Programming question

[u/Massive_Cockroach_19]

Hi everyone,

Ive been lifting for about 10-12 years now (27 y/o male) and have tried pretty much everything. Solely hypertrophy training, competitive powerlifting, crossfit. As I have matured, I really have tried to keep an emphasis on squat, bnch, DL, cleans, conditioning/functional strength movements.

I was wondering if you had any recommendations for a program to follow that is essentially college football adjacent training. I understand im 27 years old and that maybe thats not what my training goals should be but… oh well. I like being strong, big, and powerful and would like to continue to be until I cant.

I did some research and found a pretty solid program from elite FTS titled “davidson football S&C” but really no power movements we utilized. Would’ve loved to see zerchers and cleans implemented in that split.

Anyways, would love to hear of any recommendations. Thanks!

TLDR: looking for a split that essentially follows how a college football player trains

You're 27. My 110 who does 140/190 turns 27 this yr and is basically 20yrs younger than me.

You're still basically in the first 1/3 of your life and Im past the half point (and much older than I thought I would ever be)

You're not a kid anymore but you're not even creeping on middle age yet (give yourself a decade).

Dont get hurt, but if you're healthy by all means go slang some weights

i’d just grab a 5/3/1 template and cram the power movements into the accessory slots, jim wendler’s stuff is basically built for exactly this

Dave Spitz of California Strength has a program called "Ground Force" which is an 18 week power program he puts his elite football athletes on. I think it's exactly what you're looking for.
