About the Video
NFL Pro Bowl WR Antonio Brown takes strength training very seriously, which has helped him become the first player in NFL history to have powered through more than 1,000 yards receiving and returning in a single season. Brown relies on his
strength endurance workouts to help him put up great numbers as both a wide receiver and kick returner.
Goal: Strength Endurance
Strength is important for any football player.
Wide receivers rely on their strength to be able to power through the frequent and heavy doses of contact. However, being stronger than your opponent is only half the battle. Successful wide receivers must also be able to maintain that strength throughout all four quarters. To go hard when the game is on the line, football players must spend time in the weight room increasing their strength endurance.
Training: TRX Glute Bridge/Row Combo
Brown trains with Pilates-inspired exercises to keep him in top form throughout the entire game. The TRX Glute Bridge/Row Combo strengthens his entire body, especially the
glutes, back, and arms. Simultaneously, the continuous nature of the exercise conditions his body. Enhance full-game strength by incorporating this exercise into any
football workout.
