In-Season Workouts

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!!
