[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 918026, member: 34990"] I lift about 4 times a week, depending on how much sleep I get (I go before work, so get up at 5am, which doesn't happen if I can't sleep until 3 am or whatever) - sometimes I'll go 5 if I'm feeling it. Have some back and knee issues so listen to how my body reacts to training a lot more these days, rather than just powering through like I used to. Pretty generic kinda routine, days are built around the main lifts for low reps, and accessories with high reps. Squat day, Bench day, Deadlift day, Overhead press day. Gym just got an assault bike so that's making cardio sessions more......interesting. On the lifting front: It's crazy how weak pro rugby players used to be in the amateur/early pro era. Will Greenwood posts a lot about his workouts on instagram, and recently said he's hit a lifetime PR on overhead press with 60kg, deadlift 150kg and back squat (nowhere near real depth) at 110kg. I doubt you'd find many academy players lifting that light, these days. [/QUOTE]
