This weekend I had great pleasure in having John Brooks stay with us.
Apart from eating us out of house and home we had a great weekend.
What a guy.
I suppose one lesson I have learnt off Brooksie is constancy of purpose ( a bit of a motto of mine)
However, that didn’t stop us cranking out a rugby fitness session at my training studio Sunday evening.
Our rugby fitness workout was 10 sets of 50 yrd famers walks with thickened grips then a cheeky superset of Squats (with Chains) for sets of 3-5 and a Push Press with a fat bar for sets of 8.
Yes getting stronger is crucial but being able to replicate this is equally as important.
Needless to say - my traps and upper back are in a hoop and my legs feel like they have been removed from the rest of my body.
He showed me a terrific exercise for scrummaging strength with a pulley. I will definitely add this to the rugby fitness side of the site soon.
I am off for a massage!
