I was talking to a guy from my gym hes big as a mofo

Im going to do it for a while see how it goes.

No but I've trained with a sore back.. T
I'm sorry but the title of this thread is just funny..."anyone train with a running back??"
Sorry to tell you dude but he's just doing a football specific training program...if he was a WR/DB/DL whatever..he'd still be doing the same thing except that field work like plyos would be position specific.
naw, running backs are the most athletic, highly trained athletes on the field, sure SOME WR maybe LB train like them, but not many.
Should be interesting. Does he do alot of sprints?
I train with Laron Landry when he comes home to Louisiana , his training is a little differant than mine , more volume and less rest but same basic stuff.
can you post any routines? if possible
Cool.
Doesn't mean there workouts are any different.
Give me a big DE or athletic OT and ill show you a highly specialized ridiculous athlete.
their workouts are completely different, body types are completely different, etc
Barry Sanders used to squat 585 for 5 at a bodyweight of 200lbs in college, any linemen doing 3 times their bodyweight for reps? doubt it.

body types are completely different....what school did you play for man? I'm assuming because it sounds like your university or pro level team did something different than 99% of all programs out there.
field work is different but when it comes to gym time...there is no difference other than the weight on the bar. Lineman and RBs and DBs alll of them. Look up a Division 1 off season training program or something.
this comes from experience, from playing THEN interning as a strength and conditioning coach at multiple programs.
what's your background?
I've been studying training methods used by football players for over 20 years, there have been a lot of advancements in the past few decades, however, even at the pro level, most training regimens are sorely lacking. At the college level, it's even worse. The best players seek out individual help from a handful of top trainers, or develop their own. I have attended seminars and spoken personally with Raymond Farris, made famous for is training techniques used by Jerry Rice and Roger Craig. I can tell you that back then, almost no one was training a this level.
If you think it comes down to agility training and standard weight training, you are probably stuck in the dogma of most D-I training. You'd think with all that money and all those coaches, their training would be cutting edge, it isn't.
It comes down to training the muscles, the nerves, the tendons (all different) and integration. No position on the field requires the combination of speed, quickness, power, durability, and mental awareness as the running back.
I red-shirted for part of a year at a big university and was so disgusted by their training program that I had no interest in participating. I was 19 and knew 10 times more than those moronic coaches stuck in decades old dogma.
