>Is it possible to lose weight while gaining good muscle
You can gain muscle but it wont be a large amount, unless you're roiding
>should I just cut like crazy then bulk
No, you're gonna be running around a lot and pushing big guys
you need at least your TDEE+1000k to maintain your weight

Professional Rugby has some of the most masculine and most aesthetic males on the planet.

I played rugby for county when I was younger and for the university I went to.

Coaches seem to care more about size, in my opinion stay big to get in then cut down as you want.

>>41867014
Damn

>>41867018
>never watched a rugby match

>>41867045
Part of the reason I want to play, I want that rugby bod

>>41866983
Flanker reporting in. Focus on your skillset over strength and do plyometrics.

>>41867101
>never played a rugby match

>>41866983
You want to be a fast as possible while also being as big as possible. Eat a ton, run a lot, bench/squat and gain strength. Highly recommend doing the cart push with plates exercise, or like tire flips.

Thanks, I'm going to start adding this shit in

>>41867018
Can you play in this with friends?
You Americans always think up crap.
There is onle one real football.
football by foot.

>>41867303

naw dude it's called football because the ball is one foot long

How can I prepare myself physically for rugby taking into account that I can't actually playing rugby? At the moment I have a metal bar in my chest and I can't play physical sports but the bar will be removed in more or less 10 months. I can do everything at the gym and run/jog. I'm also running a strenght program.

Oi socials mates innit you got any decent songs to share

>tfw when I'm a female rugby player, your height and weigh 5kg more than you

Kek

>>41866983
Depends on where youre playing and type of player you want to be in your position. Can never go wrong with olympic lifting to build power and increase effectiveness in contact areas.

Building core skills like passing and footwork before contact will make you a much more effective player than size and weight.

>>41870909
pls b in A U C K L A N D

>>41869334
If you're young and other people in your local club are too, you can probably, as long as you start dirty bulking right away; otherwise no, you'll just get tossed around
t. 174 cm (5'7-5'8) 95 kg

>>41871088
What counts as young? Uni age?

>>41867811
She asked for an orgasm.
Who gives a fuck what she wants!?

>>41866983
It's the off season faggot aka bulking season

What position do you play?

>>41866983
How tall are you? If you're 5'8 youre a fat fuck and should cut, if you're 6'3 you should bulk for 3 months and get strong as fuck.

Unless you play 10 being a little heavier will help even if it's not even 25% muscle. You'll just be stronger and harder to send flying.

If you're a skinny DYEL you need to start a 5/3/1 immediately and drink a gallon of milk a day. If you're a 6'1" 220 beast then i wouldnt worry too much. Depends where you're at. What uni are you gonna play for? You in Aus, NZ or UK?

>>41872769
Or 9, but nobodys gonna let the noob play halfback

>>41869334
Not a chance lad eat some fuckin eggs and get under a bar

Do a strength/powerlifting program with conditioning accessories like tire flips and sled pushes. Also, train sprints for explosiveness at least 3x a week (not including the sprint warm-ups you will do at practices).

Eat your TDEE plus 1000. You are probably playing 15's, but even if you're playing 7's you need to be eating a lot and gaining muscle mass.

I'm 6'-6'1, I have visible muscle with just with extra fat, chest is slightly more out than gut. And years of hard hammer swinging jobs have made my chest and arms thick, also played 4 years of wrestling and American football in highschool

also amerifag, but I'll be living in Auckland for my junior year of college and I don't want to be a pussy

So I assume ignore the extra fat and try and get on a clean bulk? Because that's the plan I've been going for but I guess the excess flab will be burned once I'm into my bulk

>>41873172
Should I try and maintain a slight deficit in order to get some flab off?

>>41867101

that rugby THICK NECKSTHETICS

Really depends on the position you are playing also if Union or league. League players tend to be smaller and leaner as the game is faster and less physical.

