HOW TO GET FASTER FOR RUGBY

[@timothylea9814]

I just want to say thank you for your videos. I’ve been training for rugby for a while now. I’m trying to get faster and your videos help. I have lost 15kg put 20 kg on my squat added 14 cm to my counter jump and I have seen huge speed increase. I appreciate the systematic approach that you give for speed training. It has given me good guide posts to focus on.

Timothy, those are some seriously impressive changes! Well done!!! I’m delighted if my content has helped guide you a little - that’s exactly why I make videos. Cheers.

This content is super. Definitely keen for speed mechanics video. With gyms opening I’m working on relative strength.👍👍

Sorry it’s taken so long, but I’ve got a new video on this topic dropping in Summer 2024. I’m really excited about it. stay tuned.

Hi Fraser, brilliant insight into increasing speed capacity. I was really interested in all of this really, but in particular I was really interested in the mechanics. The technique is not something I have paid much attention to and was wondering if you had much demand for doing a follow up for speed mechanics and what to look for? Great stuff though. I have immediately added what you have spoken about into my training. At some point I got older and slow so need to get back on the speed training! Thank you.

Hi Martin, thanks for that. The speed mechs. video is on the list for sure ✔️

[@martinrobertson8752]

@@CoachFmt Thanks F, can you give a steer on some of the slow plyo movements you speak about? You mentioned bounding - is that just v.long stride running?

[@hbeytollah]

Yes on speed mechanics!

New video on this coming in Summer 2024 - sorry for the wait. It’ll be worth it though!

Hi I love your videos

[@CoachFmt]

Great, glad you like them.

Are the squat standards based on parallel or a2g squats?

[@CoachFmt]

Squat would be based on the athlete getting the crease of their hip down and in line with their knee or below (parallel). I say this, because sometimes people say parallel and use the knee angle only.

👌 thanks

[@CoachFmt]

No problem

What's the best technique for running? Great video

[@CoachFmt]

The one that gets you there fastest buddy! There are a good few things to look at during each phase of a sprint - I'll maybe make a video on the specific postures we want to encourage during each phase, with corresponding drills, if that's something people are interested in 👍.
