Tim Tebow focuses on the squat to improve overall power and explosion in his body. The squat is one of the best exercises to do as an athlete.

Tim Tebow’s workout training routine is testament to his work ethic, how much passion he has for the game, and how much intensity he brings to everything in life. Not to mention, he possesses some serious strength and has a true muscular body. His bench press is over 480 pounds and he ran a 40 time of 4.71 secs and did a 38.5″ vertical jump at the 2010 NFL Combine.

Tebow is always working hard. On a given day you can find him flipping tires, pushing SUV’s, sprinting in his backyard while dragging sleds, or perfecting his pass by throwing hundreds of passes. Tebow’s off-season regimen comprises of shoulder work, bench presses, squats, lunges, speed and agility drills, and position-specific exercises with resistance. He can max out with the linemen but knows he doesn’t need to be the strongest guy on the team. Instead, he lifts smarter without hurting his body.

Tebow is doing a barbell hip-thruster, which hits the glute muscles. Having strong glutes creates more speed and explosion. This is one of the more neglected strength training workouts.

At the SPARQ training event, Tebow explained what his workout was like during the off-season to prepare for the NFL: “Well I do a lot. It all starts with your diet, so I always eat a great breakfast because that’s giving your body fuel. I get into my first formal workout then after that I’ll get into weights, my speed work and then my strength training. After those it’s about recovering your body in hot tubs and cold tubs, and hyperbaric chambers. It’s about getting your body used to training and then also recovering. I do a lot of squat jumps, box jumps, anything that builds explosiveness. It’s all about your quickness, your first step, and if you have that, you can compete. For breakfast, Tebow makes sure he eats “a lot of egg whites, a Myoplex shake, and then oatmeal or grits or something like that for carbs.”

Tebow is so fit, he scored the best SPARQ rating of any QB and even a better SPARQ rating than Reggie Bush.
