Review
I began using The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Rugby before last season (2005), and saw the benefits almost immediately when the preseason club training began. I felt all the strength and power training come into affect with the rigors of the preseason and then during the first few games of the season. Even later on in the season, I continuously felt and saw the advantages of what I had accomplished with your program during the off/preseason. The overall change to both my body strength and performance has made several of my fellow club and team members join me this off-season in using your programs in preparation for the upcoming 2006 campaign. --Andrew A, 2005 Div 1 Men's League Champion.
I have been playing rugby for 23 years. I presently play for a men's club side in the Philadelphia area. I Played for a nationally-ranked Penn State team in the early '90's and am affiliated with a resurgent team at the moment. Until recently, I have struggled with strength and weight gains. Your book has helped me gain 34 pounds of muscle and incredible improvements in my strength. Thanks for everything. I have told many people about The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Rugby and I have lent it out to many of my friends. --Jason S
