Upper Body Strength and Size for Rugby Players
Ticking off the essentials (Vertical/Horizontal Push/Pull)
and a cheeky extra
Sets/reps recommended:
For the first 4 compounds:
2-4 sets of 3-7 reps
That perfect blend of heavy loads for strength, but enough volume/tension for size.
For the neck supported rear delt flys, treat these as accessories. So 2-3 sets of 6-20 is my go to.
This isn’t a top 5, or an exhaustive list...there’s another 10-20 variations I include frequently in my athletes programmes.
But these are definitely 5 of my favourite!
Let me know what some of your favourites are.
