Hi everyone !
First of all, this is my first post, so if I am in the wrong section, please redirect me
Let’s begin ! I am a 20 y-o french guy, 1m65 for 66kg, I played Rugby for 12 years but stopped for the two last years. And I am back on the field since a few weeks and it feels GOOD ! But I feel that I lost a bit and I want to concentrate as well on my workout trainong in order to be more efficient on the field… and this is why I come to you here !
As a beginner in the workout world, I have some question for my training schedule,I am hesitating between two schedules that I will join a litlle further.
What (between Training Schedule 1 and 2) would be the best for me in terms of strength gaining ? The first one is the 5/3/1 model of Jim Wendler, the second is the one made for me by a coach in my gym.
My goal is to improve my physical capacities to match winger position in rugby. It has to ally speed, acceleration, and agility but also strength (Missing a tackle is not an option and I regular “one-one duel” so I have to be able to overturn my opponent easily, like Savea of the All Blacks against the French team last weekend )
I add plyometric training to increase my speed and raw speed and jogging for endurance to match as much as possible to the winger position in Rugby.
So here are my 2 Schedules :
Training Schedule 1
Monday â?? Wednesday - Thursday
