Rugggbys Training Log

Good to see you got some more PRs up. Nice work mate.

Did you say you went from labouring to PT (or the other way round?)

I’m qualified but started labouring again for quick money and sort of can’t get away atm, its a tricky situation.

Did this workout rushed and on an empty stomach. My mp is rapidly decreasing. Fml

Off to do some sprints and sand bag carries.

Should be same as last cardio workout.

What qual did you do? I’m thinking about doing one, maybe the cheap FIE one?

Because my mate is doing the YMCA one and he said it’s not mindblowing, ok but he reckons i’d be able to pass it… except i don’t have a spare 3-4k…

It’s not hard mate. If you enjoy this, which being on this site you clearly do, then you will smash it. I THINK I went through CYQ, but I honestly can’t remember. Mine wasnt a 6 week crash course, it was through a college.

Thanks mate, I appreciate it. Have you been able to get some clients yet?

I haven’t advertised or applied at all mate. Like I said, work atm is complicated and its hard to get away. But I have had friends and friends of friends asking. I’ve trained a few but turned most down.

suicide

rugby pitch for reference

did well in the tournament. Completely broken now… got cheap shotted and my shoulder popped out and back in. So unable to do any upper body for a while, gonna try and bulk for pre season, doing heavy work plus cardio and eating like a champion

Quick update.

Elbow and shoulder are still fucked. No upper body whatsoever atm. Just been hammering legs. New squat 1rm is 160. Added good mornings in as well.

Legs are 28inches pumped and 27 cold and flexed.

Weight is 93.6kg. Heaviest I’ve ever been

Ramped up to a 160kg x 2 squat yesterday and 105 x 4 bench today. Will post full sessions soon. Pulling is still out of the equation.

Tendonitis in my left knee. Have to miss squatting for a while. Weight is 95kg

Get your body sorted fella! Good to hear the squat PR and weight is up, gotta be looking beastly now. Good luck with rugby!

Just looked through your training, good stuff mate! Judging from your pictures the regular rugby/cardio is keeping you pretty damn lean and with pretty good strength and size. Keep it up I’ll be following

Cheers for the kind words fellas.

Even though I’m over 15 stone 5 ft 9 and same bf as the previous pics, my shape is shit. Neglecting biceps and long arms = bad move lol. I’m fixing that now though, as my legs fucked (seeing physio tomorrow) I’m hammering upper body 6 times a week.

Hit 120 x 1 BP a few days ago.

Powerlifting style or elbows out?

My set up is shoulder blades pinched together, but that always goes out the window as the weight goes up.

Always elbows flared, tbh I completely forgot about powerlifting style bench lol. Thanks for reminding me!

No neglecting arms mate I’ve finally learned it’s not worth it! Ha.

Good PR, don’t let me catch you up though, reckon I could nail about 105x1 now at a push :wink:

But how much do you weigh?! My strength to weight ratio is shit!

A tip mate, to really hit your front delts - steering wheels.

Hold a plate at 10 and 2. Raise it infront of you to face height, turn left then right, then left and right again, then to neutral and lower. Repeat 3 sets of 8 reps as a finisher.

I’ve never had a pump specifically to one area of the shoulder before. Hope it helps.
