Off-Season Rugby/Hypertrophy

Training Powerlifting
1

Coach-

I was wondering if you had any input/suggestions for training in the offseason for rugby and also hypertrophy. I am 5’8" 180-185lbs looking to get a little (maybe 5-10lbs) bigger. I usually play hooker or flanker, and my lifting program typically revolves around heavy squats and deadlifts.

you’ve pretty much answered your own question but if you want a more specific answer look up waikato rugby on google as they have covered every base.

also look up the new south african fitness criteria for aerobic fitness stuff
