I am 5 foot 11 approx275'ish poundsoffensive tackle mainly, with some defensive tackle. (like def more, what can i do to get more on def?)I am not the slowest or least skilled player so that always helps. Any more information you guys need, just ask.I just want to improve my chances of making varsity next year. first time i have ever started to even lift weights. so obviously i'm not going to be a beast in the gym quite yetAlso, winter conditioning will be Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 3:05 - 4:15.As a team, we do alot of pushups, situps, that kind of stuff after lifting.On Tuesdays, my runs consist primarily of sprints. We have a 1/10 mile track that I sprint on, my longest sprint is 1 lap, i don't need distance sprint power.On Mondays and Thursdays, I just go for endurance, anywhere from .5 miles to 1 mile moderate jog. Sometimes do stair running tooNot sure what my maxes are...Bench : I can do a 45# plate on each side with a 45# bar easy 10 times..I'm thinking my max here is around 200 pounds, no more most likely.With squats, last thing I know I did and had to quit early was two 45# plates and a 25# weight on each side with 45# bar, and I did that 4 times... but that wasn't with any rest from 3 sets before that.Deadlift: as of today, i did 315 once... maybe could have squeezed out another one.. but not sure.I'm about 275 pounds5 foot 11 inches15 years old, 16 in mayWhat about protein powder?How many grams of protein should I consume daily to help build like 20 pounds of muscle before summer?If I continue with my current regiment, you think I could gain alot of strength/endurance, and shed some weight?ANY QUESTIONS, JUST ASK.In reference to the first comment...Thanks for your intelligent opinion... unlike 90% of people on here.I'm starting with .5-1 mile because.. well plainly put.. I'm out of shape. I hope to increase to more distance, and in the same time.We have set exercises to come in the weight room and lift.And I said I don't need endurance sprinting, because I am a linemen. 100m track runner have generally different strong leg muscles than cross country runners.In general, linemen never run too far, so that is why I don't do like sprints that are longer than a lap.Maybe I will do longer than a lap in the future... I just need to build up, it's pointless to set a goal of 2 miles after weightlifting if I know I'm not going to stick with it. I set 1 mile for a goal because that is more easily achieved, and I don't give up.
