NFL Combine Trainer: 8-Week Program The NFL Combine tests multiple skills for a very simple reason: Success between the lines takes speed, power, strength, agility and more. This 8-week program will improve it all. Email More by Pete Bommarito Feb 01, 2012

Follow Phases One and Two in sequence, for a total of seven weeks of work. It won't be easy - nothing worth doing ever is. But the results will speak for themselves.

You'll quickly realize that these aren't your standard gym moves. Take your time to learn proper technique and good form. For more information, refer back the other NFL Combine Trainer videos. The last thing we want is for an injury to sideline you before you even hit the field.

Note on tempo: Exercise tempo dictates the speed of a full repetition of an exercise, expressed in seconds. The first number is the speed of lowering, which is the eccentric phase of an exercise. The second number is the pause at the bottom (the stretched portion) of a movement. The third number is the speed of raising, which is the concentric phase of an exercise. Thus, 1-0-1 means you spend 1 second lowering, no pause, followed by 1 second raising. If there is an X in the tempo, it refers to lifting explosively, or as fast as possible under control.
