I'm VERY interested in how some pro athletes workout(mostly NFL players). Examples include: Adrian Peterson, LT, Shawn Merrimam, Reggie Bush, Kobe Bryant, etc. I've tried looking on youtube for some videos but i'm finding zilch. Does anybody know where I can find some information and videos?

Men's health magazine is a pretty good source for this. They'll often have workout plans from professional athletes.
I know off the top of my head that A-Rod always works out at 6AM. And Johnny Damon does his running/jogging up steep hills and mountains.

Most of those programs are made up.
@TS why do you wanna know? Every pro athlete trains differently, because every pro athlete IS different. Think weaknesses, muscle imbalances etc. Your best bet would be to find some well-known trainers that train pro athletes and ask them.
These aren't NFL workouts but pro MMA workouts I've seen and like.

I'd go with the MMA workouts, more cut and less bulk. Plus the MMA body looks better than a NFL's body in my opinion.
Well I'm here to tell you there is such a magic wand. Something that will make you almost completely irresistible to any woman you "point it" at. Something guaranteed to fill your life with love, romance, and excitement.

The Rich Franklin video surprised the hell out of me. I was expecting to see short intervals at high intensity with sandbags, sledgehammers and **** like that, basically what Sean Sherk does, not a non-stop hour on various machines... I guess it's working for him though.

Thanks for those videos. Notice the heavyweight fighters are the ones lifting weights, even light amounts and high reps. The lighter guys are doing mostly everything but traditional weights.
I tried to look up what bj penn does as a workout, since he kicked Sherk's ass. I found this video:

It's just running through mountains at high altitude and mat time. In the second video, you can see that those mats are wet with sweat. They roll a lot.
GSP kicked Penn's ass. He does lift a few weights.

Im thinking most here just wanna look good
NFL players and MMA fighters train for what they get paid to do. Speed, strength, endurance etc
I dont really care how fast I run the 40 meter dash. I just wanna look good at the beach .

Yeah but if you train for performance you will usually look good as a result of that, as long as your diet is good. It doesn't necessarily work the other way around. I don't see the point of training purely for aesthetics and sacrificing athletic performance for aesthetics... it's like putting a big spoiler and flashy paint job on a Honda Civic.
Bud_2005: Pro athlete's work outs are specialized and tailored for their sport, their abilities and the results *they* want to achieve. Unless you're a clone of one, you shouldn't be trying to use their workout.
For instance, most heavy weights in MMA lift a lot. That doesn't mean that lifting a lot is necessarily the way to go for everyone. Fedor hasn't lifted iron in years, he just does bodyweight and still beats up on people.
If you're a beginner, you should do a basic workout that works for beginners. Once you're past the beginner stage, then you move on. Suddenly jumping on some random pro's workout isn't going to help achieve the best results you can.
Also, you gotta figure what your goal is. NBA players and NFL players have completely different goals when they train, and you wanna know how they all work out. The question is, what do you want to achieve?
