Well if you wanna get strong then throw out most of that shit. Things like kick backs, lunges etc are not gonna build strength. They are development movements and shitty ones at that. Here are the most important exercises concerning strength. Bench, squat, dl, ohp, rows, pull ups. Doing variations of these as assistance work is a good idea, but doing muscle development movements isn't. If your wanting to add some explosiveness also then the oly lifts, box jumps, sprints etc are good things to add.

I only use development movements as fillers, and yeah I do have the Olympics in.

If you want to increase strength then the fillers need to be variations of the big movements. Like close grip floor press for bench. Or rack pulls, block pulls. Basically exercises that address your current weaknesses. If your weak off the floor in dl then you need to do some deficiet pulls, close stance squats, or speed work etc. also the buggest thing for strength development is improving technique.
 
I would add that for strength, you work out with more rest between sets. You've got so many sets in that work out you would be in the gym all day.
 
Hey HB. The may thing I am wondering is how much time you are putting into actual football skills on a daily or weekly basis right now. A pure SL 5x5 program may be a good idea for you at this point because you could keep your weight training focused down to 3-1 hour sessions a week, leaving you lots of time for football skills training. And like we have talked about in the past, the demands of your football positions will inform you regarding what you need to develop in the gym.

Make sure you pick up a couple of those books.

I do a 2 hour skill session on Thursday and 1 hour skill sessions some days I lift.
 
Yeah I am sure you do. Lol
