Question

I'm a division one defensive end, but I weigh 220 pounds. My speed is pretty average, or slightly on the slow side, and my strength is average. I'm a freshmen, so right now this is all ok, but I really need to gain some weight (muscle) without comprimising speed.
Obviously I have no flexibility whatsoever in weights due to a very specific regimen. I really could use some advice with diet/supplements. Also, it would be great if it were taken into consideration that I cant risk any dehydration during the season which ends in about 6 weeks. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I dont want to post here, but you can track any progress I make on the school website (fballben@mailcity.com if you want that). Thanks for any advice you can give me,
Ben

I'm currently eating three meals per day from the school caf. For breakfast I will generally have a pb&j, turkey and ham sandwich, and a lot of water. Lunch is generally a large salad with lettuce, cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, and vegetables and some kind of meat sanwich (usually white meat). Dinner is usually either a large burrito, or whats called a pita melt which is essentially an open faced burrito, along with tuna salad, five of those little cartons of milk and more water.
In season we lift 3x per week emphasizing a lot of power. Our regimen changes almost weekly, but generally sundays we do hang snatch, some type of squat, some type of lunge, pull ups, and a three way shoulder circuit (works the delts)
Tuesday is some variation on push press, db bench, back extensions, and rotator cuff exercises for highreps.
Thursday is lighter, we do box jumps or cleans, incline bench, hip thrusts on a med ball (works glutes, hams, low back) and close grip pushups.
We practice in full pads tw, uppers (shoulder pads, helmet) thurs. walk through fri, game sat.
Practice is usually about 3 hours of your basic football drills followed by conditioning (tues 12 fourty yard dashes, wed 3-5 half gassers- basically 110 yard sprints)
Out of season we lift 3x/ week on I assume what will be a fairly similar schedule as now. We run 4x/week focusing on plyometrics and speed- not endurance/cardio for about an hour.
Every workout includes an extensive ab circuit, and the food here is very flexible, and I can order any supplements online.
We never do more than 5 reps in any exercise using a barbell.
Is there anything else you need to know?
hopefully this helps out a little more.

I'm not an expert, but here is one program you could follow over the next year.

Berardi's Gridiron 1

Berardi's Gridiron 2

Berardi's Gridiron 3

As for diet, the best addition I'd add is to eat SIX meals per day, not three. Your body will recover better from the daily pounding. I'd follow practice with an immediate meal of a protein/carb shake or whatever you can get your hands on along those lines.

Hopefully smarter people will pipe in.

Treat practice like a workout and have a Protein/carb shake right after it. I'd experiment a bit as I saw some guys on my college football team have trouble holding it down after practice. As far as speed goes, talk to your strength and conditioning coach about that I'm sure they should know how to help you out. You could try running hills to develope those muscles better. The biggest problem is your set routine. You could do extra workouts but you have to make sure you get enough food in your body when you do that.

I think you are looking for DOS' input, he usually posts in the training discussion area.
