Rugby strength training doesn't need to take over your life. Discover why training just twice a week is the optimal approach for amateur players to build muscle without burnout. 

Many amateur rugby players fall into the trap of copying six-day bodybuilding and powerlifting routines, leaving no energy for speed, conditioning, or actual rugby training. In this video, I'm breaking down why less is more, how to structure a minimal two-day lifting routine, and the essential movements you need for maximum on-pitch performance.
