I'm a 16 year old male. I'm wondering what I can do for soccer, like a basic workout. Should I lift with my legs during soccer? What exercises to do? See, I've been lifting for about 4 weeks now and I've been taking EAS phosphagen and gained almost 10 pounds already. But from what I hear, the phosphagen could tear muscles and ligaments during intense running. Should I just stop taking the phosphegen during sports? Answer #1 My story is similar to yours. I wanted to get into college soccer, but had wrestled at 99 and 112 lbs. in HS. I do not suggest heavy weight training during your season. I would get a good journal going of both your eating and training habits. I would stick with compound joint exercises such as squat, deadlifts, military press and bench press. If you are going to train and play together, at least try to do them on separate days. It will be all the more important that you eat and sleep properly. I would also spend extra time stretching so as not to pull any muscles that are now tight through lifting. Answer #2 I'm 14 yrs. old and I also play soccer. I haven't heard anything about the stuff you're taking, but I know that most soccer players aren't extremely heavy and that running is a very important part of the game. So if I were you, I would try to not gain too much weight, even if it is muscle. I would also stop taking that stuff until you find out exactly what it is and what it does. Why would you want to put stuff in your body if you don't know what it does? Maybe you should try more running. Just trying to help. Soccer Stud Answer #3 Hey, I am a 19 year old Soccer Player myself. Don't listen to answer #2. I also take supplements as you, but I have been working out for a bit now. Try to work on your legs more. Focus on the calves and the quads and the hamstrings more. Make sure you have proper upper body strength. If you see pro soccer players (and this would go to Answer #2 too) they aren't scrawny bro, their legs are pretty big and have a lot of strength. So focus on more squats, lunges, leg presses, leg extensions, leg curls, and calf raises.
