[QUOTE="BonusBobo, post: 226755, member: 545390"] I weight trained before my sophomore year for a month or two for football. My coach was saying it was optional but recommend, which basically means it's required. My parents said I should go because they didn't want me to get hurt out there on the field with no bulk on me (at the time I weighed about 145 lbs). I really hated weight training. I really hated my coach. I only was playing football to get my *** out there and do something, and I liked a lot of the guys on the team. After that month or two of lifting I went to a 4 day camp which was hell on earth. It took place at a military training camp in a town called Manzanita, Oregon. It was on the beach. That camp was horrible. We'd be lucky to get a good 5 or 6 hours of sleep, then we'd wake up to the coach beating a trashcan and warming us up with a long run, the longest of which being 6 miles in a figure 8. Another notable one was a set of spaced out staircases, 12 cases in all, about 50 yards long each, and about 50 yards apart. We did that twice in a row on the last day, stopping at the last one, then turning right around to go back. I think that camp may be the closest thing to boot camp or military training that I will ever experience. [/QUOTE]
