It's fun if you do it with a friend. Gonna be difficult to do the 90day program alone.
It won't get you jacked but it will get you toned and overall healthy. It definitely wouldn't hurt to try it for a month and see if you have the will to keep going.

Better off just jogging if you want to stay healthy.
Speaking of which I just bought an awesome pair of Nike Lunar Glides. Normally I don't like spending a significant amount of money on shoes but I have to say it is completely worth it. It's like walking on clouds.

Jump rope is TEH SEX. I used to do a minute of intense jump rope and a superset of two different exercises as one set. So, for example,
1 minute of jump rope.
Immediately do a set of squats.
Immediately do an ab exercise.
Rest two minutes. 'Twas lethal.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone in here could give me some advice since there seem to be quite a few who know what they're doing.
I'll be finishing an intense several month period of exams/revision soon, and have been pretty much completely physically inactive, and I want to get into good shape before the new college year starts in mid september, because I'll be playing rugby and american football again, and right now my cardio is just not where it needs to be. If knowing my body type helps, I'm about 6'4, currently around 225-230 - I can easily hold more when I convert to muscle, but right now obviously that isn't lean weight.
I haven't really had a regular work out routine since I left high school a few years ago, and was basically hoping to kind of shock my body back into it over the next month and a half, so I have a good start on a realistic routine I can keep up during the year. When training and games start I'll only be aiming for one or two trips to the gym a week max, but for the next 6-7 weeks I'm really up for just getting fitter and stronger in every way.
Massive ramble, sorry about that. I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice, however vague. Thanks.

I assume you have lifted before, as such I would run either the Wendler 5-3-1 or Rip's 5x5 method. A quick google search should lead you where you need to go. If not, ask me. They will take either 3 or 4 days a weeks, do some HIIT on non-lifting days (400m sprints are awesome if your cardio is there) and give yourself 1 day for rest. If you feel good after lifting, you can throw in some LSD, just make sure you take some protein/carbs before you start or you will miss the window.

If you select 5x5 do the original one with power cleans. Whoever made the 5x5(his name is slipping me at the moment) had power cleans instead of deadlift. It was a workout specifically designed for football.

Oh wow, I've just had a look at those and they look very similar to the workout one of our OLB/TEs does, and he's one of the two strongest guys on the team, at about 6'1 200. I actually went with him one day and he uses this low-bar technique on his squats that I'd never seen before - have you heard of it? He says it means you can eventually do weights that your back couldn't handle using the normal high bar method.

Also if you have any good HIIT routines someone can do in a park or something that you could send my way that would be amazing, thank you.

Bench has always been my worst exercise. I just got up my weight for my 3 rep max the other day.

I have strength on bench, just not stamina. I can max 235. Almost threw up 245. Got half way up but couldn't lock it out. Yet I still struggle to rep 185 six times.

I just started doing them on the bench 2 weeks ago and my max jumped from 245 to 260 already. And now I can do 245 twice. I weigh 175.
I've been doing: 135, 155, 185, 205, 225, 245, 260, 225, 205, 185, 155, 135, then the bar 60 times. ******* killer.

Only once
I do chest twice a week, Monday and Friday. Pyramids on Monday, Friday I just do 5 sets on the bench, 3 sets incline dumbbell bench and 3 sets of flies.
Monday - Chest, shoulders, back
Wednesday - Legs
Friday - Chest, biceps, triceps

My short term goal is benching 275 at 150 pounds. 300 pounds used to be my goal but idk if it's going to be attainable if i choose to stay at 150 pounds. I'm kind of hitting a plateau.

Why would you want to stay at 150? Do you fight?
