Give it a go and let us know how it goes for you and if you have any further questions based on the feedback you develop for yourself!
It was good, but feels like a normal bodybuilding session and maybe not as optimal for athletes😊🫡

Hey buddy! I would likely avoid static bodybuilding movements for the most part and focus on dynamic movements as this will make you a lot more agile and stronger in vulnerable positions on the pitch. Obviously your going to want to prioritise leg power and core exercises also. Cardio will need to be on point too..
How would you set up the wourkouts😊

Have you watched the upper lower video in the education section?
Watch that and the part 2 with the questions then come back and put your own programme together. That way myself and the other guys can appraise it and suggest some adjustments.
This is a much better way of doing things rather than asking for a programme to be given to you. You’ll learn much better trying things for yourself then asking for input from the guys on here.
Plus we don’t know what kit you have available to you so any programme put together by us may not even be possible to do at your gym.
Have a think about your training, watch the videos, put something together and then I suggest putting it in a new thread for myself and the other guys to have a look at and make suggestions if needed.
Made a new thread with suggestion😊is it possible for you to take a look at it

Do you guys recommend top set//back off or straight sets for athletes?
-
All looks fine
Perfect will crack on

Don’t forget what I said in the other thread about the neck work please Thomas.
Add 4 way banded neck isometric holds to each session please. 3 sets of 15-30secs in each position.
Yes will do that 100%! Thank you so much for helping me

Mange Rugby players have crazy physiques and very big and good looking upper bodys

How does it look in terms of building muscle and getting my upper body physique developed and aswell performe😊

Upper lower split would be a good way to go. Remember to keep training your neck strength. Banded isometric holds are essential in any rugby programme whatever the position.
I will say this: please please please keep in your on field running and some skill work during this period. Zero point “packing on as much muscle as possible” if you’re unable to run about a rugby field.
I assume you’re from the southern hemisphere? If so some touch footy weekly would be a good thing to do. Keeps skills sharp and involves some multidirectional running to keep joints and connective tissues used to the demands of the sport. Failing this some tempo runs on field once or twice a week will be good for conditioning and keep you ready for the return to rugby.
Yes southern hemisphere🫡Thank you so much for answering.

Yes Will do, We have got skill work, tempo Runs and off feet condition work from our coach. Is there possible for you to set up a Upper/Lower split for me? So I Can see how its done

We would need more detail here Thomas .
How many times do you play rugby per week ? Do you train and play a match day ?
How much of a priority is it ?
How much of a priority is training?
Training is now up to me so I want to build my Upper body and prioritize that for a longer period now because that is What needs to work on.

Yep Oscar is correct – more info needed.
Also I’d like to know current stats, what position you play and at what standard your club is playing at.
Hi, Thank you so much everyone for answering. I got a new phone so I needed to make a new account. Off season has started and the next match wont be until 6 months. So I really want to pack on as much muscle as possible. I play at amateur level, but doing good so moving up the ranks. I have a decent physique but could really benefit adding on muscle specially in my Upper body
