Day 1:
Bench Press 5x12
Incline Bench Press 3x12

i would move pull ups to day 3 since in day 3 you are doing back and biceps.
and the shoulder presses with raises to day 4 right after chest and before triceps exercises.
Since you are practicing rugby twice a week i would do squats once a week or if you want to do it twice you don't go heavy the second time, you could do calves twice a week 5-6 sets each time. you don't want to kill your legs with all the lifting and running.
going down with body fat too much will increase your risk of tendon and ligament injury especially in sports like rugby,

Young Bro, you are probably a beast. Man, to be young again.......:winkfinger:

I Like the big calories of the diet. I think you need to cut down on the gym time, I would go three days per week. As well, go heavy with mostly compound moves, one or two isolations per week, go heavy. l'd suggest some rest too, but with rugby that ain't gonna happen often.

Lots of push/pull splits to chose from on the board, with a leg day too.

Good luck......

In regards to the pull ups on day 3 and shoulders on day 4 i like having a few microtears using calisthenics or light weight going into it the next day. Makes me feel MORE fresh if that makes sense.

ill watch for the too low body fat risk also thanks

Yeah it is good to be young haha. If this routine gets to be too much with all of the Rugby training I'm gonna drop to 4 days a week being Sunday/Wednesday upper body and Monday/Thursday lower body. Hopefully I can hold my own though.


Thanks for the feedback keep it comin :coffee:
