Been told I need to develop power and explosiveness for rugby

Been told I need to develop power and explosiveness for rugby

How

What do Veeky Forums

Power cleans and HIIT

And squats n shit right?

do sprints over 20meters

P L Y O M E T R I C S

This book is the best guide for training explosiveness by far.

Think I'd be stabbed if I brought in the alluh snack bar book thanks

How to into this body

cleans and snatches, i used to play rugby, after a couple of months doing cleans and snatches, felt a huge difference in explosive power

olympic lifts
plyometrics
pushing/pulling heavy sleds
HIIT

Just play football. Rugby is a sport for pussies.

no need to for power when you don't even hit each other hard enough to warrant padding

>calling handegg football
Get a load of this retard

How many months we talking

And how many times a week did you clean and snatch?

...

>40lbs-backpack-sprints
He wants explosive strenght, not exploding knees.

Train you VO2max, which means intervals 2 times a week. Basically do a plan for 5k or 10k.

That's not explosive power is it desu, that's slow twitch

Lift heavy and run fast

heavy lifts
olympic lifts
sprints
oh and steroids of course

Lots of plyo

>ripped guy in t-shirt and shorts
>skinny-fat DYEL in body-armour and makeup

Can't make this shit up

>guy on the left looking like a fag in his pink uni
>man on the right actually looks normal

Hmmmmmmmmmm

your explosiveness is almost completely genetic

> Trimmed beard
> Make up

America is a cocksucking nation just recognize it.

Eurofags BTFO

I'm an American and even I have to say that football is the pussy version of rugby. We added a full face helmet and body armor.

>Footy player in pink still looks harder than handegg man in armour

Just sit there and feel the sensations of a full on sprint in your mind for a while.

Then actually sprint.

>mfw this somehow works

The guy in pink looks tougher than the faggot wearing steel armour to play a sport with an egg and niggers

Supertotal + sprints and sledwork
Supersquats program works quite well

>t. ex academy flanker

Without armour the niggas would wreck him

Then you're retarded. The pads let you hit harder, not just protect you. Same thing with boxing: the gloves aren't there solely for hand protection, they allow you to hit harder and with less exact form.
I toured through NZ playing rugby and the universal consensus was that Americans hit harder than anyone else they'd ever played (but had far worse ball handling skills).

hitting harder in rugby is how you get yourself more injured than the guy you are hitting
am also american and played rugby with a guy who used to play football and he dislocated his shoulder on the first tackle he made

underrated.
