Why don't you guys play the most beta sport?
>>41501619
It doesn't interest me.
>>41501619
Rugby is the most alpha sport there is. No cucks can survive in this.
This is the truth
>>41501636
>It doesn't interest me.
Weak horizontal punching power confirmed.
>>41501701
rugby is for idiots, you literally just go off instinct instead of think
>ruck over ball
>grab ball and run
>tackle
>>41501749
6/10 bait, here's your (you)
>>41501619
Actually, I do, I even play for the national team as well. Semi pro.
>>41501619
I've played rugby, and it's pretty much just running.
Boxing/muay thai is the most alpha sport desu
>>41501872
if youre a backer its just running, but forwards are constantly scrumming, rucking, and tackling
Most alpha:
1. Hunting armed men
2. Remote country hunting
3. Martial Arts/Combat sports with at least 50%+ contact
4. Anything with a ball

Never gonna make it.
>>41501883
6'3" 230lbs prop reporting in. Can confirm that forwards do all the real work and backs just run and score
>>41501930
Actually the most alpha sport is piracy/operating a roving warband
>>41502853
>>41501883
How do I prep to be a forward?
>>41502901
>>41502853
>I'm the guy getting tackled.
Mostly a lot of power work focused around compound lifts and then hypertrophy for accessory and circuit training for cardio/endurance. Also sprints/plyos
I stick to a push/pull schedule mostly. Training week looks like this:
Mon: Push
Tues: Practice (Circuits, cardio, plyos/sprints)
Wed: Pull
Thurs: Practice
Friday: Rest
Sat: Game
Sun: Rest
Squats and deadlifts are your best friends
>>41502901
Squat and deadlift.
I started with 5x5 for strength base. Now I start my workouts with 5x5 of compound lifts and 4x8 of accessory work. Also do lots of sprints
is this the worst thread in /rug/ history?
>>41502957
>>41502971
Awesome, thanks m8s
>>41502957
Hold up, did you mean that's (You) in the pic? Or that's basically your lot in the game?
>>41502853
>>41501783
And where were you when I made a thread a few weeks ago asking where could I find juicy rugby players?
Rugby is an alpha sport. Ice hockey is fine too. Hunting is autistic. Rugby is where it is and the bodies are amazing.
>>41501619
Boys I wanna learn rugby. Is it too late at 19? I'm in uni btw
>>41504018
you're good lad
>>41504018
nah. I started my freshman year of college (18). I played American football in HS and was a skinny fuck so I played back. Stayed for the drinking.
>>41504018
fuck no, you'll never play professionally but you could get good enough to have a good time.
Go join a club and remember to run a lot.
>>41503465
>hunting is autistic
>finding juicy rugby players
>male bodies
>amazing
How can someone be this much of a faggot
>>41504018 see >>41504043
Joined my state college's rugby team and the drinking aspect of rugby is so fucking nice, it's like joining a frat without the dues, and without being known as a giant faggot
Hell I actually get people impressed when I say I play for my state's team, when in actuality I just run around a lot and drink my ass off
Rugby is confirmed best sport
>>41501739
Barry Hall is the toughest cunt

Americuck. Why did you faggots decide to pussify the beloved European sport of Rugby by putting on faggot armor and having faggot plays that last for 10 faggoty seconds before there is a faggot break for 5 minutes so that the fat faggot fans can buy faggot ''beer'' and just all around be American faggots?
I used to play rugby, I was the hooker and am a total faggot. I used get huge boners in the scrums.
>>41501781
>Rugby
>stiff arm
What the fuck?! its called a fucking hand off
>c-can we stop please referee? I need to adjust my armour
>>41506242
All because niggers can't be bothered to learn how to properly fucking tackle.
>Not playing gaelic games
>>41501619
t. cuck who would get absolutely trucked 10/10 if he played any acceptable standard of rugby

>>41501749
>hurr rugby just for eejits

>>41501872
guessing you were placed as a retarded forward then
>>41502901
put on weight and work on your strength and power, be prepared to sacrifice some aesthetics in the short run for looking thicc and powerful as fuck in the long term
>>41504018
not at all
>>41506548
GAA are the king of all field sports.
it might've only been the case around where I live, but rugby always attracted the douchey autists. you all know the ones; they THINK they're tremendously cool and engage in a variety of slightly uncommon hobbies (in this case, playing rugby in the U.S. rather than football), but everyone just sees them as weirdos.
>>41506616
not the case in the U.K desu, the top rugby players are much more likely to be chads
>>41503081
doubt it
>>41501619
bumperino
>>41501619
I can't catch
>>41507478
catching is overrated, become a forward
>>41507481
But I assume at some point I'd need to catch SOMETHING, right?
>>41507509
meh
>>41507509
Eh, long as a you have a good player wholl claim all the restarts, and you do enough around the field to not have to take a lot of carries, you should be ok. If you're a forward, mind. As a back catching is pretty important.
>>41501619
>tfw my University is always top 3 @ rugby.
