Chest and Back Routine for Rugby Fitness

Yeah - I know a split routine for improving rugby fitness.

But do you know what? It gets results.

Why? Well you are working on weaknesses all the time, cramming more volume per body part per training cycle and allowing yourself the chance to recover.

I can hear the 'functional' crowd p**sing and moaning as we speak.

I can certainly see their side of the debate. But for sheer progress there is no other way.

Here is what I did today:

A1) Bench DB Prone Grip 5 x 5
A2) Pull Thick Grip - Wide 5 x 5
A3) External Rotations 3 x 10-12 / 2 x 10-12 (2 differing exercises)
B1) 45 degree thick grip DB Bench Press 3 x 6-8
B2) Single Arm Cable Row (Thick Grip) 3 x 10-12 - 1 and 1/4 movement

My torso aches....
