Jeff Hendrick is banging out the squats and dead-lifts in his off-season gym routine

Not pissing around

Nice of Robbie Brady to show up for the support…

Jeff Hendrick is heading back to Burnley imminently to pitch himself straight into preseason for 2017/18.

The Ireland midfielder did not have much of a summer break in 2016, having represented his country at the European Championships, trained with Derby for the Championship season and secured a rapid promotion to the top flight when he signed with the Clarets.

Even when his first ever full season in the Premier League concluded, Hendrick turned out for Ireland in a summer friendly and World Cup qualifier.

He enjoyed four weeks off but, before he packs up to head back across the Irish Sea, he paid a visit to the Strength Performance Institute to get himself up to speed.

Hendrick posted several videos to his Instagram account as he completed sets of squats, dead-lifts, crunches and kettle-bell lifts.

Brady took in a few sets too before Hendrick stepped up to shift some heavy tin.

Good form, that.

He’ll be ready once 2017/18 kicks off in earnest.
