Weight / Fat loss

Got one of my worst injuries through being a kebab bloating bother (ie unfit and just a mess). Ironically that was two detached ribs! not fun.

I'm fecking heavy at the moment, with BMI in the medically obese zone, and have very little body fat. Despite looking the part in a rugby top, when I lift my arms to bind as a hooker in a scrum, you could play my ribs like a xilophone. Something our second rows have done several times when things collapse.

Also what D.Generate said about compound lifts is what I was trying to say. Only he put it much much better.

Those exercises are specifically good for rugby. Plus they are the best way to convince your body to build bulk. win win.

I also eat several slices of bread with tinned mackeral each day. The oils help the training, and its another protien source.
