Rugby Training Program

If you are looking for a rugby training guide, don’t worry, you have come to the right place. Here, in this guide, we will focus on how one should train in a gym to improve his rugby performance on the field. Most of the players are training like bodybuilders, but that’s not good, because you may get injured or hurt, and it can be damaging and disadvantageous to your performance.


Being strong is important. Being healthy means strength, and it reduces the risk of injury. Training for strength will boost your muscle size, which is not exactly the primary goal.

Therefore, this program features year-round specific weight training tips that guarantee for player’s performance improvement.
