And this is me starting this thread I hope you all enjoy.
My case, I want to make a comeback at rugby...for a last season.
Yes, yes, I crave it and TRF makes me even more thirsty...
Almost mid 30s but in top shape for my current sport (I beat easily every guy in or below my weight class), grappling/wrestling. Besides that, I work out three days per week like this
A day
Squat
Barbell row
Bench press
B day
Lunges
Pull ups/chin ups
Shoulder press
C day
Deadlift
Dips
Yates row
Bodyweight exercises are performed with gymnastic rings
I'd play as an openside flanker as I did in my previous time at rugby. It's not so hard find out why, given my other (lifetime) sport; strong balance, strong grips, takedowns and explosivness. Weeks in season will go like this;
Monday; gym
Thursday; rugby training
Wednesdey; gym
Thursday; rugby training
Friday; gym and team meeting
Saturday; match
Sunday; hangover, rest and getting from time to time "We need to talk" from my gf haha
Now the questions whether there is some specialist in that matter; how should I adapt for a less explosive and more endurance based sport?
Last day at the town sport facilities, I tried to imitate how an openside works at rucking for example; continuous running at slow pace for 20'', then a 30m sprint and a set of 5 barbell rows.
Does it make sense?
