As far as rugby background goes, this is my first year, but I am crazy about the sport already. I'm in my senior year in high school, and intend to play throughout the next four years of college.

Lower - Sunday

Morning - Explosive lifting and extra hamstring work
Cleans
One-arm Snatches

Unilateral work, lunges, bulgarians, etc

Upper - Tuesday

Horizontal/Vertical Pressing movement for 3-5 rep max
Heavy rows or variation
Weighted Dips

- I'll also perform GHRs after rugby practices (twice a week).
