Our football program does not individualize their weight program as much as BFS will allow you to do. Another reason we get better result is that our kids like recording lifts (on paper) and then seeing if they can beat their lifts from the month before (we repeat our cycle after 4 weeks). It allows them to see the strenght gains/results on a shorter time frame.
I won't go into the phys. results of max weight/low reps vs light weight/high reps and all of the combos. that can arise. Their is plenty of research out there on this topic. BFS gets the results we want in our baseball program.
We will also mix it up and do heavy ropes, slosh pipe, etc. for a change of pace one or two weeks a semester.
