William Pearce's Rugby Strength Program

William Pearce created a personal exercise program to improve his strength for rugby. The 6-week program included weight lifting sessions 3 times per week. Each session consisted of 5 sets of 10 reps of exercises targeting the chest, biceps, quads, traps, and triceps. The intensity was set at 60-80% of his maximum single lift and he increased the weights over the weeks. In his reflections, he noted muscle soreness and areas for improvement like stretching more and being better prepared mentally.

It was a little bit easier but my back still hurt from session one because I might have over done it a
bit with the weight. I got cramp during one of the exercises I need to stretch more so I don’t have
that problem.

I feel this was a bad session because in most of my exercises I haven’t performed very well I think it
was because I have put the weight up to fast, an I my body can’t keep up with it but because I have
done it now I’m going to stick with it, plus I don’t feel like I came mentally prepared

Changed my routine today and increased the amount of weight on some exercises I’ve kept in my
routine. The ones that I have changed the weight of didn’t seem to have an effect on me it just felt
like (in the bicep case) it was 20kg. And on bicep curl when I got that 9 it’s where I dropped the
dumbbell because my hands were sweaty.

As you can see I’ve raised the weight on my chest and bicep so it is a little harder because (in the
bicep case) 22.5 felt like 20 kg so that is why I raised it. I didn’t run up today because after school I
went on a long slow jog with my mate and his dog for about 25 minutes.
