[QUOTE="Josht36, post: 774744, member: 70964"] Theres plenty of programs on the internet designed for people looking to build strength. Give Stronglifts 5x5 or Starting Strength a google. Both were at least partly planned as assistance routines for sports. You're likely to need help with olympic lifts. If you have a gym anywhere around you with those sorts of facilities/coaches it may be worth paying a little extra. Training in the right environment can do wonders for results. However at the end of the day you are playing rugby, not weightlifting. If you can work on the core skills for your position all the rest is just bonus. [/QUOTE]
