Russell Wilson has got one ring already in his pocket. The Seattle Seahawks' slinger is up there with
the elite quarterbacks in the league. Find out how he prepares his body for
battle.
How it Works
Wilson lifts weights four days per week. Sessions are split
up into two speed days and two strength days. The speed days focus on variants
of Olympic weightlifting exercises that develop power—this aids Wilson in
running, cutting, and scrambling in the pocket.
The strength days include heavier lifts to build greater
muscle power, as well as corrective exercises to prevent injury. For example,
the dumbbell I-Y-T, band pull-apart, and scap pushup all focus on the upper
back. The stronger the muscles around Wilson’s shoulder blades are, the better
he can wind up for a deep pass, and the healthier his shoulders will be after
hours of throws and brutal collisions.
