[QUOTE="Pikachu, post: 561900, member: 61842"] Hello all! I am looking to join my local rugby team with a few friends come the new season, however, at the moment I am in preparation and am after your wisdom. I am 22, about 5"6/5"7 im not even sure myself, and weigh 66.5kg on a good day. My lifts are Squat (5 reps @ 115kg) Bench (75kg @ 5 reps) and Deadlift (5 reps @ 110kg). I've just come off the back off 10 weeks of Stronglifts and feel pretty good strength wise, however, it's my frame im slightly concerned about, I feel like I need to pack on a bit more size as I can't help but search other scrum halves and see that even Tanaka for the Highlanders weighs 70kg. I have time now to hopefully put on a bit more weight before I get into power/aerobic training prior to the start of the season, but what would you suggest I be doing in order to pack on as much size as I can in the next 6/7/8 weeks or so? Apart from eating alot, what kind of training? Whereas before I've just been doing the main compound lifts at 5 reps. Thanks for the reading this epic post! It took me a whole day of umm'ing and arr'ing as to whether i'd bother posting it, hopefully it hasn't all be in vain! Have a magical day! :cool: [/QUOTE]
