Alright guys, I'm throwing out different exercises of the day. Prolly not every day but as many as I can get. These are going to all be good for rugby players.
#1 Overhead Squat
While standing, unrack or clean the bar to your shoulders, then press it over your head, once locked out above your head squat down as far as possible (preferably butt to calves "full sqaut") then return to standing position.
This lift uses and extreme amount of balance and core (abs and torso) stability, as well as builds flexibility in most of your body from the waist up and assuming you are doing a full squat it builds leg flexibility as well. I'd recommend doing a good stretch and warmup with an empty bar on this before adding weight, and keep it light for a few weeks before really tearing into it. It has a great carryover to your athletic performance on the pitch.
