An aspect that is ( for me ) even more important is your conditioning…

Without the proper conditioning, it doesn’t matter how strong you are…

If you don’t have the rugby fitness to stay part of the game, you are basically just occupying space on the pitch and not really having a positive effect on the game…

I see way to many players concentrating on getting as big as they can. Sacrificing fitness and skills. They think that simply by getting bigger they’ll be better rugby players…

For those of you that do love hitting the weights, I have good news for you… 

Conditioning doesn’t mean you have to run around…

By using the weights correctly you can get an awesome conditioning workout, as well as still lifting heavy and working on your strength…

So stop just doing your 5X5 or 3X5 or 10x10’s and start using the weights more effectively to increase your conditioning…
