Rugby General

What is a better body type for rugby?
Lean or built?
I'm 220 right now and I am joining my uni's rugby team, would it be better for me to focus on getting down to 200? Or should I just start focusing on strength gain? Never played rugby, but I've heard how great of a sport it is, so I'm joining the team.

Is it possible to lose weight while gaining good muscle or should I just cut like crazy then bulk? I only have 3 months

Also rugby general, share stories and experiences, I'm pretty fuckin hyped

>Is it possible to lose weight while gaining good muscle
You can gain muscle but it wont be a large amount, unless you're roiding
>should I just cut like crazy then bulk
No, you're gonna be running around a lot and pushing big guys
you need at least your TDEE+1000k to maintain your weight

Rugby is for fags. Play a real sport like football.

Professional Rugby has some of the most masculine and most aesthetic males on the planet.

I played rugby for county when I was younger and for the university I went to.

Coaches seem to care more about size, in my opinion stay big to get in then cut down as you want.

Damn

>never watched a rugby match

Part of the reason I want to play, I want that rugby bod

Flanker reporting in. Focus on your skillset over strength and do plyometrics.

You want to be a fast as possible while also being as big as possible. Eat a ton, run a lot, bench/squat and gain strength. Highly recommend doing the cart push with plates exercise, or like tire flips.
