depending on how much you train with the team, i probably wouldn't do anymore lower body stuff for recovery reasons...the best option would be sled drag variations as there is no eccentric contraction and therefore less muscle damage so recovery should be achieved...maybe sonme exercise bike interval also but nothing more

ok..but our coach says to get in 40 min. of running in over the weekend.We beat Ripley 48-14 YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!but thanks for your information.
