How Hard Do You NEED To Push Yourself? What To Do With Injuries like Tendonitis? 6 Nations Predictions - TJ Q&A #142

Today TJ is answering a bunch of questions from the Rugby Muscle Athletes Facebook group which you can join here:https://www.facebook.com/groups/747438958657780/Use this group to join the 6 Nations pool too!Today's questions:In fitness classes we’re usually “encouraged” to push outside our comfort zone to the max, never give up until we’ve given our all, leave our dicks on the field, etc. I see that's probably how you become the best the fastest, but what if I’m just trying to gradually get better? Won’t I also get stronger if I just go a tiny bit outside my comfort zone every time? Do I really need to go to my limits? Or is that just how bodies work? - Locky Jay - I have a dodgy Achilles that is manageable and slowly making progress. I can`t do any jump work or it flairs up. Any advice on how to increase explosiveness and power without jumping in training?- I have been battling tendinitis in both elbows (and some biceps tendinitis on the proximal side). Any suggestions for curl or forearm work I should either be including or avoiding?- Matt Scahill - Not sure if this is too late or will be considered for next time. My question is, is keeping hold of extra weight beneficial if strength levels are fairly low at the minute? as at least you have more mass to throw about? -Who you got for the 6 Nations? And what do you think of Super Rugby?Support the show
