Re: 4 days weight training

Lost Soul - where are you getting you information from? Surely half of the stuff you are evangelising will be done at his rugby practice/training sessions.

Nathan - The lads I know who play rugby at an amateur level train thus:

A 2 or 3 day strength training split (abbreviated training)
Training drills at weekly training
A long weekly run

They all train slightly differently, but all keep reps low (not really venturing over 5 reps unless warming up) and all train Squats/Deads/Bench, some add in some 'explosive' exercises like Power Cleans, Jumping Squats etc but they all said they training in the gym to get stronger.

What ever the coach had them work on in training that was a different matter and varied based on strengths/weaknesses and position.

See what your coach says, see how you recover. You may find that a 2 day abbreviated split/FBR is all thats needed - along with practice/running/a game
