The best internet food company in the known universe is Paleo Brands. Granted, there isn't a whole lot of competition but on the whole they do a great job of offering super healthy, prepackaged food for the power/performance minded athlete in addition to general nutrition information. Guys, I can't emphasize this enough, NUTRITION IS CRITICAL!!! It can literally make or break your athletic career. I'm not saying you guys need to go out and spend all your money on prepackaged cave man fodder but you do need to educate yourselves and you probably should reevaluate how you spend your food budget. People always complain that they can't afford to eat healthy, that grass fed beef costs an extra buck or two at the market and yada, yada, yada. I see those same people drop $50 a night at the bar three nights a week. I promise you that if you spend one less night a week at the bar and instead invest that money into buying high quality, fresh, local foods you will see an improvement in your fitness. This is not rocket science. For those of you who are too lazy, incompetent or just not good with fire, try getting some pre-made paleo food from Paleo Brands.

Friday 2/26
Speed Day
After warm up, we are going to work on sprint acceleration before lifting.
Speed Drills -
Run these as hard as you can with total recovery in between sprints
5X10m
4X20m
6X30m
Jumping
6X6 High hurdle broad jumps
Lift -
Weighted lunges, 50m w/45lb dumbells in each hand
Front Squat 2-2-2-2-2 Using lighter weights, focus on being explosive.
Also, check out Crossfit Newcastle. They are an Australian Crossfit facility that has been working on a Rugby training protocol. Their approach is a bit different than mine, they go 4 days on, rest day, game day, rest day for one thing. Check it out, see what works best for you. I advise you to always question what you are doing, see if there's another way to do it better. Just because something is working for you now doesn't mean it can't be improved on. So stay tuned, I may be stealing some info from them in the future!

UCD Rugby Weekly Workout Challenge
"Linda" A.K.A 3 bars of death
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps, for time:
Deadlift 1.5 x BW
Bench Press BW
Clean 3/4 x BW
BW means body weight so if you weigh 180# your deadlift would be 270#, your bench 180# and your clean would be 135.
The 10-9-8-... rep scheme means you do 10 DLs, 10 BPs and 10 CLs then 9 DLs, 9 BPs, 9CLs, etc
Get a buddy and get it done, post time and weight to comments, scale weights down if necessary
Have fun on your break guys and try not to eat too much shitty food. If you can, try and use your extra holiday free time to focus on eating right. I recommend the Paleo Diet, click the link to get a good intro and for more info check out Robb Wolf's Blog. If you want to get really gnarly, try out the Zone Diet. Just doing the zone for a few weeks will give you a really good understanding of how to see food as a drug/fuel for optimum performance. If you are an absolute badass try applying Paleo friendly foods to a Zone style macro nutrient ratio along with extra protein and fat, this is the stuff of champions but it is a HUGE pain in the ass.
Have fun, good luck and go ruck yourselves
