Bronco is 20m 40m 60m and back for each. 5 times. Yoyo test is a southern fitness test and is great. Bronco is the standard. A general consensus is forwards between 5-5:30 backs under 5.
Great vid, but having a hard time finding those book recommendations from Eoin. What were those two authors names spelled out? The CC is awful at capturing it.
If Rugby player trains for Amerk Football he will lose cardio/stamina while gaining speed/strength. If Amerk Footballer trains for rugby, he will lose speed/strength, but pick up cardio/stamina. And I dont mean while being performed individually at a time. But packaged together, all things done simultaneously. If either trains for Basketball, they will just lose all three.
65% of 1-rm for lots of sets of 4-6 reps is the best. You can bang out like 4-8 sets pretty easily most of the time. Its just stimulating enough physically, but also not hard mentally. I may not want to be at the gym, but I'm also not going to skip sets at 65%. What am I going to do, quit on 65%? If 60-65% is too much, something else is usually going on. I will say north of 18-20 sets/week @ 65% I have run into slight joint soreness that made me pull back some, but since you are doing so many sets, its easy to feel it coming on and to pull back. Its also easy to transition into other rep ranges from there depending on what you are doing.
My argument about the difficulties of american football players transitioning rugby and vice versa has always been that rugby has more endurance to it and american football is all about explosively and rest.
Rugby requires cardio/stamina, speed, and strength. American only need speed and strength for most positions. QB dont need any really. Lineman dont really need speed.
The main issue is skill. AF athletes won’t be able to pass or have the IQ to position themselves effectively in the fast and chaotic environment of rugby union.
Well shit, I thought this was going to be "what Sika Strength coaches get wrong about rugby and football" and it was actually three coaches chatting for over an hour :D as a Sika Strength viewer I was going to watch it anyway to see where people's opinions differ and what could be learned from it, but this is fine by me as well.
I find it a bit disappointing to hear how much focus these guys have on "being a bit of a freak." I realize it's part of the game and that SA is the defending champs but there should be so much more to the game, including technique; especially when it comes to speed. Tadgh Beirne other than being very tall, seems to be far from a freak for me. His difference is in his technique and timing.

Is it done just like suicides? No rest between any of the reps? Or is there a break in between, like with American football 110s?
@@zackhurwitz9441so it’s 20m and back then 40m and back then 60m and back repeated 5 times with no rest in between so it works out at 1.2km

Great collaboration/ interview, but it was annoying how much you would interrupt them in the middle of their answers.
I apologize for that, I had a lag on my end of their audio and visual. I was trying my best to time it at the right time but clearly failed.

Ye don't focus on skills in the gym though, that's done on the pitch.
