Find out what each player's max is for each of these workouts. Then have them go 70-75% of their max for each of their workouts to add strength and prevent from "bulking up". Warm-up before workout and STRETCH after. You can tailor this workout any way you want, it is in no order. Have them do the work out three times a week which will allow plenty of time of rest and recovery.

I may be a young, but I think I know a little bit about strength training. ;]
