What muscles should I train to be a Outside Linebacker?
486978
Legs and back.  You need to be able to spring into the tackle and run like all get out.  Work on leg thrusts with lower wights to develop quick twitch muscles and strengthen your back to take the hits.  I would also work on hand strength to help with grabbing for ankles or jerseys if you are not in position to make a solid tackle.  Speed and quickness will help you most at OLB

Practice jumping.\n\nDo plyometrics. Run. Do lots of squats, correctly.\n\nDo all of these, many times over.

As a high school FB coach I use plyometric conditioning emphasizing explosiveness. Stay with the withs and add plyometric exercises.

Walk or run outside.  Pushups, crunches, lunges, squats, tricep dips, etc with your own body weight for building muscles.  Get some inexpensive weights for even more exercises to build muscles.  There's a lot you can do right at home.

if ur quick and strong with a nice weight u sound like a all pro defencive end of middle linebacker...you just have to want to get your nose in everyplay and hit someone even if he doesnty have the ball...and it sounds like u would make a good fullback to...just make sure u lift constantly...more reps and less weight is better then alot of weight and less reps...make ur muscles hard and built better...good luck...let me no how it goes....swing_dr_wil@yahoo.com...

Great running backs are instinctual movers. They have great vision on the field able to see side to side. Also quick and powerful legs. If you want to train work on your legs, strenght them, and practice moving side to side quickly. Just remember a running back knows he's going to get him, but the good ones keeping their legs moving until they're down.

linebacker is a tough position its all about making reads you need to pick up on stuff like how the guard is blocking the play which side of the offense is the strenghth, how many backs are in the backfield, and you need to be able to pick up on wing backs.  Also once you recognize this you need to make calls to let the line know everything you know.  also on run plays you need to be able to fill up holes.  But i would still say go for it i played it through high school and had a great time.  YOU JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING ON THE FIELD BECAUSE ITS TOUGH TO PLAY IF YOU SRE CONFUSED OR GUESSING AT WHAT PLAY THEY ARE RUNNING

YES they both will. To be a free safety means being the smartest player on defense, you need to know everyone's assignment and your own, never make a mistake, and make recievers scared of going deep by laying a hit anytime they try to come at you. To get faster, do some calf raises, maybe 200 or 300 a day, you'll be sore as hell but in two weeks you will have rocks for calves, then power squats for thigh and hamstring strength. But the most important thing, is stretching and fluids. Stretch like anytime you are not doing something. Constantly. And drink water and gatorade like a machine. You will be fast. So fast, that they will tell stories of your legendary speed. Go forth now, and run, run like the wind!

Strength is important, but is not your main concern for improvement. You need to work on your backwards and lateral movement. I assume during warm ups and positional drills, your coach has you do lateral shuffles and karioka/crossover drills. You need to work on those over and over; work on imcreasing your speed and most importantly keeping your balance while doing them. Same thing goes for backward movement. You need to work on running backwards while keeping your balance and not letting your weight shift backwards. If you lean backwards and the tight end curls around quickly, you're either going to lose a step and be out of position, or end up falling. You also need to get used to watching the QB's eyes, shoulders, and movements during practice. I don't really know of any way to improve that on your own, just have to focus on it during practice time.

eat a lot of protein. they are the building blocks of muscles. you should consider protein shakes. get a good exercise programme and stick with it.\neat half a banana before you train and the other half straight after, preferably with a shake. \nwith a good diet, thats high in protein, and a good work out progamme you should be able to do it easily.

Check with the local football coach/ players.  --Or any athelets.  Join a gym.  You'll find them there too.

Stick the bar on the back of your shoulders, bend your knees until they are parrallel with the floor (all the time keeping your head looking forwards), drive back up to the standing position.\n\nSquats are the single most important exercise in any weight training schedule.

1.) Do plyometrics (box jumping, etc.)\n2.) Do sprints\n3.) Start lifting\n4.) Go endurance running\n\nI'm not going to give you a detailed work out plan, because it would be a waste of both our times. If your coach is any good at all, then he will already have a summer football league up and running for players to participate in. Start there.

Outside Linebackers.  Because the middle linebacker plays the running back or short pass option.
