pretty intence looking leg workout there, deads and squats in the same day. is that buy choice or force. if your in your off season you could maybe look at adding in an extra day...jus re-read id consider spliting up your leg day to two lower body days if you're in the gym 4days a week.


what postion do you play i'm guesing somewhere in the backs with a bf% that low.(i see you're a backrow)


i really should pay more attention when reading

Well i gota work on my bf. started adding one really crap meal in every day. Im a loose forward. I prefer to play number open side flanker tho.


Im trying to break it into prems next year so just a work out gym trainer came up with. but yeah i chose to do it.

Upper body to night

[toad1]

is the bf a major concern for you or is it more just the extra mass, as surely at you're age and height 85kg isnt that bad...i know its not super big but surely you'll get there with the added muscle mass over a few years. id love to be in a postion where i needed to ad bf it would be rather nice.

if a trainer gave you it i supose you should stick with it, but just cos a training gave you the prog doesn't make it any good ive seen some really bad stuff handed out by coaches. personally id still do squats and deads on different days and just go as heavy as i could with both instead of a sub max lifting esp if your in the gym more than twice a week.....but if its all part of a planed program then id stick with it as ive allways made better gains on proper programs than stuff id just made for myself.

A set of goals i am hopping to gain before start of next session

My goal is to make my local clubs Prem team next. Then Move onto bigger and better thing. Such as making city's representative team(for my age) and some youth development teams.

Always had the skills, discipline and commitment. But i was never selected at younger ages because i was always was small white boy and bigger boys were always picked in front of me. I have always had comments on why i never made these rep teams. But never wanted to admit it was because i was to small haha. Only now i admit it.

So here I am now 5 months solid training before pre-season.

Current
weight: 85kg
bf: 6%
arms: 14.2 inch
chest: 43.3

goal
Weight: 95-100kg

1 rep max
Bench: 130kg
Squat: 180KG

good luck with you're goals. if you get their at 18/19 years old you'll be a machine. it took my 5years of on and off training 4 of which where spent getting drunk at uni to reach those figures and pretty much 2 weeks after i benched 130 i wrecked my rotator cuff and i havnt benched since i reckon ill be 3/4months without bench.


i don't supose they are based on jake white's sa stats by any chance.

Hard luck dne my rotator cuff before i was out for rest of session. haha i try do rotator cuff exercises in my spare time.

Umm yea a read a few post on rugby thread about rugby stats. So yea i got an under standing of what i need.

But coach and i came up with these goals and i am determined to get them!

i get confused what to do with my rotator cuff as some weeks ill do r.c work 3days a week in the gym and feel fine others ill do nothing and feel better i think i jus need a mix of rehab and rest. bench pressing is so sore at the mo its totaly pointless for me which is really annoying me.

love the meal 3 on you're diet plan.. i find that eating 'poorly' during the day isnt that bad for me as i exercise at night so i can allways burn of the bad calories but sometimes eating mc'ds etc is the only way i can find to actually eat enough protien as i get so bored of chicken, steaks and meat all the time.


thats a pretty solid looking leg workout there not long till you'll be at the magic double bw deadlift.

[Urbancohort]

well i ended up having a solid month off all shoulder activity. Went to physio which helped big time. What ended up happening is because i screwed my shoulder it effected all the muscles surrounding it.

Well i find its the easiest way to increase my calories haha. but i do also like the change from clean food.

i cant wait to dead lift double my bw. Should i invest in a belt??

[Urbancohort]

at that kinda weight id expect you to be wearing a belt but if your shifting that much without a belt then its a good thing. i wear one but its more to do with the fact i have a bad back so anything that helps with my core is good for me.....ive decided to to stop squating because of it. ive basically been naturally using the wrong muscles in my stomach area all my life and although these muscle may be strongs the ones i actually need to help my back are pretty weak.


yeh i'm starting to notice muscle imbalances in other parts of my body because of it most off all my lats/back my good side apears to be alot bigger. i was seing physio for it might have to go back so i can get 100% but my shoulders do take a really long time to recover playing front row really doesn't help.

[Urbancohort]

Hmm think i might get one.

Well with me I noticed with me one shoulder is higher then then other. Due to injury. Had to correct if by doing light free weight exercises and strengthen rotator cuff.

[Urbancohort]

Missed on my speed work today. Had surf lifeguard duty's which took all day. Tooo tired and depressed about wellington losing final
