How I Will Spend My Summer Vacation

It's the middle of May and there is a whole lot going on right now. Somewhere, somebody is gaining a competitive advantage and somewhere someone is resting on their laurels. As a player your season is over unless you play for Cleveland, Denver, Los Angeles or Houston. For many of you out there it's almost time for your Summer Vacation. What are you going to do? Some people like to do this....

Jerry Rice
Wide Receiver, San Francisco 49ers

Dedication is a word often used far too loosely. But in the case of Rice, an athlete known as much for his ungodly regimen as for the fact that he's arguably the greatest pass catcher in NFL history, it truly seems to apply. Just two weeks after last season, for instance, Rice decided he'd been lollygagging long enough — and headed straight for the weight room. "Jerry — he's unreal,"He just works harder than anyone else."

Rice's six-day-a-week workout is divided into two parts: two hours of cardiovascular work in the morning and three hours of strength training each afternoon. Early in the off-season, the a.m. segment consists of a five-mile trail run near San Carlos on a torturous course called, simply, The Hill. But since five vertical miles can hardly be considered a workout, he pauses on the steepest section to do a series of ten 40-meter uphill sprints. As the season approaches, however, Rice knows it's time to start conserving energy — so he forgoes The Hill and instead merely does a couple of sprints: six 100-yarders, six 80s, six 60s, six 40s, six 20s, and 16 tens, with no rest between sprints and just two and a half minutes between sets.

For the p.m. sessions no matter what he's working on, the volume is always the same: three sets of ten reps of 21 different exercises. Yes, your calculator's right: That's 630 repetitions a day.

"Is that all?" you might be tempted to ask. "Well, there is one more thing," replies Raymond Ferris, Rice's personal trainer who, going beyond the call of duty, often performs the regimen alongside his star pupil. "We crawl across the parking lot and see who has enough strength left to open the car door."
