Starting Stats (1st April)

Weight: 74.2kg
Estimated 1RM squat test: 5 x 120kg (135kg)
Broad Jump: 252cm
Standing Vert CMJ: 53.5cm
Bleep Test: Lvl 9 shuttle 11
QC Step Test VO2: 50.8
Peak Exp Flow: 735 L/min

Finishing Stats (11-12th May)

Weight: 73.5kg
Estimated 1RM squat test: 2 x 120kg (123kg)
Broad Jump: N/A
Standing Vert CMJ: N/A
Bleep Test: Lvl 9 shuttle 11
QC Step Test VO2: 50.8
Peak Exp Flow: 745 L/min

After all this I ended up scoring the same in both the step test and the bleep test, and slightly better in Peak Flow. With my hamstring injury I was never going to do well in the strength & power tests, so I didn’t even bother trying a broad jump or CMJ as it’s not a fair comparison. I gave squats a go and my T-spine felt weak which made me stop after two reps.

Overall I would change a few things before suggesting this program to others, which I’ll address in more detail when I make a video:
1) aerobic to Interval Training should be 4:1, while this had no aerobic. I would add in a 30-40 minute run once a week of steady state.
2) Without being biased by tearing my hamstring, the sprints aren’t ideal. To minimise risk of injury I would cut it off at 20m and maybe only do 8 x 10m, 4 x 20m in the first session and build that volume up too.
3) The program assumes we have some strength to hold on to, in the way it uses a 2 x 3 scheme for the big lifts. The friend who requested this hasn’t been to the gym all year so for him I would simply put in 3 x 6-8 of a main lift instead. I wouldn’t have new trainees go straight into moderately heavy triples.

First things first, track. My friend is training for Ironman and was doing 10 x 400m with 4-5 mins rest, and I did reps 1,3,5,7,8 and we raced the final rep. Having done that there was NO chance of me doing RLESS when I came home so instead I joined him for his weights session, which we ended up going through twice. Some of the exercises like split squat, hip thrust and bicep curls were really tough in the 2X4 (or 4X2) tempo format and as long as they don’t blunt my max. strength noticeably i’m happy to include that session every week as it’s a little something different and had me way out my comfort zone.

20km Bike

It was very muddy where we went and although a few km were on road the majority of it was rough terrain and annoyingly was so bad in places my tyres were slipping and I had to walk the bike. Between us my mate and I fell over about 40 times and gaining any fitness out of it wasn’t really possible. Good fun though.

Note: This year started off in Loughborough, where I took on a full time position in a bar around March. That lasted until early July, I then did ~ 3 weeks of bar work during the Olympics before living with my parents in Crowborough for the rest of the year. I had given up competitive sprinting and was only playing rugby as something to do, so most of the year was a bit aimless.

Pre-Rugby Broad Jumps

Rugby Training

All forward play again, lots of pushing no running. The broad jumps were ok, didn’t feel half as warmed up as with the deadlifts though.

Nov 3

Rugby Match

League Game v Uckfield 2nd XV Won 13-0

I had to be a linesman the first half, played the second but wasn’t passed to ONCE. Only time I touched it was when they dropped it and I picked it up and passed it to someone. Basically 40 minutes watching us kick it and hopelessly chase, not what I call rugby. The other winger was equally frustrated and I hope this isn’t how they play every week. By the time I had to run it’d been about 80 minutes since i’d warmed up so I wasn’t risking my hamstrings and jogged everywhere, probably good I didn’t get the ball cos i’d have pulled something.

Ridiculous wind. At least it wasn’t raining and I could actually do the session, but the wind was around 20mph directly against me down the back straight, and the home straight is always flooded so I don’t have a choice to run with it. The most I’ve run into in a race is -2.4 m/s, this was probably around -8.0 m/s and I was verging on stationary jogging on the final rep.

Rugby Match – Friendly v Hellingly 3rds Won 36-5

Good to play again. Pitch was awful due to the rain, sank about 2 inches when I put a foot down and some parts of the pitch had half an inch of surface water. Played about 45 mins, first possession I ran round two people and set up a try, after that I was soaked and didn’t want to go flat out in case I tore a hamstring. Injury-free and think I made a good enough impression to warrant a place in the squad for next weeks game against the league leaders East Grinstead 3rds.

I wrote recovery instead of rest because that’s what it is, a painful 10 or so minutes to stop breathing like you’re going to die, get your legs moving and get back to the start line. Whoever does lactic training on a regular basis is mentally unwell. I am going to do 200m next week as a little tester before trying this again as unlike 5/3/1 there’s no escaping the need to rest once in a while from this kind of physical self-abuse.
