i just want some guidence on my weekly routine and what weights program should i follow in my three weekly schedule without losing muscle and strength. here is my weekly routine

monday:
weights- cleans, squats, deadlifts, leg press, hamstrings, core 3xsets heavy

tuesday-club training

wednesday- chest/back superset session, arms, abs 4xexercises x s sets each

thursday- power, shoulders, core
club training

friday- core

Hi there glad it is working well for you, I would tend to do one of the Metabolic type programs listed on my in season post the other day the first day of the week, say Monday after a Saturday game, this will give you a good flush out help with a bit of aerobic/anaerobic conditioning and maintain some size as well, Tuesday I would do a heavy full body workout with strength reps, Thursday I would do a full boy power session and and some of the upper body size program from the In Season post, so in summary:

Monday: Metabolic or body weight circuits

Tuesday: Full Body Strength

Wednesday: Rest

Thursday: Full Body Power Upper Body size

Friday: Rest

Saturday: PLay

Sunday: Recovery

cheers, ash

thanks for the advice.
should i be doing heavy deadlifts and squats in season as im a prop?
could you give me a typical weights program for the monday tuesday and thursday weights sessions please.
many thanks

a squat or a deadlift each week is fine but trying to do both will be too much, cheers, ash
