What type of cardio should I do to increase fitness? should i do HIIT or something else to optimise endurance and minimise weight loss

Jokes on you; I just want the BRRRAAPPPPPP. Did you see how I orchestrated that? It was so perfect. I just BRRRAAPPPPPPed the same BRRRAAPPPPPP everyone here BRRRAAPPPPPPs, but I put it out there so gently you couldn't resist.

It's like asking a slut what her BRRRAAPPPPPP is. It's a horrible BRRRAAPPPPPP, of course, but she can't help but to BRRRAAPPPPPP her eyes and BRRRAAPPPPPP anyway. And that's all you need. Once she BRRRAAPPPPPPs you both know she will be yours. The door is open.
And in that same way, you are now mine. I have you and your BRRRAAPPPPPP and there is no way for you to change that. You have been BRRRAAPPPPPPed, used, and soon will be discarded.

But you knew this would be the case when you responded. It's the silly game we play here. We pretend we're actually conversing but it's all really just a ridiculous BRRRAAPPPPPP. One partner BRRRAAPPPPPPs, the other follows, and neither has truly gained nor lost anything.

We carry on, and we know we'll do it again and again. Probably not with the same BRRRAAPPPPPPs, but that's ok. It's the thrill of the BRRRAAPPPPPP that keeps us coming back. The thrill of BRRRAAPPPPPPing and, if we're being honest, the thrill of the vulnerability of being BRRRAAPPPPPPed.

Thanks for BRRRAAPPPPPPing with me, user.

That man is a giant

Doesn't Rugby have specific conditioning routines that you do as a team?

Football does, you can just google football conditioning drills and do those. They require cones at most really just markers, you could use rocks.

The best thing you can do for base endurance is just run. Go for a couple of distance runs a week in addition to training/matches, and keep up lifting obviously

thank fuck you made this thread

I'm doing stronglifts, I have rugby (preseason) training on tuesday and thursdays and when the season starts, matches on saturday.

Currently stronglifting on monday/wed/fri so that means legs are sore as fuck from squatting on training days. Should I shift the routine so training is after lifting so I've still got glycogic acid or whatever it is running in my muscles?

Also, is there some three-days-a-week PPL routine so I can shove all leg work onto saturday as far away as possible from all preseason trainings considering the stress on upper body from training is relatively low?

One last question, I should be doing 5 reps for strength but then accessories of ~15 reps for muscular endurance during matches, right? I don't really feel tired at the end of lifting sessions.

>Tfw lost all conditioning and endurance after I started bulking and lifting properly
same boat as you, finding it really difficult to get cardio in, hopefully training should get shit together

yeah i fucken reckon hey

OP here
My training consists of powerlifting and just seeking to become strong but also flexible, fast and just all round fit. My endurance has just been lagging so keep lifting heavy, get bigger, stronger and just try to become a better athlete all round

I'm simply trying to improve my fitness level, not working on fancy footwork or anything just want to be able to run for longer. Also Football players have fuck all endurance so taking a leaf outta their book would be retarded

Do some conjugate method shit, and cardio and hiit twice a day and some long run once

every day? for real?

you don't think this is overtraining?

>he fell for the overtraining meme
>rich piano said it was fake therefore you're wrong

>Overtraining
What are you Australian
NO

yeah im australian

can crossfit teach me how to fly like this

yell and keep yourself in the air via anger alone

Start on one dead ball line, run the length of the pitch doing an up-down at every line. Very important to be able to get up off the floor and sprint off especially if you're a forward.

>playing forward

yeah let me just sign up to a car crash's worth of injuries every match also i'm a fat prop and can run 10 meters :(

"Australian"
I bet you vote greens

That is not healthy, and will slow your progress. You need to give your body more time to recover, heal properly, so you can push it harder and accomplish more next time. Same principle as a deload week.

Military fag here. Not special forces but I know how special forces trains, and the free running classes we are encouraged to take explain all this.

>"But I do it and it works just fine"
>"Muh superior viking ethos! Nebber gib up :^)"

I believe, you believe it works just fine. You'd get better results doing it right.

i voted for andrew wilkie

>Overtraning
Implying annon is a high enough level to overtrain

Indoor rowing. It's low impact on your joints, set the drag factor to 110 and incorporate low intensity steady state workouts into your training.

do you mean the cable row machine?

nigga...

How about doing sprints on the days that you lift? Rugby is more sprinting than endurance if I am correct?

Monday: 100m sprints, walk back to start for recovery. Increase reps as you develop your endurance.

Wednesday: Maybe hill sprints?

Friday: Some light longer duration cyckling

That is assuming you lift on M/W/F so it leaves more time for recovery. Obviously make the workouts harder when you progress (Make 100s 200s or decrease rest time). Just keep it easy enough so you can recover from your lifting.

Care to give some examples of how the sf train? Also which country are you from?

>high enough level to overtrain
you don't have to be at a high level to over train, I was over training in my first year, if only I knew the symptoms earlier, could have saved myself months
