[QUOTE="O'Rothlain, post: 195804"] Yeah...Good observations. This is not a good workout if you are wanting to bodybuild. This is for sport, which are two different theories of training. "Barbarian Day" is exactly like making your whole body do sprints. The main theory behind this sort of training is [b]endurance[/b]. I don't like 3 Day a week workouts personally, but with my team (and from conversation a lot of the guys here) they can (more precisely [i]WILL[/i]) only give 3 days to weight lifting. There are a load more exercises you could do if you were willing to give 4-5 days to weight lifting. However, for playing rugby, I do recomend throwing in one "Barbarian Day." It really pushes your body. Sports training versus Body building should rely on more plyometric and full body exercises. The idea to keep in mind is "Athletic Movements" and doing exercises that you can apply on the field of play. I hope this makes some sense. Again, for a 3 day workout program this is intense and will definitely get the job done (espeically for those not currently doing any sort of training, or minimal and unsuperviesed training). (We'll be at the Dallas 7's June 7th, Parrotheads, Zeekers (I know I'll see you there) and Tornado Alley. So, we should meet up at least once.) [/QUOTE]
