Everything good that you want from yourself is possible.

It’s already inside of you, right now.

Pull it out. Start the doing. Start small.

Every goal begins with sucking at pursuing the goal.

But, constant exposure and compound interest will lead to the good that you seek.

10 Push-ups today isn’t much.

1 mile today isn’t much.

Maybe it’s more than yesterday.

Those 10 lead to the next 20, that 1 leads to the next 5.

Day 1 won’t look very different to Day 6.

But Day 6 will look very different from Day 60.

Compound interest. Keep investing in yourself, one repetition at a time!

Weighted Chin Ups

Can you do a chin up?

How many in a row?

How heavy can you pull for 2 reps?

All are important questions when addressing overall athletic performance and function during upper body pulling.

A strong chin up will do more for you than performing 30 in a row.

A stronger chin up is...

🏉 A stronger pass
⚡️ Improved ability to yeet opposition from rucks
🔥 Broad, stable thoracic spine during scrums, rucks, tackles.

Can’t do a bodyweight chin up?

That’s okay, we can work around it.

Perform feet assisted chin ups!

DM us for the link to that movement.

Now ruck off and get busy getting stronger!!

The weathered, battle-worn, and well-traveled prop laying siege to the process of progress.

SUMO DEADLIFT
Find 3RM for the day

then, take 80% of that for:

3 sets of 4-6 reps

The Sumo is elite in it’s all-inclusive nature. Not a single muscle is left unchanged following a heavy Sumo Deadlift session.

From targeting more adductors, glutes, and traps, to improving on new ranges of motion, stance, and balance, to building massive strength, power and speed - the Sumo reigns supreme.

Especially for taller, larger athletes such as you forwards out there.

⚡️ We’ve got a program for you to get started lifting, running, sprinting and conditioning your way to enhanced performance on the pitch.

Hey, why box squats?

Why SPEED box squats?

All I need is 3 sets of 10, though..?

I will never bash a training method that you follow.

The worst training plan in the world that you follow to a T is better than the best plan ever that you half-ass.

That being said - back squatting for reps (3x10) over and over all summer won’t move the needle for you as much as you want.

Here come box squats. This movement eliminates the stretch-reflex at the bottom of a normal squat.

By eliminating that, your muscles are forced to produce full contraction from a isometric stance, as opposed to relying on a “bounce” from a normal squat.

Picture a slingshot.

You pull it back, let it go, and the object flys.

You do that over and over, but the object doesn’t ever shoot further, faster, or with more force.

Now, picture making a tighter, stronger rubber band.

With application and practice, the object starts to shoot further, faster, with more acceleration and force.

Cue speed squats.

They train speed, force development out of the squat position (scrum, ruck, tackle), to produce MORE power, speed and acceleration.

You can still squat 3x10, 5x5 or 4x8 - in fact, we do all the time.

Adding in Speed Box Squats will create a whole new adaptation for you.

You won’t get far without teamwork.

At any level of rugby, your position could change.

Wingers could go to outside center, flanker could go to inside center, fly half’s could go to winger, 8-man could go flanker - list goes on.

The more you know each position, the more valuable you are.

You will understand the game more.

You will better understand the offense.

You will better understand opposing defenses.

Not only that - you make way for a teammate to come in and make a difference, which could better the team instantly.

Never feel angry, upset, neglected or overlooked by a position change.

Take the opportunity and see it as a chance to be great in a new spot.

By adopting that mindset you will be more valuable, you will expand your own game, you help the team, and you grow as a person.
