How do i increase mu muscle size for rugby?
Well it depends on the position you aspire to play. If you like fly-half or winger, adding muscle mass is definitely secondary to working on your acceleration and sprinting skills — which means interval training and plyometrics. If, on the other hand, you wish to play prop or second row, core strength is your primary concern. Centre or loose forward — somewhere in between. Anyway, the prime core building exercises are deep squats, power cleans, and perhaps deadlifts. If you don’t know what these are you need to get some coaching in order to perform them correctly, and without getting injured. But before you hit the weights seriously, consider that every ounce of muscle you add — particularly to your upper body — is mass that you are going to have to drag up and down the pitch for the entire match. And it doesn’t matter how big and strong you are if you are so busy gasping for breath that you can’t get to the ball.
