Today we go through how to train power as a rugby player, not just looking at exercises you should do, but instead looking at the principles you need to follow if you really want to become explosive and effective on the pitch, and as an athlete.
Sure, that might sound pedantic, but it's important because these principles are both more important and easier to adjust and refine that going through difference exercises.
This episode might just redefine your approach to power training, setting you on the path to dominating the rugby pitch. Enjoy

0:00 Intro
1:00 What adjustment of training should I make when I change position from winger to back row?
12:30 The S&C coach at my club has us do intense cardio blocks then straight into the weight room afterwards. I would do weights prior to conditioning to maximise my lifts if I had the chance. Does it really matter which way round these activities are performed if performed in the same session?
16:45 How would you recommend to try lose body fat whike keeping muscle? But I live on campus where all my meals are cooked for me so it is hard to know what the macros are.
