To get faster for football and increase agility
on the football field, Malcolm Simmons is usually
very careful about which exercises you choose to
use to get quicker. The wrong exercises will not
only NOT make you faster, but can actually make
you slower! There are literally thousands of
exercises out there...how do you know which to
use to get faster?

Magazines, web sites and self-proclaimed experts
are constantly throwing new, odd-exercises at
you, claiming they'll help you get faster as
football player! But, the truth is, the basics
are what give you the biggest speed as football
player. Malcolm Simmons is always after football
speed, not simply track speed or improving his
testing numbers!

• Box squats to Get Faster for Football
• Box squats are king of the football speed
  training hill. If you want to truly get faster
  for football, do box squats. They build raw
  strength in the glutes and hips and dynamic
  strength in the glutes and hamstrings. This is
  especially important for football where the game
  starts from a dead stop and can often be played
  in a stop-and-start fashion. Think of how a
  running back sprints to the hole, gets to the
  second level, stops, makes a move, and explodes
  again. This is the kind of explosive speed box
  squats build. Malcolm Simmons used box squats as
  a dynamic effort movement, thus improving his
  rate of force development.

Snatch grip deadlifts Talk about underused
exercises...the snatch grip deadlift is a
bonafide "get faster for football" all-star
movement. Because of the wide grip, the body is
forced into a much lower position, which makes
the hamstrings, glutes and hips work harder.
Harder is good when it comes to getting stronger
and faster. This is also a great indicator
exercise. Typically, as the snatch deadlift goes
up, so do all other leg movements.

The key here is to start with the hips lower than
normal (this will happen naturally) and actively
"sit back" when you pull, keeping the back flat.
Malcolm Simmons turned this from the traditional
Olympic lifting movement into more of a
powerlifting deadlift, keeping the shoulders
behind the bar and the body sitting back. Again,
go for low rep sets. This can easily be used as a
max effort movement, especially on a day when you
don't feel up to hitting a super heavy squat or
deadlift. While you still go heavy on the snatch
deadlift, it's still lighter than those exercises.
