Just play football. Rugby is a sport for pussies.

no need to for power when you don't even hit each other hard enough to warrant padding

He wants explosive strenght, not exploding knees.

>>42209685
Train you VO2max, which means intervals 2 times a week. Basically do a plan for 5k or 10k.

>>42210921
That's not explosive power is it desu, that's slow twitch

>>42209685

Lift heavy and run fast

heavy lifts
olympic lifts

Can't make this shit up

>>42211112
>guy on the left looking like a fag in his pink uni
>man on the right actually looks normal

Hmmmmmmmmmm

your explosiveness is almost completely genetic

> Trimmed beard
> Make up
> Looking lovingly into another dude's eye
> Caring about colours

America is a cocksucking nation just recognize it.

I'm an American and even I have to say that football is the pussy version of rugby. We added a full face helmet and body armor.

>>42210582

>Footy player in pink still looks harder than handegg man in armour

Just sit there and feel the sensations of a full on sprint in your mind for a while.

Then actually sprint.

>mfw this somehow works

>>42210582
The guy in pink looks tougher than the faggot wearing steel armour to play a sport with an egg and niggers

Supertotal + sprints and sledwork
Supersquats program works quite well

>t. ex academy flanker

>>42214024
Without armour the niggas would wreck him

Then you're retarded. The pads let you hit harder, not just protect you. Same thing with boxing: the gloves aren't there solely for hand protection, they allow you to hit harder and with less exact form.
I toured through NZ playing rugby and the universal consensus was that Americans hit harder than anyone else they'd ever played (but had far worse ball handling skills).

>>42216181
hitting harder in rugby is how you get yourself more injured than the guy you are hitting
am also american and played rugby with a guy who used to play football and he dislocated his shoulder on the first tackle he made

>>42209791
underrated.
