Hey gang, my son is 5' 4" and 160lbs. He's going to play football in high school next year. He realized tonight he wants to be a guard. Ok, question, what do we need to do with him over the summer to get him ready for this? I know he should really lose some weight, but also work out. Any vitamins he should be taking? Bulking stuff that won't make him fat, but help put muscle on him........everything he needs to be a linebacker or center. Thanks.



LOSE some weight? I think the thinking here is that he should probably try to gain some weight, especially muscle weight.

Is this freshman football? Has he played before? I don't want to be offensive but he seems pretty small for Guard, maybe if it is the Freshman team or something he might be OK. Are the guys his age about the same size or is he a little short?

Good luck. Is he sure he wouldn't rather try receiving or kicking?
