The MINIMUM -- basically what EVERY competitive team is doing -- is to lift (Bench, Squat, and Olympic Lifts) 3 or 4 days a week, do some agility/athleticism work, and some speed work.

(Are there still schools out there that DON'T have an organized off-season strength program at least 3 days a week either after school or with a PE teacher that is also a football coach???)

The real question is what schools have players making an EXTRA commitment beyond the minimum?

Back in the 70s, there were very few schools in the state that had an organized strength program -- and they're the ones that won it all almost every year. Lifting gave those schools an "edge."

Now, that's pretty much the MINIMUM and EVERYBODY is lifting.

Who is it that's doing something different than simply what everyone else is doing that gives them the EDGE? (I'd specifically like to know what the team I follow -- Pikeville -- is doing beyond the minimum!)

Go up and watch Coach Copelys workout program sometime and youll see what our boys are doing and the word "minimum" wont be the word you use to describe it.
