Zachary Bart I’ve always believed that wrestling/grappling is the best experience to simulate the contact portion of rugby. Does anyone have any drills they would recommend or have used that incorporates wrestling & grappling into rucking/tackling. Even just overall body movement?Jeena Ann JacobHow can I build my strength to be that untackleable person on the field and is there a way to improve speed at home if currently I do not have access to a field/ gym to train.Adam NealWould full body session be better than the classic legs ,arms for gaining muscle mass. I’m 105 kg 6,3Patrick NotaroHey Tom I just started playing in college and one of our coaches gold me that the Olympic bar deadlifts are more harm then good and to take them out of our preseason lifting programs. I was just wondering what u thought/if this is trueMr JohnstonThanks for answering my questions. Given that I'm relatively well rounding i've taking your advice and have decided that acceleration and change of direction is going to be my main work on in order to get really good at it. So going back to my original question - putting aside the pitch work (which i agree is where speed is built) - would concentrating on balancing out my squat/deadlift discrepancy actually help with my acceleration and change of direction to any significant degree or should I focus on other things?More on Rugby Muscle Facebook GroupInstagramYouTubeWebsite with ArticlesSupport the show