If you are a foward like a prop you are gonna want to have as much muscle as possible and some extra fat to maximise weight without impacting cardio vascular performance too much.

But if you are a back like a fly half or a full back. Your main focous is on speed and manuverability. You still need some muscle as you are going to get tackled but backs tend to be a lot smaller and leaner to maximise that speed.

The position you are suited to generally is decided by your height and frame and ability to kick.

Rugby player train by doing a lot of Olympic lifts as well as the big 3 compounds and explosive movements supplement by cardiovascular conditioning and accessories work.

Welcome to Aotearoa. Hope you enjoy your time here.

>>41871881
Yeah, but even younger would be best.

any of yous cunts getting round the SoO tonight?

>people saying that rugby is for big guys

Have you ever played a rugby game?

the shorts or "manlet" are the most scary shit, as they can go down your fucking legs and tackle you real good, plus, they can run and outspeed you real good

What i do is just go to the gym, get stronger and that's it, i will lose weight however it depends what position you like and shit

Yep. Rugby League legend Rob Burrow is only 5'5 and weighs less than 70kg and he's won two cups, 7 league titles and been named man of the match in the Grand final twice.

is 6'1 a good height for rugby? is it to small?

>>41867018
cute padding lmao

>>41874614
fuck yeah lad up the QLDRS

>>41866983
depends what position you play, for half back or playmaker you want to be short and stocky and can run like the wind so you can slip through the big guys when they tire (see allan langer). for front row just eat a fuck load and be at least 6 foot + tall and 150kg and just rampage like a mad cunt (see andrew fifita).

>>41874880
That's a solid height. The only position where people tend to be really tall are the locks . You should be fine for any other position.

>>41867811
An Oriental telescope she wanted
MY JAP'S EYE SHE GOT

>>41867763
physically, if you lift look at your back form that straight back with tilted hips is essencial in every cantact aspect of rugby.
depends on the level but normally you could show up and say that you cant do full cantact untill your metal bar is removed and train with the guys. normal training isnt full contact most of the time

>>41867811
a good deal she asked for
Fucked she got

>>41866983
>lean or built
Rugby is great in that both have their place and function

>>41874887
Nice pink uniform, fag. Gonna suck Chads dick after the game too?

>>41874178
Thanks, it was either Dunedin or Auckland, and I was advised to do Auckland

>>41873880
I'm gonna go everywhere I can, New Zealand is too awesome to stay in Auckland

>>41874921
Lol and as much as I want to be 150 kg of muscle, 90-100 kg and 6'1 is my area, maybe even the upper 80's if I work my ass off

>>41873431
I may be in America but all the good players I've met were like fucking bears, they're on another level, I can't wait until I meet the guys who actually go hard

>>41873848
Thanks, I don't know what position I'm going to be yet, wherever they put me I guess, I still need to do some more reading on the game

And it's funny the first time you watch rugby, it's nothing special, but after watching a couple games and getting into it, you realize how fucking pussified the NFL is, hell even hockey is more rough than the NFL

Can't fucking wait to play this shit

>>41876828
The rarest of sights, an American with proper sports sense.

God speed m8.

>>41876314
Are you so mentally impaired that you have a child's view of splitting colours into 'boy colours' and 'girl colours'? There is no problem with wearing pink, particularly if you have any self-esteem/ aren't a complete incel. Also this if /fit/ 50% of people here would try for those extra protein gains.

>>41867018
Second post best post

>>41877214
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy going tailgating at college football games, and I think that is some real fun shit, but I can't imagine how fun a rugby game must be to go to with some mates being completely fucked

Definitely going to as many games as I can in NZ and AUS

>>41866983
Im captain of my uni rugby team. It kinda depends on what position you'll be playing. If you're in the tight 5 I would try to lean bulk but if you're anything else focus on being lean and fast.
Im a 6'3 240lb prop. Im not that heavy for my position but I'm way more fit than other guys my position and my coaches prefer that
