Any Qs about the session then drop them below 😁

[@andrewdonnan2169]

What weight percentages would you recommend for this workout?

[@luketreharneTi7s]

@@andrewdonnan2169 It depends on the exercises, so for power cleans we are looking to work up to near enough 100% 3rep max. For things like the squat we want to have 1/2 reps still left in the tank. The best thing to do is find a good starting point in week 1 and gradually increase the weights over 3-4 weeks. Hope that answers that.

any reason you're doing half squats?

Hi Luke, I play rugby league and I was wondering would this still be an effective workout to use from both upper and lower videos, thanks 🙏🏿

[@luketreharneTi7s]

Hey Jake, I’ve not seen first hand what professional league training is like but I think they would be fine 😀

[@iroamtyson2631]

What would you recommend for cardio for a rugby player? To do for cardio ? During the school holidays? After a weight session

[@luketreharneTi7s]

Hey Iroam, if you're interested in running sessions. We have a running plan available to purchase on our instagram page. If you DM us on @this_is_7s

[@parpajon9034]

Hi Luke, I am a player and I write from Italy, thank you very much for the content you kindly share with us. I finished the championship and would like to use the upper and lower body gym sessions you shared, along with the speed and fitness sessions. How can I manage them during the week? How many times to do them? Thank you so much !!!

[@luketreharneTi7s]

Hey 😃 I hope you're season went well and thanks for the message! Its completely up to your personal preference and goals but I train four days a week. Fitness & upper body sessions on mondays and thursdays. Speed and lower body on tuesdays and fridays. We've almost finished a 4 week pre-season running plan which should be available in the next few weeks!

What's the split in the gym you would do ? Eg full body split or PPL ?

[@luketreharneTi7s]

Monday - upper body (push/pull) Tuesday - lower body (normally power based) Thursday - upper body (push/pull) Friday - lower body (normally more strength based)

[@lightningpower927]

Hi bro, I just discovered your channel and I am just so syked to have found your content... i.e footwork, upper body, lower body, etc. I've also watched you play at both Malaga and Seville and was really impressed with your calibre. I'm just wondering, how can I adapt the exercises in this session to suit a more at-home training environment? Thanks bro and best of luck for your future tournaments.

[@luketreharneTi7s]

Thanks so much! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpeXinqEgdmkbNk&ab_channel=LukeTreharne heres a video of some power exercises you can do at home. A1 & A2 you can do at home with no weights and just go for vertical jumps instead of box jumps. B1 power clean is hard to replicate at home but you could add another double leg power exercise like broad jumps. C1 back squat you could do some wall sits and add weight anyway you can or even try some single leg work like a pistol squat D1 & D2 you can perform at home just with a raised ledge Hope this helps.

[@SportsFan-gr8zx]

Hi Luke, thanks for sharing this. I noticed you don't go for 'arse to grass' in your squats. Is this something the S&C coach is keen on avoiding? There's a lot of debate on how deep squats should be in the fitness world so just curious!

[@luketreharneTi7s]

Hey 😀 yeah loads of debate around this. I’ve always been taught by S and Cs I’ve worked with to go close to 90degree knee angle. So I’ve just stuck with that. Still feel you get good glute and quad work out of it.

How would you split up your week Luke with your upper and lower body sessions and also speed/fitness training all in the same week

[@luketreharneTi7s]

Hey Max. Standard week for me would be. Monday - fitness and UB weights. Tuesday - speed (top end speed) and LB weights Wednesday - cycle 30mins Thursday - fitness and UB weight (diff sessions to Monday) Friday - speed (accelerations) and LB weights (diff sessions to Tuesday) Hope that helps 🙌

Perfect content as usual😁.......I was hoping if you could do a video on strength and fitness testing that you go through before tournaments🙏

[@luketreharneTi7s]

Thank you 😃 what kind of testing were you thinking about? most of the testing is done in pre-season for us rather than before tournaments.

[@luketreharneTi7s]

@@mpumelelomavuso1809 So there are loads of different tests that rugby teams do. And it definitely goes through phases. Atm teams seem to be using the Bronco test quite a bit. But we also do tests like the 30:15, where you have a 40m shuttle and you run for 30s, rest for 15s and the distance gradually gets longer with each level. We have also run the 1200m test. Most teams will have some form of jump testing and speed testing 😃 But testing isn't anything to worry about, just a good way to compare how you're improving.

[@augustopasso5810]

Well, this is Augusto Passo from Colombia, I have been following you for several weeks and I would like to know, or rather, that you upload a routine for your shoulders from home. something explosive or I don't know, the truth is that I fractured my clavicle and I would like to know a routine for it.

[@luketreharneTi7s]

Hi Augusto, sorry to hear about your clavicle, hopefully you recover soon. Theres a shoulder circuit in this video which I normally do: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpjNl4hjhZ17f6M&ab_channel=LukeTreharne Make sure your physio/doctor is happy for you to be performing shoulder exercises.

great video how come you dont dead lift i was told they were essential for rugby players

[@luketreharneTi7s]

Cheers Josh 🙌well I've never deadlifted before in my life! and thats not to say it isn't a good exercise, it very much is. All exercises have their pros and cons and every SandC coach will have different preferences. But from my experience of a few different professional environments, deadlifting doesn't pop up all that often.

@@luketreharneTi7s cheers for the reply luke i would definitely trust your sources over mine
