Getting ripped in football

It's important to have upper body strength because nowadays football is demanding. We need upper body strength to keep the ball, shielding and while running shoulder to shoulder with a defender. Other benefit, when we have more muscle, it easy for us to burn more calorie even when we sleep. Basically, football players have a lean body because of high level of endurance and aerobic training. They also do weight training in the pre-season. That is why when you are a great shape, you can perform at your peak performance. These are some of football players which I really adore their shape and upper body muscle.
