Week still flying by. Some let up in sight!
Cardio and abs yesterday. Was pretty sore and tight from Tues efforts still
Chest and arms today. Good session
Will try get some more exercise in over weekend and maybe some fitness in with the son on sunday. Been getting him doing pushups every day of late and getting a bit more food in to him and hes a bit of a runt. Actually a cm or two shorter than his older sister was when she turns 8 and shes pretty tiny. Hoped he's be a 10 or 12 but looking more like a halfback now. Has actually had a great season alternating between 9 and 10. Would make a pretty good 10. Hes smart (a bit cheeky), has an awesome pass and while not allowed to kick at his grade, actually has a pretty good kicking game on him. Pretty quick too and not scrared of the bigger kids (yet!)

@JK longer term being a bit smaller can help a heap with skills and attitude. Saw that with my bro and I. He was always a bit smaller but that meant he needed good technique to drop bigger dudes, he was a flanker so the mongrel factor was already inbuilt!
I was a bit bigger/stronger earlier on and my tackling skills weren't as good - so that meant more work when I was a bit older and everyone was of a more similar size. As you get to the more even playing field if those skills aren't as developed that cuts down your time - and having time is the biggest factor in getting the most of your size/strength/skills imo.
Hope work settles a bit so you can crank the training back up. Sucks when life gets in the way of lifting tin!

Think I jinxed the little bugger! Broke his arm today at school and wasnt even playing bull rush or rugby or anything. Slipped off the playground!!! So seasons over!
A few vids of some of his rugby on my instragram but cant work out to embed here
That's seriously impressive. Most kids just run sideways and around. Having the awareness to step is a great skill at that age. Would watch a season of Aus Super rugby derbies for my boys to do that. When my youngest scored his one and only try it was more a case of "run Forrest" than being fleet of foot.
Shame about the injury but seems like he well and truth has the rugby bug.

@Rancid-Schnitzel he started early so played 3 seasons of ripper rugby, the first when he had just turned 4. Needless to say that season was close to a writeoff due to tears, lack of concentration and really not knowing what was going on. Think he got 1 trie first season, maybe 10 or so the next and then around 30 last year. But ripper to tackle is totally different and I cant wait until next year when they get a even more structure to their game and have proper kickoffs etc
This seasons been great for him, especially after not being too sure about tackle at all pre season. He loves it though, and yep a real shame he had to cut the season short
