Fantasy Sleeper of the Week--Brandon Jacobs

In fact they are not even pass protecting Eli very good..I don’t know what happened with that group this year..

He hits them full speed a few times they won’t want anything to do with him..It’s a law of Pyhsics..I’m 270 running full speed into your ass..good luck take three or four of them . ..and then the yards per carry go way up..over the course of the game..He’s a battering ram…

Make sure you have a good compound exercise in your weekly routine such as the Benchpress. Whether you’re doing incline, decline, dumbbell, barbell, etc… compound exercises are important.

Make sure you are using good form. For something like the Bench press, make sure the bar touches your chest so you actually work out your chest muscles and try not to bounce the bar either. It’s better to do less weight with good form than to do little elbow-benders at a higher weight.

Which leads into my next point, find a good weight for you, what one of my more gym-enthused friends told me, a set of at least 4 reps at a heavy weight is good for building strength, while higher reps at a lighter weight will help tone. You don’t have to do that strictly, as for myself, I’ve recently changed up my workout routine to do a reverse pyramid, where I start at towards my one rep max and work my way down to a lower weight doing more reps.

Change up your routine, eventually you’ll start to plateau and not gain as much from the same exercise, try to hit the same muscle groups doing a different exercise. For example, I’ve went from doing tricep pull-downs using a rope to doing skull crusher with a barbell.

Lastly, trying to keep this broad, give your body proper nutrition. Chicken and brown rice has been a staple of my diet, it’s high in protein, lean on fat, and brown rice has been my source for carbs. People suggest all sort of things for protein dosages, like body weight = grams of protein a day, mixing it up with casein at night, whey after a workout etc. There’s a whole lot to nutrition, none of it is solid since each person is unique, but one thing is certain; you need to eat enough to refuel your body. Also, be responsible with your booze consumption (chemicals in beers break down into estrogen which causes man-boobs), also there is a shitload of calories in a lot of drinks. Doesn’t mean you can’t have fun though and still look good, just be responsible about it.
