We used to do "bulldog squats" on Mondays in the offseason.

The last set you had to do 20 reps of 50-75% of your max - it was terrible

Anything the coaches did with absolutely no purpose other than making as many people puke as possible. Happened in both football and track

100 yard march.. Start at goal line.. combinations of bear crawls, sprints, squats, lunges, frog jumps, backwards running, side shuffles and any other thing you can think about until you hit the other goal line.

Called them Circuits at bootcamp. 3 stations 15 yard apart, after practice while Still in pads, I think one station was burpees, one was crunches (the easiest one), one was push-ups


A couple times we practiced twice during the day and they told us we worked our arse off so no circuits today. Then they would put us to sleep and wake us up at 3:30 in the morning and make us do those circuits they said we got off from doing. We'd be done by about in time to start the morning practice


We started getting smart and would pick a night where we would wake the coaches up instead of the other way around and start kicking them out of there beds, which pissed them off but they were tired so they ended up calling practice early

A lot of stuff sucked... but I hated the ab routine we'd have to do in basketball.

Basketball: running lines

Football: wind sprints

Rugby: 3 man shuttle drill*


*Rugby was well after high school, but the suck factor remains.

Running/conditioning after practice. Most of it was just some sprints, but the two that stood out were pretty awful.

Coach called one the Buffalo. Line up with your position set. WR/DB went first, then it was RB/MLB, QB/Safety, TE/OLB, and finally OL/DL. Start at the goal line, and sprint 10 yard then jog the other 90. As soon as the last guy in the group was 10 yards past the sprint point, coach blows the whistle and the next line goes. Then start lining up again. As soon as the last of the OL/DL passed the other goal line, the WR/DB group would sprint 20 then jog the other 80. You continued this until you were eventually sprinting the entire field. I was good up until 60. 70-80-90-100 about killed us all. The worst part was if anyone was loafing on their jogging, the whole team had to run that section again. So we would get to 80 and some lineman would be dragging the last 20 yards of his sprint and coach would yell at us to do that part again.

The other they just called the gridiron. You ran every line on the field. Start at the goal line in the corner, and you sprint to the second hashmark and jog to the other sideline. Jog up 5 to the next yard marker and then sprint to the second hashmark. You ended up doing 22 sprints in all with just the last 1/3 of the field and the next 5 yards up between.

When coach wanted to be cruel it was all about the Pencil Rolls until somebody puked.

I don't remember it having a name, but friday conditioning during the summer would conclude with a mile.
The first 100m were lunges, 100m jog, 50m bear crawl, 50m sprint, 100m jog, and repeat for 4 laps.

Another least favorite was monday conditioning when we would run gassers, complete with whistle burpees throughout the run.

Gassers...at least that's what we called them.

Basically a shuttle run from one sideline of the football field to the other and back twice. Time limit based on position. RBs, WRs, and DBs had to do it in under a minute. If you didn't make the time, everyone in your position group had to run extra ones.

It was the last thing we did on the afternoon practice during 2-a days. Brutal.

I forgot about those. We would try to sprint as fast as we could because if you got to the other goal line you would have less burpees to do. It always alternated between burpees and belly flops. Run, whistle blows and hit your stomach and stand back up, and keep doing them until the whistle blew again, and then it was back to running.

I also forgot about poles. They were used for discipline. Missing a practice, or something else discipline worthy. Like getting in a fight at practice. They had two full length telephone poles laid end to end in the grass outside the track. You had to jump them back and forth from one end to the other. One trip down and back was 1. The trip back had to be done jumping over them backwards. They were usually sets of 5 or 10. Your thighs and calves would ache for days.
