Background
I played rugby for four years in high school but I had to sit out my first season in college due to patellofemoral syndrome. I'm working back from that injury, and slowly conditioning myself to match fitness. I typically play flanker, but my agression allows me to play any pack position or as a center in the back line if necessary. I have competed in a two powerlifting meets, winning both.

For the first couple of weeks cardio will be done on off-days; mostly on the row machine, stationary bike, light jogging, until my knee gets into running shape. Then I will do cardio three times a week; 1 sprint speed session, 1 longer distance fartlek, and 1 day of swimming / hiking / biking etc.Last edited by lionsrugby12; 05-24-2009 at 03:36 PM.

Just thought I'd post a video of me maxing out from around January. It was my max-out day and my previous best was 365, I hit it easily, then moved up to 385, hit it, 405 hit it, and then this is my last set of 425. The rep was slow and form is kind of sloppy but hey it's meet passable and a 50 lb PR.
I'd like to guess that my 1RM is right around 475 right now. Going from 315 x 1 to 475 x 1 in less than a year isn't too shabby.Last edited by lionsrugby12; 06-01-2009 at 05:06 PM.

*****ty workout today, I felt a little tricep strain benching after monday's workout. really hurt for the rest of the day, then on tuesday felt a little better, and today even better but I think that's why I was pressing low numbers.
