Lifting during football season?

[mrpimp2you]

I was wondering something. I have gained alot of hard earned muscle and weight from working out hard in the gym. Well i dont really wanna lose that and I need a wy to keep it. For people who have experienced a sport liek football it is brutal. Did you guys lift durign the football season. And if so what was ur workout routine thru the football season. See i dont really wanna get tired from lifting. I just maye wanna do light lifitng to keep my muscle. And maybe take glutamine? to preserve my muscle. I just need sum tips on how to do this during the big high school football yr. So bascially the quisiton is.....HOW CAN I PRESERVE MY MUCLSE OR ADD EVEN MORE MUSCLE DURING THE STRANIOUS FOOTBALL SEAOSON AND WHAT KIND OF WORKOUTS AND SUPPS I COUDL TAKE TO DO THIS? ...because losing weight and mass woudlnt be good!

in high school i was the only one on my team who continued to lift during the season. i only worked out on monday and wednesday so i would still recover for the game on friday. i think this question would be best addressed to IROINLION, he is probably the most knowledgeable on this exact question.

1. eat a shitload of food (20 x bw in cals per day at least)
2. drink a shitload of water (1.5 gallons a day)
3. Use the trainer (ie ice bath after practice)
4. Take a multivitamin or two

as far as working out goes I would cut it to 3 or 4 sessions a week split up and MAKE SURE YOU ARE DOING YOUR Active Recovery (see sticky at the top of the board)

as far as weight training goes this is what I am doing and so far I have lost about 5-7 pounds and have gotten stronger
