* i didnt do the close grip bench today as i could feel a bit of movement at the part where the neck goes into the delt on the third set of dips, so i thought i would play it safe,
* i thought about doign some skulls but then remembered that i cant get the catchers right
* im going to drop both the bench presses down and come back stronger

rugby training

unbenown to me it was actual training and not the touch rugby i was expecting []

at a bit of a dis-advantage due to having no boots, heres what we did

i turned up half an hour late so not sure what they did till half 7, stretching i think as i jogged up, we did

*some sprint, hit training type thing, in pairs, one lies on their back holding a ball, the other tries to nick it, then they run to the first line and back, repeat until the 5th line which is the full length of the pitch, then swop over

* some passing work

* some ruck work, in teams of 4/5 you have three groups holding pads
4 in the two outside team, three in the inside one, so you start off as your five (we had five) running into each of the five trying to get the ball, closed my eyes on the first go then i found my bollocks []
bit nerve racking though as i did not have a gumshield, you did each group twice (so six time in all) taking them mainly on my nose [] then swopped over
nothing quite prepares you for the first teams prop forward, all (i'll guess) 22 stone of him launching at you, and my shoulder is bruised to fcuk, didnt have any foot grip due to having no studs, i also need to learn to keep my chin down as i took a lot on my chin (not good with a former broken mandible and no gum shield)
and to be fair i dont think i would have done anyway []

* some work where you split into two teams, two lie down and then one jumps over them (two footed) and then lies down, you do this going up a hill, we did this 4 times each (after the first time you run back down and do it again) i sucessfully managed to jump on the same lads knees three times [&:]
its a bit of fun watching big fat 20 odd stone lads juumping near to your manhood whilst wearing boots and blades []

* then did 30 minutes of tag rugby, cracking try scored by me []

enjoyed it and it was a good buzz [;)]

Noobus

Nice one Glad your enjoying it . Which team do you train with and is it union or league ?

davetherave

bolton rugby union club mate, about 5 miles away from my gaff

i had a bit of a dilemma prior to starting doing the whole union v league thing, eventually deciding on bolton union club as there is a 4th team

sore today but i will see how i get on with tonights back, trap and bi session and then tomorrow nights rugby sesh again

davetherave

back, traps and biceps

i felt proper rough before this session, couldnt explain it but just had no energy, as soon as i got in the gym i started sweating like a mad man, and i mean sweating, it was also DOM city after last night

deads
92kg 1x6
108kg 1x6
130kg 1x6
134kg 1x6

close grip pulls
3x8

bent over bb rows
i didnt do these as i was feeling that bad

bb shrugs
104kg 1x8
124kg 1x8
128kg 1x8
134kg 1x8

i then decided to shave my head and have now realised that it is as spotty as it has ever been, not good when you have no hair at all (had to use the clippers as the razor spreads them) i am now right royally ****ed off and may cry

hahaha so your not a fan of men in touch with their feminine side i take it?

davetherave

hahaha im right today, still got some bad guts thing that makes me have absoloutley no energy at about 3pm, i teh nstruggle to get any sort of energy after that, i think it is connected to my head and bad guts
or maybe i am just trying to do too much all at once

i am at rugby again tonight i will see what levels of energy i have, and if i do not have any about 10 minutes before i go out i may do some n.o-explode to help (this should be at about 18:30 so possibly too late if i want to sleep tonight)

rugby training tonight

more ball work, it was a very poor turnout tonight so it was all training together but because there was less there if you didnt really know what you were doing you stood out like a sore thumb, so there were a few of the first team lads getting pi55ed off and storming off being a bit bitchy

but we all have to start somewhere i suppose

we finished off with touch rugby again and i have a lot more respect for the lads who teach you as the game is going on, competitiveness is not a problem but if you have not seen someone before chances are they are not a first teamer ;)

me and the other bigger lad (who is also new) were talking to one of the trainers again after and he reckons we're looking at front wingers or another position (i forget the name of)

the other lad looks about 22 stone and carrying a fair amount of bf but looks STRONG, big galves on him, so the trainer was explaining he will be no good at sprinting but he will be handy in other positions, he said more or less the same to me but he noticed that i can sprint
he commented on our shoulders, arms and chest

didn't enjoy it as much tonight but i shall be back

the trainer said that he would get the scrum machine out on saturday but i dont know if i can get down (i could do with getting some boots as things like sprinting are a problem and i think this is part of the reason why my quads are crippling me)

You read me like a book

hahaha i was nowhere near crying just had loads of 5hit going on all at once, stuff at work, feel rough all the time and struggling to fit my training round my rugby training

all sorted now, im back to my cheery self

stow

Get a gum shield before you do anymore impact work.
You will only knock those front teeth out once.
S

davetherave

yeah good point mate, i took it on thursday (got a single one that i used for boxing) but we didnt need it for what we were doing

the good thing about trainign in gum shields is that it teaches you how to cope when you are knackered and wearing one, eg in a game

this is what we did at boxing, when on he bags you wear it so when youre knackered you're still biting down on it

planning on getting some boots today

davetherave

we have boots

only got one pair at the moment, i need to get some cheap mouldies as well

i got these, didnt want to spend loads of money
