Well, maybe mix it up a bit. Alot of it comes down to how your individual body reacts - in my case, I try and stay away from the heavy weights/ low reps because I am quite short (taller than Shaun Wright-Phillips though ), therefore the muscles are shorter, therefore they react alot quicker to training for muscle growth. It is alot easier for a smaller person to get bigger than a big person to get bigger... being part-maori probably helps too, you might have seen those guys on a rugby field perhaps... anyway, when I say mix it up, maybe try 4-6 weeks doing less reps/ high weight, and then 4-6 weeks doing higher reps/ less weight. Then repeat it. You also want to make sure that you are getting a full stretch, especially for a game like football, doing heavy weights can sometimes 'stiffen' the muscle up and make you more prone to injury.

So yeah, try and mix it up a bit. Also think about the sort of exercises you do. There is none better for getting bigger legs than squats, but when you do the higher reps/ less weight part, you might want to think more about the shaping exercises like leg extensions/ lunges rather than squats.

Make sure you look at doing the sprints (both flat surface and uphill) though, for fitness purposes and endurance.

Heh, keep on going Sanel, injury forced me to pack the game in at a young age, but it would be class to see SG being represented on the pitch at a good level.

rhizome17 gave you some excellent advice, i'd try those things he said, he seems to know more than me.

Nah, mostly comes from different coaches I have heard (not all from football mind you). The uphill sprints stuff comes from a basketball coach... he reckons you do them to increase your power for short burst of acceleration, and that is pretty essential in football as much as in basketball.

The rest comes from my experiences training for Rugby.... but the emphasis is more on getting bigger than in football... and the abs stuff comes from boxing training... mix n' match.
