As an aside - The Podcast server asked to write our show-notes... here they are 😂
Have you ever witnessed an amateur rugby player's metamorphosis into a strength and conditioning guru? This time on Rugby Muscle Podcast, we're graced by the presence of Joel Harris from Strength Solution. He pulls back the curtain on his personal evolution within the sport, shedding light on the stark contrasts between professional and grassroots training. His narrative is a gripping one, shaped by his family's deep rugby roots and his unabating quest to enhance training approaches across all levels.
Joel and I get candid about the rigorous discipline required to excel both on the pitch and in life, reflecting on the transformative journey from casual gym-goer to disciplined athlete. We take a critical look at the flood of fitness advice on social media, dissecting how the quest for quick fixes and sensationalism can lead many astray. There’s an art to navigating these waters, and we’re here to chart the course, discussing the need for training regimens that honor the individuality of each player’s journey.
Wrapping up our discussion, we delve into the intricacies of programming for rugby fitness, stressing the importance of data in driving coaching decisions and athlete progress. It's not just about lifting heavy; we analyze the nuances of key lifts and how they can be powerful indicators of overall performance enhancement. As we consider off-season training strategies and the vital role of setting measurable goals, we leave no stone unturned, providing listeners with a holistic view of what it takes to reach the pinnacle of rugby strength and conditioning.Support the show
