fair enough but they are playing the lions lol(i have to lol whenever i mention that name) i think the game of the weekend will be waratahs/stormers

[monatu]

Ruga or anyone else wanna take a look at that in season routine i posted on the previous page, i think

[ruga buga]

Ruggabugga whats your schools in season weights routine like? does your school give you one?

ours is terrible, im just gonna do a modified version of Joe D's from his site

our SCHOOL in season is:

Monday/Wed (Game is on saturday)

Deadlifts - 8,6,4
Squat/Leg Press/Lunge - Choose one - 8,6,4
Bench - 8,6,4
Chinups
Power Clean (+Press for tight 5) - 8,6,4
Dips 3 sets to failure

Thats it. Monday and Wednesday. Is it just me or is Max Deadlift/Squat twice a week in-season a completely stupid idea. Or does it actually look ok? I tried to do it today and just ended up completely tired after the Dead's/Cleans and everything else was done half ass and not up to proper intensity.

Mine (modified from de francos in season one)

Monday:

Bench 8,6,4
Stiff Leg Deadlift 3x8
Pullup 3x5
Db Shrug 3x10
Tri Pushdown 3x10
Core

Wednesday:

Clean and Press - 5,5,3
ATG Back Squat - 8,6,4
Incline Db Bench - 3x8
Lateral Raise - 2x15
Seated Row - 3x8
Incline Db Curl - 3x10
Core

After 3 weeks I rotate the exercises. I think mine looks better. Max Deadlifts/Squats 2 times a week (with only 1 day in between) is gonna burn me out considering the amount of running we have to do in training and the game itself.

Mate, our school gives us no training what so ever, no one in my team trains other than myself and i just use routines that i posted at the beginning of the thread, running bill starrs now...

Your school routine posted is **** in my opinion, for starters deadlift twice in 3 days, along with squats, bench and clean i the same session... lol what a pile of ****...

yours is better rep ranges seem fine, just a few things i would change
i would do it something like this

Monday:

Bench 8,6,4
Deadlift 3x5
Pullup 3x8
Db Shrug 3x10
Dips 3x10
Core

Wednesday:

Clean and Press/jerk - 5,5,3
ATG Back/front(alternate each week) Squat - 8,6,4
Incline Db Bench - 3x8
Lateral Raise - 2x15
Barbell row - 3x8
Db Curl - 3x10
Core

Yeah that should be a cracker of a game that one. Sharks are giving the Crusaders a solid workout, 13-10 with 13mins togo.

Anybody here playing 1st team schools rugby next year?

[ruga buga]

Anybody here playing 1st team schools rugby next year?

no, the year after though, i hope...

[ElWilson]

Oof - I hear SA schools rugby is really competitive, like 8 teams per year? A few lads who play at my school went on tour with their club to SA and they said the facilities at some of the top schools are sick.

[ruga buga]

yeah school rugby over here is HUGE!!!

8 teams per a year? for what?
they have provincial tournament during july for the best players in the 18 unions and then they select 2 teams comprising of the best players at the tournament and these two play each other.... competitive as hell, but great fun

[ElWilson]

Yeah erm 8 teams per year from A-H or 1-8

[ruga buga]

oh yeah depending on what school but most major schools have 7-8 sides for u17/18 age group, usually about 4/5 teams per u16, 15, 14 age groups

[Dickyw]

Lucky bastards, there's probably not even eight players between 14-16 at my school. I wish i was south african...

Anyone got a favourite for the premiersihp this year?

I reckon its gotta be wasps, maybe Bath, but I can't see anyone else winning it.

[Dom_88]

Hey guys, found another program that looks pretty good for rugby. Just DON'T(!!!!!!!) forget your conditioning.

[ElWilson]

What type of speed training do you lads recommend for rugby? i.e should I be training for 50m speed or 10-20m speed?

[symphony-x]

[Dickyw]

I dunno Bath are looking tasty atm. Especially in the game right now lol 45-0 at half time against Saracens... :O Not a full strength sarries but still :O

Wasps vs Bath had better be the final, that would be succcch a good game.

[ruga buga]

yeah that would be a killer game....

bath are dominating saracens HECTIC!

[symphony-x]

Yeah, but you gotta commit if you wanna get good :P

yeah have to say Bath are looking impressive, but I hear a buzz in the air... its gotta be wasps all the way :P

Anybody here playing 1st team schools rugby next year?

playin 2nds team school rugby this year, but its my last year of school so yeh

got smashed today, something like 40-0 or something

first half they got 6 or 7 tries, but in the 2nd half we kept them to only scoring 1 try and we almost scored off a lineout drive

They had 2 state representative players in the team though, one of which was my opposition in the scrum - was surprised as he really didnt dominate me at all, he had a good running game though - lots of breaks through our backline.

[KieMoxie]

Our boys won 10-7 in the first round of playoffs to make the semis. One of the greatest displays of heart I have ever seen, including a stand at the try line which lasted the last three minutes of the game. I do not know the official word but our defense almost broke down with seconds left but our best player ended up "holding up" the other teams player as he attempted to lay it down in the try line... it was absolute insanity when the final whistle blew everyone stormed the field.

First round of playoffs and we were seed #12 vs seed #5.

care to explain

[Kollungr]

a new form of 'rugby' designed to make all new zealand children into soft cocks.

basically it is touch except the goal is to rip a flag off the side of the opponents shorts(that is the touch)

it was introduced as rugby in the lower grades was declining, so a new game was introduced in an attempt to introduce new kids to rugby, until they grow some balls and play the real stuff.
