This completely depends on what phase of training you are in: accumulation, intensification, or realisation. Check out this video for how we do it in season: ua-cam.com/video/O-xnqTKs0Xg/v-deo.htmlsi=EdPmeH92Y25tf_h2

@CoachFmt ok sir thank you

You can use straps, but I don’t like straps for doing cleans. In this video, I was using wrist wraps. Sometimes I use them if I’ve been doing a lot of BJJ. Feels comfy.

@CoachFmt Oh my bad. I thought they were lifting straps. Sorry.

It’s variable depending on the focus of training. My in-season video breaks the sets and reps down: ua-cam.com/video/O-xnqTKs0Xg/v-deo.htmlsi=EdPmeH92Y25tf_h2

You should! Try your local club. Video part two pending…

@@cristinadias1299 mate, I would hope the sports specific conditioning is within your “three days of training”. With focus shifting depending on how close you are to games etc. Drop me an email with more context and I can help more 🙋‍♂️

Appreciate it!

Welcome 🙋‍♂️

@@HarshaYadav glad you enjoyed it mate.

It’s 40kg for sure - though actually this is something I have being saying to my players when they grab 20kg...You use your whole body to snatch the weight overhead - so don’t take a weight you can bicep curl! It’s all in the legs! Once you’re warm and your technique’s down, you’ll smash 40kgs too 💪

I can’t say that I ever have. Though we have added band resistance to certain “skill” exercises such as wall drives etc.

You’re welcome.

Every exercise can have its place if performed correctly. Crunches are good for the anterior core, and of course, loading/sets/rep will depend on the person. These were just a couple of examples which are pretty solid.

Noted!

💪

Hi there. Check out my video: how to become more explosive for rugby. That will give you more context.

@@rayralph7040 great tune! 🎵

Before you start any intervention it’s a good idea to know objectively “where you’re at” so that you can programme the best intervention to get you to where you want to be. This is one of a few reasons why we test periodically. You don’t HAVE TO test before you start an exercise programme, you can simply start and adjust as you go. However, a more systematic and methodical way would be to establish a base point and push on from there.

There are many mobility exercises you can try, however; you may want to just take a cross grip and get the benefits of front squats straight away without waiting on your shoulder/ wrist mobility to catch up. I outline the two grips I recommend in this video here: ua-cam.com/video/Er9bPB7nSII/v-deo.htmlsi=f0R_cyjSTYQapWsG

@@kansascowboy5721 it could be a number of factors but the main two are: 1) better connection to the ground (no big cushioned trainer which create instability) 2) comfort NB not all gyms allow this. Converse or lifting shoes can be a nice alternative.

Thanks 🙋‍♂️. Yes, we’re lucky we have him as our coach/ prof 🥋 ✔️

Thank you for the kinds words.

Thanks mate 🎩

@@DP-um1ck you just gave me an awesome idea for a new video…🤣🤣🤝

Incorrect. It’s a Panda Pull (clean grip) and not a High Pull because: 1. High pulls were concerned about pulling the bar up; whereas in speed pulls (aka panda pulls) we’re dropping under the bar after the second pull. 2. The Panda/ Speed pulls should be quicker than high pulls. 3. High pulls better for strength/ hypertrophy protocols, panda pulls better for power/ speed. To be honest, in my programming I write “High Hang Pull” variation or “Low Hang” Pull variation to prescribe the start position of the movement, then I explain which version of the pull I want my athletes to perform based on their current training focus.

The loading you choose will be specific to you. Mid-Thigh Pulls/ Power Shrugs don’t really work on an EZ bar. Try regular shrugs as an option for training the traps, and have some jumps in your programme for developing power.

@CoachFmt thanks

You’re welcome, I’m happy if it’s helped!

Knee over toe during the squat is okay provided it’s not excessive. For exercises, have you watched the way I warm up for my lower body movements? You can see all the detail in my video series “The Visible Abs Project” because I really go into detail there.

Ciao mate, great you’ve maintained strength while you’ve been away from the game! So...fitness: in the video I gave an example of 60s on and 60s off for the MAS runs for the players with really poor aerobic fitness. This meant that by week 3, they should be completing 1 full rep of the bronco, then waiting 60s before going again...5 reps like that (aka “broken broncos”) followed by a rest, and then another set. You can establish your MAS by running a bronco test, or even performing a 6 min cycle or 6 min row time trial etc and checking what distance you reach. Just be sure to test/choose the modality that you want to train. Once you have your 100% (your test score time), take the distance and divide it by the time in seconds. So a 5min bronco score would be: 1200 / 300 = 4m/s Now, you have to factor in the turns in a bronco, slowing down and speeding up. However, you can negate this by making your tempo runs shuttle based too - which is the example in the video. We started at 100% for 60s...then increased intensity...So the guys went from doing 200m shuttles in week 1, to 220m shuttles in week 2, to 240m shuttles (1 bronco rep) in week 3. It starts slowly, but ensures that you build-up nice and easy and get the improvements you want after only 4-6 weeks of steady training.

@CoachFmt thank you very much and this makes complete sense. It always seemed impossible that in 4-6 weeks of consistent training, it could yield good results. What I'm really impressed with also is that you don't need to be training for hours on end. You've summarised it and clearly maximised the science. Thanks again for responding.

@@Cla_et yes indeed !

@@CoachFmt i Play in biella rugby in U12, i'm the only girl in the team

On a power jerk you'll dip under the bar again after the initial drive with your legs 👍

@@DebbieKaore exactly right from falcon fitness, there’s a double dip on the power jerks.

Glad it was helpful!

@@sleezy69420 depends on what you’re looking for from the lift really. We tend to use this on Match Day - 2 after a push press or power jerk. No band resistance at the bottom coupled with it kicking in half way up can be a good option for strength-speed work. In this example there was a load of 60kg at the bottom and 88kg at the top, using VBT scores to guide the load.

Trap bar deadlifts are great, we use them all the time. But it will completely depend on your overall programme and your goals etc, because RDL is a hinge pattern whereas TB deadlift can be performed almost as a squat pattern.

I was thinking about making a fitness video on that topic. What do you think?

Completely depends on where you are in the season mate. For example, right now with our mid-5 and back-5 we are doing 5 flying sprints at 90%+ with almost full recovery and we are in the thick of the season. However, we’ll monitor how much other top-speed running exposures they get from the game/ rugby specific training and adjust from there.

You could choose 1-2 exercises and perform them twice a week initially. Then you could change those 1-2 exercises and perform them 2-3 times a week depending on your programme.

I’m happy if it’s helped 🙌

Great - enjoy it 💪 🏉
