The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Rugby: 2nd Edtion (Ultimate Guide to Weight Training: Rugby)

Doing you a massive favour here by telling you not to buy this book. Unfortunately I couldn't give this book a no star rating, because that's what it should be. I have been a rugby player for over 20 years and have played to a very high level including international. Fortunately I am also a highly qualified strength and conditioning coach. This book has nothing to do with preparing a rugby player for the game. This book is really of poor quality and value. It is obvious that these programs are very generalized and very little work has been put into them. I really do not understand why an author would try and write something on a topic they know little or nothing about. Do yourself a favour and keep your money in your pocket. Also whoever the person is that is claiming to be a rugby coach and gave this book a 5 star rating, should not be a coach and would be better off staying out of the game.

good comprehensive guide. evennif you're not into rugby it contains extensive number of fitness tips how to maintain proper physique.

The book claims that a bench press is a back exercise, when it’s clearly not.This is more bodybuilding focus, nothing athletic about it whatsoever.Some good info but very basic.

REALLY good book for rugby league weights training. Covers all the stuff you would expect and a bit more you probably didn't expect. Covers conditioning as well; good ground based training circuit included at the front as well. As a RL coach I HIGHLY recommend it.

Excellent product, prompt delivery

I was disapointed in the exercise selection and programs in the book. i taught there would be more power exercise featured with a formula for inserting them into programs as these are he mainstay of most pre season rugby programs

brilliant really helped me

This is a book about general strength training. This really has little to do with rugby at all. There is a small section between pages 21-27 about rugby and you are asked to become a member of the authors website in order to get more info about rugby training. Obviously at a price. The conditioning program has almost nothing to do with rugby and actually has many exercises that are not beneficial for rugby players at any level. I speak as a qualified Exercise Physiologist and Level 1 RFU rugby coach who still plays for Rosslyn Park Vets. I honestly am under the impression the author has never even been to a rugby match let alone played one.
