Rugby player is a complete set of strength, athletic, stamina, speed and weightlifting

In my 22 year life, this is the first media I've ever seen produced by Wales.

99% chance BF % were not accurate.

His back and shoulder positions really changed, I think the training really fixed some weird posture issue he must have had

Had an umbilical hernia for years, still lifting fine. No need for the “just found my dog has cancer” soundtrack. You’ll live.

Translation: I promoted a bunch of supplements, did what appears to be a bunch of crossfit workouts and then made up my own bf% numbers.

The man had the beginning of gynocamastia. He was about 25-30%, not 11%. And, you only see his front and upper body.

I think you belittle the fact that the athletes you're talking about had to stay committed to that level of training since they were kids. High level sport isn't something that you can just pick up for a few weeks.

meh, the guy was in decent shape already with decent muscle mass across his arms, chest and shoulders.

Well done. You're looking really good after the 6 weeks.

Thanks for sharing your experience. This hernia will be a reminder for proper periodization / execution of the exercise program in the future. Not all bodily tissues are able to withstand strain and recover from it following a similar timeline. It will hopefully heal, not become sequestered, but unless surgically taken care of, it'll keep on being a weak spot in your abdomen. Exercise is life, it is therapeutic and can also be detrimental. It all depends on how it is approached. Be well 👍

The score made it cheap and tacky. Don't need to hype up the emotion that much. Also, nice subtle product placement ;)

Oh dear that is such a shame, but I am so glad for the openness and honesty in this video, thank you so much!

This is so real. I continued to train with minor sciatica and eventually blew out (literally demolished) one of my lumbar discs. Been 4 months and I am just starting to jog again.

No training to extreme training is not a good idea. Im no expert but I've found it takes a while for your body to build a base strength and be ready for hard training

Amazing results for such a short term. I’ve been training like them for the past 3 years and I got big af haha 😂

That’s not 12.7% bf lol

No way he is 12% bodyfat at the beginning. At least 17-19%, maybe over 20%. Man people have no idea what bodyfat percentages look like.

Hey if possible could you add somewhere the actual workout program you followed. Like what you trained for ie Diet (macro breakdown), Conitioning, Strength or Speed and breakdown all reps, sets, rests, intensity etc. Thanks, this was a good video and whatever program you followed it clearly worked, just woulda been a lot better video with all the info above explained somewhere. Thanks mate.

Great video. Im about to start training after 2 years off and this is eye opening so i will take it slow and listen to my body

Fuck those body fat percentages are shit, he is at best 15% on a good day

good man, this was a concise yet informative video.

They showed all stats, but forgot to tell his height..

I reckon I’ve got the eating part sorted. Especially the portions. One step at a time though aye? Time for a beer.

Im 12% bf and still have no abs lol y'all should shut up because lifting weights doesnt mean you are going to get abs, some people like us stock fat in the belly more than in any other part of the body. Fat doesnt stock the same for everyone.

The best rugby workout is pushing a sled with 100kg on it on dry turf

Man you looked good even before training

6 weeks isnt enough for full results, but good video it does show progress.

well, this told me pretty much nothing.

And now back to junk food. And by the way: nice product placement. Thought no one will recognize?

I bet 2 full body workout sessions of strength training a week and more time actually playing and practicing rugby would be a better approach. Your supplemental training to your sport should never cause an injury.

12.7 percent body fat..? come on

We need more vids like this

Class!

Can’t wait to get ready for high school

What about impact conditioning? Definately has an effect on muscle density, and perhaps bone density.

I’m calling bs....11% and no abs....yeah 👍

Military, law enforcement, spec ops people usually don't take supplements during there training, and they are hard as nail because they work off what there body can give them

Could you share your sessions? like your workouts.

Great effort man but there’s absolutely no way your 11% body weight

It' easier when you're starting from scratch. Even a basic beginner workout will get a dad-bod looking more like a rugby player in 4 weeks

He was already in good shape

For someone who is running a 5 something a KM is already in incredible shape. At 12.2% body fat this should not be a big deal.

I think rugby players are the toughest athletes, most likely, in the world.

Yeah, because you totally need to take BCAAs and all those supplements to be a pro athlete. I totally need to take stuff that are in most cases useless especially if you are on a balanced diet with above average calorie intake.

