  • In this video is a full start to finish upper body gym program for Rugby union, Rugby League, AFL and other collision/ impact sports. This program and video will educate you on the best exercises to build strength, improve performance and reduce your risk of injury. This program is well rounded and perfect for preseason and in season for an upper body session early in your training week.
    IT hits all the important muscle groups in all practical planes of motion The program starts off with:
    1. Horizontal Push exercise: Bench
    2. Vertical Pull Exercises: Weighted Chins
    3. Vertical Push/ Horizontal Pull Superset
    4. Middle and Post Delt SuperSet
    5. Arms: Barbell Curl, S/S military Push Up
    6. Arm Finisher: Barbell Curl, Tricep Pushdown.
    After Each Exercise I will be explaining the reasoning behind each exercise!What was your favorite exercise from my list vs what is your favorite exercise from your own repertoire? The challenge is doing enough but not over training!Your sets and reps will depend based on which part of ther season you are in! I explain this in the video but also in my sets and reps video!

    Great looking session! Greetings from Wigan. How many reps in season would you do for the super sets? Looking for a new upper body routine. Thanks.

    • @AxeRugby
      @AxeRugby  Pƙed 3 lety +3

      Depends Edward as always! if you are doing a strength block reps will be 6-8ish reps depending and if its hypertrophy it will be 10-15 ish. but depending on who you talk to will differ

    Great session mate just wondering on the bench press would you recommend always doing a barbell press as I find I get more range of motion with just a flat dumbbell bench cheers

    • @AxeRugby
      @AxeRugby  Pƙed 2 lety +1

      I think its personal choice, DB's are fantastic. I tend to do flat bar for bench and dumbells for incline but you can change up every 4-6 weeks.

    • @AxeRugby
      @AxeRugby  Pƙed 2 lety

      If you are doing like a "pump" session. probably 90s-120s, if you want more maximal strength 180-300seconds. ive always found 5 minutes too much for me i do between 120-180 for strength.

      Lat pull down is a good option. Or you can pick a 2nd horizontal pull if you need.

    Hey dude I love this program. I really think it will improve a lot my performance at rugby.
    Just a question, how many times a week do we have to do this? How can you balance this training with leg day training, explosive day training, mobility training and also rugby training with your club?
    I feel a little overwhelmed thinking about having to train all this things while also training with my club, and I was wondering how do you recommend me to balance all of the trainings.
    Thanks for the great content, and greetings from Spain!

    • @AxeRugby

      in preaseason you can gym 4 days a week and cardio of some description 4 days a week, (3 run 1 bike) etc.
      I have programs available that simplify it all and give you a weekly schedule etc

    Hey If I just want power and strength how many reps in the supersets? and if I use this upper body workout would I need to train other upper body parts or does this workout covers every thing? (appart core). So could I do both your upper/lower body workouts plus my club training in which we do the cardio and conditioning?

    • @AxeRugby
      @AxeRugby  Pƙed 2 lety

      hi mate, that would work well. sets might be more like 4x 3-8 reps. week 1 8reps, week 2 6reps week 3 5reps , week 4 4reps per set etc

    hey mate, for what biotype do you recommend this training routine? I'm 176cm and 53kg and I'm looking for workouts to increase my muscle mass, would you recommend this workout for that?

      No issues there mate! Try it out!

    • @hoanidecleene6513
      @hoanidecleene6513 Pƙed 2 lety +2

      You probably won’t gain much muscle mass till you hit puberty but you can get your strength up, explosive power, speed, fitness and foot work that’s important but and one thing with gaining muscle weight you will become slower if you don’t do explosive work or sprint sessions and get tired more easily if you don’t do cardio because when I was 15 i was 80kgs and I wanted to get more muscles mass I got up to 90kgs at 16 but I was just doing weight training bro I was slow, unfit and I was like wtf search up videos it was because I was training like a bodybuilder instead of a athlete then I learned about explosive power I’m 18 now 100kgs and can sprint a 100m 12.15 but yeah just advice what I learned

    • @AxeRugby

  • @ttamang2001

    How much reps should I do if I want to gain muscle, but I also want to loose fat should I still use this routine?

    • @AxeRugby
      @AxeRugby  Pƙed 2 lety

      you will do both mate, you wont do one without the other! muscle can be 3-4sets x 6-12 reps... more reps generally means more hypertrophy and more muscle. but eating well is key.

  • @stephenward2743
    @stephenward2743 Pƙed 2 lety +4

    1:25 Dog that chest bounce is gonna cause issues at heavy weight, you don't appear to be in control of the barbell for the lower third of the movement. Learning to use a pause, taking a short term hit to your strength max and then being full in control of the barbell is the best approach imo. I do not buy the argument that the extra 5% weight you can push with a touch and go is resulting in any meaninful improvements to overall strength. Strength work on the bench is not the place for any kind of resilliance training you may think you are getting while crushing your rib cage.
    Also yes, I fully concede that this comment screams ''random internet expert''

    • @AxeRugby
      @AxeRugby  Pƙed 2 lety

      Thanks for sharing mate. I understand your point of view. If you want to program pause bench you can. Personally I dont like them for rugby. But in powerlifting the pause is very important.

    • @bokrugby4849
      @bokrugby4849 Pƙed 2 lety +1

      Can be mate but really depends on the position you play. If your a front rower you probably should prioritise strength and size for scrums, but for all rugby players explosiveness is very important, and power building programs don’t usually factor in explosive training.

    How about off season reps

    • @AxeRugby
      @AxeRugby  Pƙed 3 lety

      Hi Rukshani, it depends on your goals really. But many people would tend to want to put on muscle size in the off season and therefore would use 3-4sets of 8-12 reps for their main lifts e.g. bench press, shoulder press etc.
      week one: 4x12reps
      week two: 4x12reps
      week three: 4x10
      week four: 4x8
      week Five: 5 rep max test (not mandatory)
      REPEAT!
