I wanted a free weights set for my birthday when i was about 14 and used them for about a year, working out in my bedroom, then joined a local gym, workedout there for about 2 and a half years, then joined my current gym.
Why I Love It:
The feeling after the workout, the muscle pump.
Looking fit. Feeling fit.
It helps me in my rugby.
How I Stay Motivated:
Not letting my team down on matchday because my physical fitness is not upto scratch.
And a long term goal to play at as high standard I can.

I play rugby for my local team at 2nd team level, my overall goal this season is to become a full time starter for the 1st team.
Goal (Long):
I want to become stronger and be bulkier.
Although I am heavy for my height, I lack bulk - this is something I want to work on.
I will do this by continuing my weights program that I have designed, using rugby related exercises.
I try and hit the gym 4 times a week atleast, but sometimes I am still sore from rugby games, I usually play 1 game a week,on Saturday for club.
I also have been doubted because of my size so this is what motivates me aswell as keeping my position in my team.
I guess I have good genetics. I do a 4 day split: chest/tris, back/bis, deadlift/squat, cardio/abs. Just eating a **** ton and lots and lots of milk! Have never used steroids, only creatine and protein.
haha! it's those minor tweaks that'll get you through those damn plateaus. :) about a lifting belt, only use one if you have a bad back and/or if you're lifting really heavy. avoid using the belt if you can EASILY squat 10-15 reps. and yes, a spotter is great for those heavy days too if you can get one.
and FYI: your hamstrings are generally weaker than your quads so busting out extra sets for your hammies will give you more of a balanced leg program. another great hamstring exercise to look into other than curls are romanian dead lifts and stiff legged dead lifts. WARNING: never go heavy on stiff legged dead lifts. bust out reps rather than weights so as to preserve and protect your lower back.
you'll be surprised about how different one exercise will feel depending on feet placement. :) About the Plyos... they are good for stability, strengthening, and warming up. I suggest you do a light plyo set first before heavy lifting and make heavy plyo sets for a different workout day.
i read what leg workout you did. If you wanna bulk up, you have to stay in the "bulking range". Namely 6-8 reps of heavy loads. By 6-8 I mean, you fatigue at 6-8 reps.try these out for a leg extension routine (everything 6-8reps). toes pointed up 2 sets, toes pointing out 2 sets, and toes pointing in 2 sets. so you target all your quads in different isolation points. hamstring curls also do 6-8 reps, 2 sets feet flexed, then 2 sets feet pointed.
Thanks for the compliment! Leg program.. it differs every time I go to the gym. A staple though is a regular squat, front squat, leg press, and hack squat. I go for quality of movement so I don't go heavy and force it. I also play a lot of soccer and go through conditioning drills once a week. A lot of sprints, runs, and plyometrics. I hope that helps. :)
No profile that I know of. I think he was either a wing or center. I know for a fact he dislocated his shoulder, broke his nose and had a number of stitches. Had one good gash on the eyebrow. One TOUGH sport! Next time I see him I'll have to ask.
Chances are you just tweaked it, slight sprain. As long as the swelling has subsided along with the pain, I'd just give it some time to heal. Nothing worst than going back out too early and doing some serious damage...I know FIRST HAND! I have a nephew that played rugby at Boston College. He loved it. Let me know if you have any questions. Good Luck!
Oh, yeah, I am also doing resistance training 3 times a week, then doing 3 days of cardio, but this week I've decided to change it up abit, I'm gonna do 3 steady state cardio and 3 sessions of HIIT, along with the resistance training.
Yeah I've got MSN, if you could add that'd be great.
