  • My new gym opens at the end of this month and after getting under 14stone (and watching the opening couple of games at my club) I need more useable mass.

    I plan to get there before work as often as possible, preferably everyday, for an hour. I plan to target different areas on different days (eg Mon - shoulders and back; Tue - chest and tris; Wed - biceps and lats etc etc) and go for big weights with more food/protein shakes for breakfast (as opposed to my current zero breakfast regime).

    This may or may not work but we will see. First game back in November so will only really know if it has made a difference by then.

    I also plan to alternate between running and cycling in (only 3 miles each way).

    Start each session with a short sharp shock exercise. To get the body in a panic. I start by lifting a barbell from the floor to my waist, then to my shoulders, and then press up.

    Thats, AFAIK, the current fav rugby weights exercise with the RFU.

    As above, fuel the session, and recover with whey protein + more fuel. I also take complex amino acids prior to training, and kreatin every morning.

    Manged to get to a buff 86Kg, benching max 115Kg, before developing tennis elbow in both arms*.

    (* may be a warning not to take my advice too seriously perhaps)
