First question for people. I've started playing rugby again but want to combine basic strength training with tue/thu training and Saturday games when I play. I can't see where I can get proper recovery in. I'll really need the recovery.
I would go with a three day split say Mon/ Weds / Fri and use the push pull bodypart grouping hitting legs on their own on the third day . As for your program you will need to use a periodization type model something along the lines of Wendler's 5/3/1 . How well you recover will be determined by how well you eat and rest .
