I'm old and like my recovery so weight train tuesday and thursday mornings, go to work, then go to club training in the evening on both days. I play on saturdays. It works for me.

this is so wrong, our scrum half is of similar proportions to the ones quoted above and his technique in the tackle is awesome. Coming in hard and low round the knees he can easily put some one like...

Let me know how you go "hooking" up with them. They are a professional side in the second tier of clubs. Go to geographical location they tie in with Leicester Tigers a bit, for example Tom Youngs...

Having a rest to try and get rid of a shoulder impingement i should have rehabbed months ago. Feel free to shout out a whole list of obscure exercises i can probably still do. Cheers all.

jealous. our game was cancelled as the opposition couldn't get a team together.

i ran it for 9 cycles through last season and make constant, although slowing by the end, gains. I kept it heavy and simple, and didn't bench.

I just did:
Deads + reverse hypers + abs

OHP +...

My long off season is probably due to me playing in a lower standard of league than you. I play in eastern counties 1, which is one below the london leagues. Our last game was 1st May. Preseason...

I know i can maintain/gain a little, i managed it last season. Its just having the above off season gains in as little as 7 weeks have been so sweet.

First preseason training at the club tonight and i have to say i'm a little disappointed to be going back. I've put 15kg on my squat, 5kg on my dead and 10kg on my pushpress and am 6kg heavier with...

rugby over for the season, bad times.

having pushing handles welded onto my sled for £40, good times.

I'll share my current training program with you as i have made probably my best progress since newbie gains ended and i did it in season.

Day 1.
Deadlift (using wendlers 531)

Had a lovely game this weekend against an opposition with an awful front row, we won 14-0, with both tries coming from push over scrums. The first from 10yds out, the other from the 22.

Also their...

toad1, lhprop1 i need some pointers. i've played both sides forever although always been more comfortable at tighthead. I have been asked to play loose this weekend and its been ages since i have...

Toad, your squat is very enviable. Are you trying to get your deadlift up to parity? As a fellow prop i've found that a big pull is more beneficial to me than a big squat.
