"My balls suck"?
That's a very frank, and unnecessary, confession.
Maybe you should see a Doctor, a specialist in fertility, perhaps

Real strength is mesured in what you have the capacity to do to your opponents using technique and skill and ability to adapt to the forces that counter your movement.. not how much iron you can lift in a certain direction in a set movement .

lollolololol u measure strength by arm wrestling by arm wreastling

strength can best be measured by the 5 core lifts
deadlifts
squats (most important lift for rugby)
bench press
power cleans
press

i have personaly watched 18 stone will collier england U18 tight head beaten in an arm wreastle by 12 st cricket player
arm wrestling is a mixture of wrist and forearm strength combined with technique

as for the hand of thing what ya want a cookie ??
he was probably just being retarded and trying to tackle you standing straight up.
 
C'mon now, you know whatr point he was trying to make.

Everyone knows guys who are beasts in the gym, but for a variety of reasons don't bring this strength and power to the pitch.

thats what i meant by match strength and gym strength.
 
Strength on the pitch can also be determined by mental determination. You could be quite big, but if you **** yourself when someone bigger runs at you then you're not stopping him, no matter how many reps you've done.
A winger in my team is one of the smallest guys I have ever seen, seriously must be about 8-9 stone, yet he brings down the heaviest guy in the squad one on one 10 times out of 10. It's an amazing thing to see really. :p

You basically pointed out my statement there...I never said I was physically big or strong I actually stated to the contrary ...good technique is the most important factor in every aspect of rugby ...I have seen bodybuilders step onto a rugby field and get crushed on their first time running with a ball by a a much smaller player who probably could not bench half what the big guy could...

And yes I would love a cookie....NOM NOM NOM

*but no he came in at waist height and i caught him on the base of the neck that joins with shoulder*


so really EOT instead of backing up my points unknowingly again just stay quiet there and have a little think about things .
 
Especially when they're just out of the oven. I'm well known in Marks on Grafton Street for hiding behind the shelves, waiting for the baker to put out a fresh batch and leaping from my hiding place as soon as he or she (if the baker's a lady) does. NOM NOM NOM

o dear number 7 you have misunderstood my point i was not saying that the ability to truck over people was directly corrolated to strength i agree good technique is certainly the most important thing in rugby ( i never said otherwise) i never said that james haskell was better at trucking over people than nick easter but simply that he was stronger.
you however to not seem to understand
that great size does not neccesarily mean great strength body builders tend to do high repetition exercises that cause sarcopasmic hypotrophy whereas rugby players and indeed many other athelets (such as olympic powerlifter) who tend to have less muscle and a higher bf% are as strong if not stronger since they do lower repition exercises that encourage monofibuler hypotrophy. my coment on the arm wreastling was to support my earlier point that any one who measures strength by arm wreastling is simply wrong as it is people with short forearms that tend to be the best at arm wreastling.
so you are sadly very wrong about me backing up your points indeed it is your ignorence of strength training as a whole that caused you to believe so in the first place.

as for your great ability to hand people off well i wished i was so blessed with your potentially superhuman ability to hand off since i was not present when you did the said hand off a cannot make any futher comment on that.

so as we can plainly see it is you who could do with a time out to thik things over

(god i do love these rugby forum debates)

if it is a mental problem than it is not the persons physical strength that is letting themdown but rather there mental strength. international rugby player tend to have the mental strength to use every single shread of there pysicall strength when they go into contact.
as for your winger my club is blessed with a scrum half that sounds very simmilar to that description.

As My first point said mesure a rugby players strength in what you can to with it on the rugby field not in a gym...

You seem to be basing every aspect of strenght upon weights and that one can only be strong is he can push lumps of metal in a fixed direction in a certain excersise..

Can I ask where you got tht ego from? For a guy who has not a single capital letter and hardly a piece of punctuatuon in your post you sure talk alot of shite.
