QUESTIONS

Matt Lowe

 Is there any strengthening workout to help find that quick explosive out for a flanker out of Scrums ?


David Thompson

  I’m coming back to Rugby after more time off than I played... I’m that old. I’m after getting into “survivable “ shape i’m doing what I need to do to avoid injury. I’m getting there with a base level of cardio and flexibility but need to start working on strength/size/ weight and speed. Here’s the question. Given we’re months away from match play, what training stages should I be looking to break the next 4 months down into?

 Following on from comments on a recent pod about elliptical trainer, I was thinking about getting a rowing machine to help with aerobic work (idea being to reduce stress on leg joints and engage upper body more). Do you think this would be a worthwhile purchase?


Gage Gibson
