DeLa Salle Offseason training

Coach, I know that De La Salle uses the "Trench Warriors" video by speedcity for their linemen. I ordered it, and it is great. You need to purchase some equipment to use it. It is a 3 day a week, 6 week program. It is pretty intense and requires good organization. You can go to thier website and order it:

My HS coach had us pull tires. He got some old 18-wheeler tires and dilled a hole through the tread, and inserted a large eye-bolt with the eye on the outside of the tire. He got a guy at an upholestry shop to make him two straps with D-ring hooks on one end and a padded belt about 6" in width (like a weight lifting belt) with a velcro strap to adjust for different size players. The strap was about 5 yards long, so the tires wouldn't slip the runner.

We would drag them forty yards, rest 30 seconds and drag them back to the goal line. We did this over and over again. It really improved leg drive and the times in the 40 for our team. He used the big truck tires, because they weighed a lot more than regular car tires.
