- 18554
Calling all rugby players! Think you're fit?
Why not challenge yourself and take on this intense session, which pushed Irish legend Brian O'Driscoll to the limit!
Returning ahead of a Lions year, Brian was put through his toughest weight session to date.
"I can remember like it was yesterday. It was 2009 and I'd just returned from holidays. It was a Lions Year so I felt 4 weeks break wasn't sufficient.
"Strength and Conditioning coach Chris Dennis (who's now with Geelong Cats in the AFL) came up with a program decided to beast me on day one. He put me in with a group of players that were 3 weeks into their pre season program. What ensued was torturous!"
The session consists of 10 exercises with each exercise containing 100 reps. The idea is to get through the session as quickly as possible. Rest times are up to you. Set repetitions are also up to you. You can attack them in big chunks with more rest time or smaller efforts with greater speed.
"It was meant to be a 45-50 min session. It took me 85 mins!"
