Haha I was googling tips on my new position they are testing me out on when I found that video and gave it a shot. It's a pretty good test of core strength, especially since it's in a position that we tend to be in pretty often in our games.
The season is going well! We are 3-0 right now. Also, I found out our team is officially moved up to Division 2 now, which is great, because there was talk of keeping us in Division 3 for another season which pissed us off. This weekend we are playing a Division 1 team so that will pretty much be our biggest game this spring.
How's training going? How's the new house?MISC STRENGTH CREW

That scrum master test is alot harder than it looks. i just gave it a quick try in the house, it's a good variant on a stability ball plank and it'll be good for practicing getting twisted in the scrums.
The in-season stuff is looks good, the cleans work especially id kill to be able to clean over 100kg, 225 for a double is good stuff.
and as much as i love dips, there are allways the first thing to get droped when i have any upperbody niggles.people ask me how to train, and i answer "i look at what you do and then i do the exact oposite"
if your family was captured and you were told you needed to put 100 pounds onto your max squat within two months or your family would be executed, would you squat once per week? Something tells me that you'd start squatting every day

That's a good point about the scrummaster helping with getting twisted in the scrums. Definitely going to keep it in.
Thanks! I want to add more clean work into these. Just trying to keep it short and sweet since we're in a group. We always take out dips if anyone's having shoulder issues.MISC STRENGTH CREW

Warmup:
Upperbody Soft Tissue work with Lacrosse Pall
Foam Roller
Walking Spiderman + Lift and Reach
Single Leg RDLs
Band Pullaparts
Shoulder Dislocations with Band
I really had to roll out my chest and upperback with the lacrosse ball. I still have a small knot in my right pec that's inhibiting some ROM in my right arm.
Workout:
Squat
135x5 210x3 235x3 255x3x8
Decided not to go farther than 8 this time around. I've been feeling pretty tired lately.
Incline Bench Press
165x3 175x3 200x5
Romanian Deadlift
225x15 225x10 225x12
Grip was a limiting factor on these.
Swiss Ball Crunches with Medicine Ball Overhead
12lbsx2x20 14lbsx20
Scrummaster Test
20sx2.
Just did these to show them to one of the guys on the team. It's hard because the swiss balls at the gym are not properly inflated.MISC STRENGTH CREW

Bodyweight Squats
Shoulder Dislocations
Band Pullaparts
Single Leg RDLs
Workout:
Deadlift
290x3 325x3 350x2x8 350x10
First set of 350 was rough, but the 2nd and 3rd set were much easier.
Close Grip Bench Press
170x3 190x3 215x6 135x16
I liked doing the high rep low weight set at the end. I might add these into to my week 2 and week 3 of my 5/3/1 assistance lifts.
Good Mornings

Normally I can hit 20 reps for each of these, but my posterior chain has taken a beating.
Leg Raises
BWx2x20 BWx16
Band Tricep Pulldowns

Did these because my elbow was hurting. I hyperextended it this past saturday.MISC STRENGTH CREW

good to see you got some extra reps in on that last set. looked like you where stalling a bit with the squats an press. How are you finding the 2nd cycle of TJM, i'm looking forward to getting it up and running again when i'm back in the gym.
high rep finishers are great, i did them last time i was in the gym. i'm going to go back to doing them, strength work with finishers for me, i just hate hypertrophy work.people ask me how to train, and i answer "i look at what you do and then i do the exact oposite"
if your family was captured and you were told you needed to put 100 pounds onto your max squat within two months or your family would be executed, would you squat once per week? Something tells me that you'd start squatting every day

Hey Grace! Sorry I've been away. I was actually on a road trip with the rugby team! Not sure how I survived!
I really like that set up actually. I may have to set up my program for something like that.
Yeah I seem to be just evening out with the lowerbody work lately. I'm not really sure what's up with that. I was glad I got more. The 2nd cycle is a little rough. It may be because the sheet i'm using did not use a conservative estimate for my new maxs. I think what helps right now is that I have the 5/3/1 lifts in there as well, so if I'm not doing as well in my TJM lifts, but do well in my 5/3/1 lifts, i'm still making some kind of progress.MISC STRENGTH CREW

4/30/12
Was on a road trip to Maryland this weekend. Played a tournament at a Celtic Festival. Didn't really like the format. It was four 25 minute games. I don't really like that. I think it should have been two 15 minute halves or they should have just made it a 10's tournament. One period just leads to balls to the wall ****ty playing. We went 2-1-1. We were 3rd. I played tighhead prop for the first 2 games, then down to lock. I can't believe I'm saying it, but I love lock after playing prop haha.
BACK TO REALITY!!!
Bench and Deficit Deadlift
Warmup:
Foam Roller
Walking Spiderman + Lift and Reach

Deficit Trap Bar Deadlifts
300x5 350x3 390x6 225x15
Happy with 390x6. Might have been able to squeeze out 1 or 2 more but didn't want to push myself too much.

I was gassed out after the first set. I think I need to work on total volume.
Superset

1B Leg Raises BWx3x15
Dips were rough. Might have burnt out my triceps with benching.MISC STRENGTH CREW

Height is a commodity in the rugby community here haha. I actually lock next to a guy who is quite a bit taller than me. They throw me in the tight 5 because I'm one of the few guys on the team who can scrum all day and still run all over the field. It's sort of an honor/punishment for my endurance.
Yeah it might be a good idea for me to start scaling back my reps and adding more sets for the moment.MISC STRENGTH CREW

nice hungover work. alot of my inseason work gets like that. when i'm hungover in the gym just being in the gym is often then achievement for me and i tend to focus on one lift and if it takes twice as long as i get nothing else done than so be it.
if find i'm the same with the pull ups if i goto failure for 1 or 2 sets the amount of reps drops rapidly. if you can do 15 then i reckon you can bang out sets of 10/8 pretty easily.people ask me how to train, and i answer "i look at what you do and then i do the exact oposite"
if your family was captured and you were told you needed to put 100 pounds onto your max squat within two months or your family would be executed, would you squat once per week? Something tells me that you'd start squatting every day

Just tore my right calf muscle at practice today. Our game this weekend was canceled, so I'm not missing much. Here's hoping that it heals up quickly. Meanwhile I'll be sticking to upper body stuff this week to give it a break.
