When it comes to maintaining Rugby Fitness, think again. Improvements can be made.
This is a model that is adapted from Charles Poliquin for In-Season. It requires a two-day programme. One session the day after a match and the other two days before.
Thursday was the Explosive Session.
A) Hang Snatch 4 sets of 2 - Rest 180s
B) Deadlift (achilles tendon imflammed so squatting is out at the moment - 4 x 4-6 - Rest 180s
C1) Chins 4 x 3-5
C2) Bench Myotatic Press 4 x 3-5
Felt great after and really light on the feet at the training session that evening. In rugby fitness terms the nervous system is primed!!

Squats and Chins for Rugby Fitness
Had a great workout today with a training buddy of mine.
The intensity was sharp - perhaps after our rugby coach giving us forwards an honesty call last night!
I am looking forward to strapping on the boots this Saturday.
My rugby fitness during the season has a plan but this is always subject to change.
Today
A1) Front Squats 3 x 4-6 - 4010
A2) Bench Press 3 x 6-8 - 4010
B1) Deadlift 3 x 6 - 30X0
B2) Chins - AMRAP
I had to shoot off to a meeting so back later on for some remedial work!

Rugby Fitness In-Season
Had a good rugby fitness session there yesterday - nothing!
Aside from a few rugby related stretches and some arm weights to ease out the rugby match from Saturday, I thought it would be a good idea to just let the body recover.
It was a tough rugby match - one that was poised on a knife edge. Our rugby fitness was good. Our mental discipline probably wasn't where we would have liked it.
Today my rugby fitness will revolve around a quality weight training session with squats, upper body and some remedial work. After that, club training with some more rugby fitness this evening - masked in the form of heavy contact work I would say.
Sometimes you just have to right what went wrong!
And boy I felt sore!
