Have you ever tried Cleans or Clean and Presses or One Arm DB Jerks bro? Most awesome FB compund strength and power exercise for rugby ever.<br />
[/quote]<br />
<br />
Nope, never done then. Will have investigate now. <br />
<br />
Am aware that i have been missing out the really big strength builders in the past (due to gym rules and lack of proper equipment more than anything) so no deads and not much real squatting.....<br />
<br />
Cleans...<br />
Clean and Presses..<br />
One Arm DB Jerks..<br />

Not so great weekend.<br />
<br />
Pumped up because of shite form in past couple of weeks. First 5 mins took bal on crash - bumped off 13, ran through12, 10 decided to tackle me high and his finger when right into my eye.....<br />
<br />
Had double vision, everything blurred if i moved my head etc... played on for another 10 mins and had to come off as i couldn't decide which ball to catch when it was coming towards me...<br />
