Guest Trainer!

This weekend I had great pleasure in having John Brooks stay with us.

Apart from eating us out of house and home we had a great weekend.

What a guy.

I suppose one lesson I have learnt off Brooksie is constancy of purpose ( a bit of a motto of mine)

However, that didn't stop us cranking out a rugby fitness session at my training studio Sunday evening.

Our rugby fitness workout was 10 sets of 50 yrd famers walks with thickened grips then a cheeky superset of Squats (with Chains) for sets of 3-5 and a Push Press with a fat bar for sets of 8.

Yes getting stronger is crucial but being able to replicate this is equally as important.

Needless to say - my traps and upper back are in a hoop and my legs feel like they have been removed from the rest of my body.

He showed me a terrific exercise for scrummaging strength with a pulley. I will definitely add this to the rugby fitness side of the site soon.

I am off for a massage!
