Answer
well siraj, my expertise is in the ameirican football league, not with soccer. but I have played rep soccer so I can try to help you. well to start things off, weight training does not make you slower. it makes you faster, stronger and heavier. as long as your doing cario and aerobic exercise along with the weight training, you will not get any slower or stay at the same speed level. you can only go up. Im not sure if you have facilities or equipment available to you, but if you dont, you will not be able to weight train. using your body weight ( pushups, situps etc..) will only get you so far, and hardly make you physically stronger, it will only make you handle your own body weight stronger. but if oyu do have equipment and facilities available to you, your going to have to ask a coach or a friend who knows what theyre doing to show you and teach you, because i cant do that through a computer. If you know some exercises and how to do them, go ahead. but for more exercises and how to do them, i would reccomend using google or youtube. they work very well.
thanks.
