from The Rugby Muscle Podcast · host Rugby Muscle: Gym, Training, Diet and Strength and Conditioning
In this episode, I break down what rugby-specific training actually looks like. Most players think it’s all about doing drills that “look like rugby,” but that’s not it. I go through the 5 key areas—strength, power, speed, aerobic capacity, and movement—and show you how to apply them properly to your training.
