What are some good upper body and ab workouts?

i am 15 and play football and i want to build some muscle so i can perform better, so does anyone know any good ab and upper body workouts.
please help

Burpees: from standing go to a squat, then kick both legs out behind you and come to a push up position, do a push-up then pull your legs back in under you and jump up in a ’starburst’. Repeat.

Do sets of as many as you can handle (5, 10, 20), intersperse it with sprints or just good old crunches. For an extra kick do this under a pull up bar and when you jump up, do a pull up.

    Dum bells. For your age, probably try 25 pounds, 5 reps 10 sets a day.

    Upper Body: Bench press. military press. push ups. curls. dips. and rows. many many more to name

    Abs: use a ball to do sit ups instead of off the floor. there are a lot to do and i could send you my college football workout if you’re interested.

    Hollow Holds
