This Changed My Rugby Training FOREVER
from The Rugby Muscle Podcast · host Rugby Muscle: Gym, Training, Diet and Strength and Conditioning
Improve your rugby performance with this crucial training shift! Many rugby players make the same mistakes in the gym, training harder but not seeing the benefits on the pitch. This video reveals the one fundamental change you need to make to ensure your gym time isn't wasted and actually enhances your game.After 20 years of performance training and over a decade coaching amateur rugby players online, I'm making the case for full-body training. Discover why this approach is superior for rugby athletes, especially compared to traditional body part splits. I'll delve into how it provides more frequent quality exposures to key movement patterns, offers greater flexibility for in-season niggles, and allows for varied training stimuli throughout the week. Crucially, full-body training frees up your week to prioritise conditioning, speed, and actual rugby training, which are often overlooked in favour of gym-focused off-season programmes. Learn why fitness is often the real bottleneck to your best performance and how to avoid sacrificing it for temporary gym gains.Get the Rugby Muscle Training Week Playbook https://rugby-muscle.com/playbookJoin Team Rugby Musclehttps://rugby-muscle.com/team Get personalised 1on1 Coaching from me for S&Chttps://rugby-muscle.com/aaa Get early access to the ALL-NEW 5-day Rugby Athlete Blueprinthttps://rugby-muscle.com/blueprintIf you found this video helpful, please give it a thumbs up to support the channel!
