In a similar way to Mister C, I'm now planning a change in direction.
I want to get back to my old body and get strong again, but want to maintain a decent level of general fitness. To this end I've been looking at both CF strength bias and CF Football. I think CFFB looks like the best of both worlds and seems to have a system I am comfortable with following on a day to day basis.
Has anyone had expereince with either CFSB or CFFb and care to share any issues or positive stories?
Have to also say I'm looking forward to knocking back the milk again...

Done them both and they are fairly similar. I like Welbourne's programming and find it suits my training style immensely (no surprise really as I played football for 20 odd years so it wasn't too big of a change for me). You may find endurance suffers a bit on both; I know short heavy intervals help with this, but I did find my 10K time getting slower.
CFSB was just OK IMHO. If you are anything other than a novice lifter I found the progression to be stunted and I stalle dout a lot on the major lifts doing it. The MEBB model was much better from that point of view.

Thanks dude
I'm expecting some considerable fall off on the endurance side, tbh I'm not too bothered on the front.

Franz - do you follow the rx'd football workout? Don't know why but it seems to lack some key "openers" such as ohs, back ext etc

I was following it as RX'd, and yes, now you mention it some of these are more rare. I usually do these as a flexibility/mobility drill anyway so I didn't miss their programming.
