heaviest about 196 before the seaon but lost weight with all the running. im at about 10-12 percentbdfat
i dont think i could ever get really skinny kno matter what i did anyway, i have a short torso and my stomach sticks out, its hard its not fat, but i dont ever think i could get the prototype beach boy six pack.

my best previous lift are
squat 485 X 5
my bench sucks- 205-3 i think is the most ive done
rack clean 205-210-5

i want to get BIG, could i gain alot of weight doing a workout like the power matrix??

i want to end up being like 200-210 with about the same bd fat

last football season i ended weighing like 155.

the workouts i have are:
power matrix
nebraska football program
maimi's football program-even though i dont kno the percentages
i could do hit programs
north carolinas football program
the olympic sprinters program
and a football program from DR.squat

and a question about the power matrix
can u do deadlifts one day and squats the next??or vice versa

so could u do like bench and squat monday and thursday
and deradlift on tues and fri.

i kno since i posted this in the powerlifting forum most of u will say powerlift.

but i kinda do want to be on a bulking cutting type split cause i dont want to b fat. but i was thinking about lifting for a year bbing then a year powerlifting\football type training and back and forth, but im not sure.

ne help would b appreciated

does ne one kno about martial arts or boxing and training??

will bbing make more slow twitch muscle fibers and make me unathletic??

my diet is in check and i know how to lift, i just need to be pionted in the rite direction.

sorry i had to drop a novel.

Yeah bro, i know what you are going through.
I play rugby and i train for the same type of fitness required for a football player.....speed and power into contact.

Both games reley alot on speed, strength and power.

I would not label the training you do(bodybuilding, powerlifting...it is all lifting weights!)

For example there are bodybuilders who use rep ranges of 15+ and use isolation movements most of the time, and there are ones who will use 4-6 reps and stick to the compound lifts.

I would stick to a routine that includes:

Squats
deadlifts
bench press
dips
barbell rows or chins
shoulder presses with d/b or bb
cleans
shrugs
and maybe some are work(curls, forearms)


Dont worry about isolation...in sports, it means very little and does not improve physical fitness(maybe help loose bodyfat) and does not promote hardly any strength.

I do two weights sessions a week, play a game and train with my team.

Depending on how many times a week you train/play football....keep the weight sessions down.

If you do the same as me, i would not do more than 2-3.

Split the above exercises or your own stuff into two sessions and do 3 sets on each one.

4 reps for strength works best for me and helps me put on size far easier than when i was doing bodybuilding.
Take up to 5 miniutes rest between bench, squats, deads.

Try not do over do the running and plyometrics away from the team sessions.
You are working on speed when lifting and when running in training.

Keep the protein and complex carbs up and you shuld be fine.

One more thing.
I would try and find out with trial and error(sadly) what works best for you and what effects performance(in good and bad ways) and dont just follow someone elses routine.
In other words, dont copy mine or dr squats to the t, if they dont work for you.

Good luck bro, hope that helped!

W.P.H
