I played last year while lifting and it's hard to make really good progress with all the injuries you pick up. For 2 days after every game I'd still be walking like I'd s**t myself. | ||

A World class farmer Member 576, 3429 posts SQ 350, BP 200, DL 400950.0 kgs @ 136kgs UnEq | Yeah i played pro rugby for a year then juggled national level rugby and strongman for a season. Managed it but i gotta admit i gain a lot more strength when i chopped 15 a side and focused more on lifting. Finding it hard to give up 7s though... Think it can be done but the level of success in each sport depends on the standard of rugby and the individual themselves. | ||

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq | Retired from rugby 30 years ago after being banned by my club for being too aggresive!!! Personally I think the opposing winger (yes I was playing on the wing back then) deserved it. | ||

I took up MMA because it was less violent and safer. | ||

The level of rugby you play will go along way to determining your recovery ability and hence your lifting progress. | ||

For 2 days after every game I'd still be walking like I'd s**t myself. x 2 I don't know about playing in one of the girlie positions (ie 4-15), but propping week in week really takes it out of you - especially if you are getting on a bit | ||

they call him the streak Member 2002, 400 posts SQ 182.5, BP 130, DL 240552.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Nice big hit but illegal?! No attempt to grasp the player - it's effectively an NFL style 'tackle'. | ||
