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!)

Ok now everyone is talking about the pikeville panthers workout lol. Wooooo heal pikeville workout!! lol there not doing nothing special and you know i bet every school does exact what they do! At valley they are doing the Program BSF and its helped the kids alot and they are never slowing down. But when my friend was in weightlifting he was always telling me that hampton was a crazy *** Hole that really worked out WITH THEM and never shaves his arms and arm pits like pikevilles so called (WEIGHTLIFTING COACH). I would line these boys up against any of the ones from pikeville. Oh yeah I did forget b/c didn't they already line-up in passleage and valley kicked there ***! YEP! If the workout was so hard and good why wasn't they strong and mean enough to whip VALLEY! So pikeville needs to calm the **** down about there mean *** work out that they do. I BET $100 THAT THEY COULDN'T COME UP HERE AND DO THE WORKOUT THAT VALLEY DOES AND THEY WOULD FOLD OVER LIKE THE PUSSYS THEY REALLY ARE!
