Rugby union in-season programme.
This programme is designed to take the guess work out of your training each week so you can focus on playing and performing each week.
Designed by Townsend Strength who has played semiprofessional rugby union for over 8 years. Coached professional rugby union and league players for many years.
After suffering 2 ACL injuries, 3 ACJ, Hamstring tears and many more injuries. we know what it takes to get you through the season to perform well and little tips and tricks form various physio who we have worked with.
The backs programme focuses more on single leg work and speed where as the forwards programme is designed to deal with the demands of the scrum work.
