The Rugby Muscle Podcast Q&A | The Perfect Day's Training | Sleeping After Training | Squat Progress | Mobility/Recovery Workouts
First off; thank you for making this page and podcast an absolute must-have of information for beginners to the extreme athletes of the world. You would be part of my kit bag!
- My question is about prioritizing training with a tight schedule, I get just waking up earlier or staying up a bit later gives you time, however; I have 2 littles and a wife that want attention when I'm home from my 12hr day that starts at 6 am which is generally a 45 minute drive 1 way. I can usually make time for 2 full-body strength training sessions in the evenings for 2 hours to get all the nooks and crannies worked and that's generally it. I'm lucky if I get a sprint or skills days in. I'm not playing right now due to COVID which will probably make it even harder when the time comes to get back on the field. So, question. What should I prioritize in my training to get the best ROI? I have a home gym with barbells, kettlebells and rings if that adds to anything. If you only had 1 (2 a day) training day in the week to make you an all-round better athlete (speed, strength, power, endurance etc.), how would you program the day? From wake up, meals, and training.
- Hi I’ve been playing since I was a young kid and taken my training seriously but lately I’ve hit a real bump with my squatting I don’t feel like I’m making any progress any tips to improve it
- What's your opinion on mobility workouts and recovery workouts? What's their purpose?
- Here's one for you, my training finishes at around 1030 at night...getting home eating and dinner around 11ish....last night would be a great example...I couldn't get my heart rate/relax down enough to sleep....was still like ok high energy etc....Is it the food i'm eating? What should I be eating at that time...how can I taper off and get to sleep at around 1230 ideally…
