Hey guys, new to the forum, but I'll get straight to the point.
-I'm 94kg, 185cm and roughly 12%BF
-I'd say 35-40% of my potential (i'm under average fitness compared to the rest of the team, but on the field i can match it with anyone - which surprised me as im new to the professional club)
-I've lost 4kg over the past 2 weeks (havnt been training - end of season)I've been eating decently, so I dont know what happened.
-Lots of muscle in legs and i'm big boned (not fat)
I'm looking for a big rugby season next year and I have 6 months to train for it, I'm looking to get to roughly 5-6%bf, but i'm more concerned with achieving a level of fitness for representative level.
I want everything, but if i had to choose 2 things to stand out, they'd be explosive strength, explosive start (sprint) and max speed.
I've modified my eating habits to 5 meals over the past 2 weeks, and begun doing a 3 day cycle chest-back-legs (6 days a week)and 4 days cardio (2 days, 1 day break, then 2 days again, then weekend off)
Weight sessions are:
- core body 8,6,6,4
- other 12x3
Cardio is 30 minutes of running at a fast, constant pace, so that im struggling with the last 10 minutes.
Basically, I want to get your thoughts on the matter, any modifications that I can make, should i be doing pool sessions, beach sessions, sand running, stairs, I don't really know.
I've got 5 months to reach my goals, and i'm not going to do the binge eating on the christmas period, so we don't need to take that into account. I'm a light to non drinker as well.
Any other information, just ask.
