Question
hi i play nose tackle at my high school and i want to turn at least some of my fat into big and strong muscles.....can you help me?

Answer
Hello,
This is a very complex question.  I would start training in the weight room at least 3 times per week (i.e. Monday, Wednesday and Friday).  Focus on multiple joint movements and keep the reps somewhat high.  
For example:
Overhead Squats      1 x 10
Barbell Back Squats  3 x 10
Romanian Deadlifts   3 x 10
Calf Raises          3 x 10
Bench Press          3 x 10
Lat Pulldowns        3 x 10
Shoulder Press       3 x 10
Plate Crunches       3 x 25
Russian Twists       2 x 15
Hyperextensions      1 x 15
