rugby training

fook me it was hard, i have bruises where i didnt know it was possible to get bruises, good fun though, we did 2 and a half hours and i was carrying a bit of a dodgy left wrist and a sore right arm

good stuff though, got nice and stuck in, more work on the ground which can only be good as getting taken to and taking the the ground is one thing that im not sure about at the moment (in western boxing and on the doors unless you do ufc the LAST place you want to be is on the floor, so effectively bringing it round to the doors i've spent the last 4 and a half years avoiding going on the ground

)

sore

rugby training in the drizzle, then the rainbow, then the beeming sun, then the hurricane

tonight showed how various weightlifting exercises can assist in looking hard down the rugby club [

]

the trainer was a bit thrown as loads of people turned up (the previous turn outs had been pretty bad) so it was a bit of fun to start off

everyone jump on a guys back and you have to throw each other off, jousting style, so i teamed up with the lad that started at about the same time as me, i went on his back first off, all good fun, we won [;)]
then we swopped and a few people were amazed that the 14 stone lad could get a 19 or 20 stone lad (could even be heavier) on his back and run round with him [

]

i am now nursing some hot chocolate like an old woman

breath in and hold it hahaha

by my reckoning there is still about 1-2 stone to lose (bear in mind i am breathing in hard here) im still carrying large amounts of fat on my lower back, love handles and belly

i'm not tensing my arms though before you think theyre tiny

davetherave · 14-08-2008, 11:16 PM

rugby training

went well, did a few different things, got nice and sweaty

did some jumps (im a lifter though as opposed to a jumper) and then some mauling as well

the trainer took me to one side at the end and explained why i wasnt in the 30 man squad for saturday, he explained that he thinks i just need a bit more rugby knowledge but i train hard and deserve to go to the party, none of this was news to me, i explained i agreed with him and probably would have asked to be taken out of the team if i had been in (so as to not fook it up for anyone)

so my efforts are being noticed ;)

davetherave · 15-08-2008, 11:15 PM

Dave...Why only partial range of motion on the chins...?

davetherave · 16-08-2008, 10:58 AM

alright pal

i was finiding that i was getting shooting pains in my delt when i was going full ROM with an overhand grip, so i tried it with an underhand and got the same

if i do partials i can still do them, a bit like will smith does in i am legend (i think, ive not seen it)
gone are the days of doing chins with 25kg round my waist :(
