    I'm a retired rugby player from New Zealand with a fairly extensive playing career. Prop. Moved to the states gained a ton of weight maxing out at 314
    All of my years playing I trained like the mentioned above heavy lifting, deadlift, sprint training etc.

    Nothing I mean nothing has every got me into better shape than P90X and P90X2. X2 especially is amazing for explosive power. I haven't lifted a weight over 40lbs to get there.

    36 and feeling 22 again.

    Used to play union openside flanker until a knee injury put me out of the game for good. At the time I did a lot of mid & long distance running for cardio, then plyometrics & body weight calisthenics for strength & explosive power. And lots and lots of core work.

    Fly half and Inside centre

    Alot of running, calisthenics and alot of repetition. On days you dont train, you will want to do some cardio like cycling, rowing or swimming. My mind set during training was to be the fittest guy on the paddock. And 9 times out of 10 it did seem that way on game day.
