5 Reasons Why Strength Training Program Santa Cruz CA Fails In Season Rugby

By Roger Cooper


One of the most complicated areas of rugby physical preparation for the average player is how to strength train in season. There are five common problems that I see most often with in season strength training program Santa Cruz CA for rugby. All five can hold you back as a rugby player but luckily for us, they are easily avoidable.

If anything, it is an excessive amount of adipose tissue or fat on a woman that masks her real curves and feminine qualities. Strength training and muscle building can be the solution to re-shaping the figure and burning off that unwanted excess fat. It is out of doubt that excess fat is not what women would like more of if they are trying to look sexier and more attractive.

Rubbish Programming and/or Exercise Selections. While in season might be a time to lower the volume and intensity of your energy training when compared to a phase focused on developing maximal energy, it is certainly not a time to take the easy option. Often the 'easier' or 'safer' exercises people switch to (think leg extensions or leg press vs squats) are far more injurious then the 'difficult' counterpart.

It is accurate to say that some women could possibly gain weight on an energy drilling practice for women exercise system, because muscle mass weighs more than body fat, but the chances of them actually reducing weight are higher. This is mainly because larger and stronger muscles demand more energy in the form of calories and ultimately building muscle can help to manage fat reduction and assists the body to burn excess fat.

Too Light Weights. At the other end of the spectrum are players who automatically lighten the loads which they lift in season. While you certainly won't be setting PBs every week, it is important to go relatively heavy throughout the season. This will obviously depend on each player's physical state and recovery from practice and matches each week. You might still work up to a 3-5RM but leave a rep or few kilos in the tank depending on how you feel during that particular session.

Not only is strength drilling great for your muscles but it can also do a lot of good for your cardio. Typically you will move in cycles, for example pushups then pull ups then some sit ups followed by some positions you need to hold. This will tire you out and force your heart rate up which is all great for a cardio workout.

The other issue arises in regards to exercise selection. While I believe some players should be squatting (or variations) 48 weeks of the year, there comes a time when you have to adjust your strength training due to the demands of your sport. For example, loading a props spine up in the gym every week with a heavy squat variation may not be the best idea while he is also packing in 50+ scrums per week. That will cause a lot of spinal loading and fatigue throughout the season.

Anaerobic fitness along with aerobic work are important elements of successful workout programs. Anaerobic conditioning involves weight or strength training. For all its popularity though, aerobic exercise has it limits. During a workout class, fat loss does take place but as soon as the session is over, the rate at which calories are burnt, and the metabolic rate too, decrease quickly.
