You don’t have to be a pro athlete to train like one. The good news? You can take the same foundational strength moves NFL players use and apply them to your own workouts at EveryDay Fitness in Redding, CA.
While professional athletes lift heavy and train with advanced programs, the core movements are simple and effective for anyone looking to build muscle, increase power, and improve performance in everyday life.
Why Simplified Strength Works
NFL athletes focus on functional strength—movements that translate to power on the field. These same exercises can help you:
💪 Build lean muscle
🏃 Improve balance and coordination
🔥 Burn more calories
🕒 Get efficient results in less time
The Simplified Strength Plan
Here’s a stripped-down version of an NFL-style weight room routine you can try in your next workout:
- Squats (Barbell or Dumbbell) – 3 sets of 8–10 reps
The foundation of lower-body strength. - Deadlifts (Barbell or Trap Bar) – 3 sets of 6–8 reps
Build explosive power and strengthen your posterior chain. - Bench Press or Push-Ups – 3 sets of 8–10 reps
Upper-body strength for chest, shoulders, and triceps. - Pull-Ups or Lat Pulldowns – 3 sets of 8–12 reps
Develop back strength and pulling power. - Core Finisher (Plank or Ab Rollouts) – 3 rounds of 30–60 seconds
Build stability and prevent injuries.
Complete this workout 2–3 times per week with rest days in between. It’s efficient, effective, and built on the same fundamentals the pros use.
