Below we will be giving you the 8 best WR gym lifts you can do! I hope this can help you out.
There are 4 things I think WRs should emphasize in the gym: 1)- Speed/Explosion 2)- Balance 3)- Stability 4)- Grip Strength
(and obviously you cannot neglect general upper body and lower body strength- helps you absorb hits when you have a bigger body frame)
The exercises below will help you develop the 4 things mentioned above.
Also if you are a WR and you would like an 8 week daily field workout schedule with over 200+ Route running, catching and release drills & an 8 week gym workout routine to follow- checkout the link below! ⬇️⬇️
1)- Weighted Step Ups (one foot on a bench then explosively step up to the bench)
2)- Pistol Squats (helps with stability on one leg)
3)- Hang Cleans (explosion & speed)
4)- Half Jump Squats (only go halfway down then explode up- receivers hardly play below parallel- you can also do 1/4th jump squats or full depth but I feel half give you the greatest benefit)
5)- Farmers Carry (helps with grip strength for catching)
6)- Pull Ups (grip strength for catching)
7)- Any Type Of Core Work (great for balance)
8)- Any type of plyometric training or 1 leg explosive movements (helps with explosion, stability and often times balance)