One thing you said .. that your fat loss resulted in higher lean mass percentage but I think it’s more likely that you gained lean mass resulting in body fat percentage loss

Not a chance those body fat percentages are correct. Before I would say 18-20%, and after around 12-14%

All this hate but at least he challenged himself..

Singley able to commit the time to it, but fair do's with all the supplements and expert advice it shows what can be done.

Would of been a more interesting vid if you played a game before all the training did the 4 weeks of training and afterwards played another game and see the difference in your performance, anyone can follow a training regime.

wales blogging almost put me to sleep man!

Nice supplement advert

Doesn't look any different at all.. was fine to begin with , should of used a skinny / tall journalist to show it really works. The man already had traps hahah

Absurd. I'm not at all surprised that he got injured. Pro rugby players have been training hard for years, often since they were children. A random guy with an office job cannot reach the same level of fitness in only 6 weeks.

12.7 BF ? It looks more like 17.2 BF

This was just a advert for a supplement company dressed up.

Supplement ad thrown in.

Nice video it shows how players have to sacrifice and train . yeah he did not go on the field but still good stuff man

I think it's the actual rugby than the gym sessions that make the look

How much did you eat a day? What was your workout regiment? Cardio, how much?

The reason you got a hernia is because you went from minimal if any training to intense training nearly every day. You should have done some light workouts and gotten your body accustomed to lifting weights before turning up the intensity.

People here are so misinformed to begin with. They probably do not understand that he made over a 10%(not a super accurate calculation) improvement in fat levels

35%*

You didn't elaborate on what the Game Day supplement had in it!

no way that’s 12.7 percent body fat

I respect you had an injury so had to cut it short but don’t lie in the title and still say 6 weeks....

Get yourself some hot sauce, it’s essential for ANY professional sport.

You were more than 12.5% bodyfat at the start 😆

"lean muscle gain of 1.52 kg" yeah sure... totally not water weight from all the carbs lol

You wanna know what I do with pain? I rest it a little for 1-2 days and then start training the painful area

That's what will happen when u train without a base strength first starting out U will get injured!! A base program such as Starting Strength Or strong lifts or even Greyskull lp is recommended ...peace out

Sorry but the comparison is not relevant. On the second picture the camera is closer from you than the first one, so it's normal that you look bigger...

From the thumbnail, I thought this guy was Ralph Macchio (the original Karate Kid). lol

Title is misleading as he could only manage 4 weeks .

man I wish I could afford supplements like that I just got better from being ill (had to take a week off) and as soon as I start training again (3 days in) I fall ill again (luckily its the weekend)

So much hate on this video.

You have to remember that a full time job is stressful in itself. Job stress + exercise stress == too much stress.

It is fucking amazing

what a great job

I want to know if he continued this whole session

Well done holding down a job and training like that great results too, people are always going to hate something body fat innacurate etc, bollock to m.👍

You don't need supplements for training. If your really tough your just use your will power and proper eating. Most supplements mess with your natural body chemistry, plus there an excuse to not push your self as hard.

Christ are you trying to tell us that Adam Jones went through THAT taining!!!??? (And I am being sarcastic Jones was a great player)

Looks like he didnt even touch the bench press. His chest barely changed!

That is not 12% body fat. If it was 12% then were is his six pack

Will this diet and programme be released

Let us know yr program..

the thing is professional athletes bodies don't break down on them after 8 weeks. you have to do these types of routines for years to reach pro level...of course all athlete's bodies fail them in the end .

What's with all the supplements?!!? Natural food and organic where possible. Not synthetic junk in a tub.

top effort

Looks cold

how were u 12% in the beginning ??

He started big enough

LOOL the Lord of the Rings background song

It kind looks like one shoulder hangs lower than the other.

what is the background music at about 0:40 its very nostalgic

Just checking whether he’s trying to say the hernia was induced by his training?... let me know pls anyone

No way you were at 12.7% body fat when you started

Im 5.10. 53 KG 29 year's old im skinny but not as fuck but skinny. My point of i ever followed this im a able to grow and gain weight? Please reply

480p in 2018 is a joke.
