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

I would stay away from squatting, only because I read an article on it causing problems in youths. However, I've read nothing of the sort in regards to the deadlift. That being said, I would have someone knowledgeable teach you that lift. You don't want to short change yourself when it comes to form on that particular movement.

8/5/12
Tuesday - Club Rugby Training
Posting this late, been quite busy lately and honestly could not be bothered but I'm finally typing this up. Today was basically all based on running, endurance, speed etc. And I actually thought I was going to collapse at one point. The session was run by our coach and a London Broncos academy player to kind of give us a basic taste of what they do, even though are training is nothing to theirs.
Warm Up
We started off straight away with suicides at a sprint, I knew that this would be a longgg training session:
50M Suicides (split into 5) x 5 times
Passing along a line with lines of 4 people
Then we did some sprint intervals around the pitch - sprint for 50m, slow jog 50m, slow jog around the pitch by the goal posts, sprint 50m then jog 50m.
Tackle Pad Work
After all of that we did some exercises with tackle pads. People on the pads were in pairs and there were 3 pairs set out in front of us.
Breaking Tackles from the pads - We did this 5 times and if it wasn't done at game speed we had to run the pitch
Leg Drives - We had to hit the pads hard and then drive our legs to try and break through them.
Resistance Leg Drives - After the pad leg drives we got into pairs and we had to hold each other off by their shoulders for 5 seconds and then let them go and sprint for 10m. The guy I was with is a straight BEAST, he's shorter than me and is quite stocky and muscular and he reminds me of a ray rice/maurice jones drew and he's just so powerful and fast. Was hard holding him off and he always got low when running.
Sprints.
Coach then set out a lane of 50m and I knew that we'd be sprinting. The 50m were split into 5 sets of 10m, we got into pairs and did this:
5x10m sprints
5x20m sprints
5x30m sprints
5x40m sprints
5x50m sprints
This was crazy since your sprinting 50m and then have to jog back fast 50m! By the time we got near the end nobody was sprinting though and I was barely alive. Once we were done We ran the pitch and then got a drink. Downed two 500ml bottles of water in like 1min and a half, but I also poured some on myself lol.
Practice Game and Core
Then we played a 7 on 7 game for about 20mins which was quite good, scored one try.
Finished training session with a core workout - killer!
We did:
Planking
Crunches
Push ups
And we raised our legs up while we lied on the floor in a crucifix position.

Just weighed myself, new night weight is 145 and 65.9 kg, bulk is coming along well, slow and steady. Also people in my school were saying my arms had gotten bigger (started wearing short sleeve shirts again) so that good too. Funny thing is my arms aren't big they've just grown a lot due to me lifting more

Definitely get into squatting, probably my favourite excercise. Awesome for building leg mass and it will help you in rugby. As for getting the form right I advise you watch some videos on squatting, after that the form should be pretty obvious. You want to go to at least parallel (legs at 90 degrees) or further, if you can't go to parallel then lower the weight. If you're really struggling with form, film yourself squatting and post it on the forum and ask people to critique your form. Gl with your goals!

Tuesday - Club Rugby Training
Ok, I'm posting this late, been very busy with school and stuff. Anyway the focus of this training session was ENDURANCE, they got us running low right off the bat and then we did some more game based stuff.
Warm Up
We started off straight away with suicides at a sprint, I knew that this would be a longgg training session:
50M Suicides (split into 5) x 5 times
Passing along a line with lines of 4 people
Then we did some jogging around the entire training ground, every time we had ran 200m we dropped down for an exercise. They were:
- 50 situps
- 25 pushups
- 20 burpees
Sprinting
Coach then set out a lane of 40m and I knew that we'd be sprinting. The 40m were split into 2 sets of 20m, we got into fours and did this:
Ankle flicks for 20m - Jog for 20m - x3
Butt kicks for 20m - Jog for 20m - x3
Kareokes for 20m - Jog for 20m - x3
Jog to 20m - Jog back 20m - Sprint 20m - x3
Flat out sprints - x5
This was a killer, thought I would literally collapse but i toughed it out.
Practice Game
We then had a full pitch practice game for 15 mins, this was very good, hardly got touches though because I was out on the wing
Core
We did:
Planking
Crunches
Push ups
And we raised our legs up while we lied on the floor in a crucifix position.
Positional drills
Me and the other winger then got called by the coach to practice kicking drills with the kickers, I basically ran 20m over and over for about 15 reps. Was pretty good thoughBench: 255lbs (115kg)
Squat: 320lbs (145kg)
Deadlift: 430lbs (195kg)

Had a Borough Athletics Competition yesterday. My year group ended up winning out of about 12 schools. I didn't even intend on going but my coach said that if I wanted to he could get me out of school if I ran the relay so I accepted and we ended up 2nd in the relay and first in our heat. Now have rugby training in an hour and it's 27 degrees, gonna be so exhausting!

There were also some beast athletes there, one guy was in year 8, about 2 inches shorter and ran 100m in 11.3 at age 12 or 13! And another guy who was a year 10 ran it in 10.43 sec, left guys in the dust and then looked back just to rub it in!
