A mate of mine needs to do weight training once a week for rugby. He would be a beginner at weight training too.
Anyone know any good routines he could do?
Why once a week? Is he currently in-season? I would recommend the WS4SB 3 in-season template: http://www.defrancostraining.com/articles/articles.htm
Nah - it’s all the time he has; he’s got other commitments.
5-6 sets of each, vary the reps, but mostly low reps (5-6)
Squat
Bench
Row
Clean & Press
Was thinking along those lines JBMan - would clean & press be good for a beginner weightlifter though?

He should learn sometime butin season might not be the right time. What position does he play? What bodytype is he?
