Rugby trainings have changed and my schedule has changed a bit, so my former 3-day split isn't going to cut it anymore.
Current schedule:
Monday - open for gym
Tuesday - open for gym
Wednesday - rugby practice
Thursday - open for gym
Friday - rugby practice
Saturday - a run is possible, no gym.
Sunday - rugby game
Since rugby is very shoulder focused and just overall strength I want to do something in the area of compound exercises, just having a hard time trying to fit these into my current schedule.
Anyone have some suggestions / experience with these kind of splits?
Cheers!
What are your lifts, what is your position and how much fat do you have?
I would gym on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
Something like.
Monday. squat, bench, deadlift (all 3x5)
Tuesday. Press, row, (3x8) core (planks and stuff) chin ups.
Thursday. Squat, bench, deadlift (3x5)
On all the 3x5 stuff just add 5 pounds each workout until you can't
On the 3 x 8 do whatever feels ok and don't worry too much about making progress
Google starting strength.
