The Rugby Muscle Podcast

I’m a D2 Rugby player and this dude knows his stuff. As a prop I constantly flip between lifting heavy weights or should I do cardio? I forget which episode it was but he said ‘ If you have a lot of power but don’t have good cardio, you won’t be able to show your power due to being tired’ Good listen

As a forward, I have an almost religious devotion to Mike Cron. The legendary scrum master espouses constant improvement in learning. That’s what you get with this wonderful podcast. TJ brings a diverse group of people to the pod to discuss everything from ultra marathons to boxing and the impacts they can have on rugby. Also, the episodes are about as long as my gym session, so I’ll throw it on when I’m warming up. By the time TJ is wrapping up with his guest, I’m wrapping up and hitting the protein shake and the post workout mix. As a fan of first principals, breaking things down to its base parts and figuring out how they work, this introduces new concepts that some of us players may never think of. So if you’re itching to grow any aspect of your game, give this a listen

The Rugby Muscle Podcast is a delight for someone who has just recently become a fan of rugby or a long time player of the game. I find The Rugby Muscle Podcast especially insightful for training methodology. This podcast has left a permanent mark of how I view training. Thanks TJ for you commitment producing great content.

Long time listener here finally got me a fancy iPhone to leave proper review. TJ is great coach and has a load of knowledge. I’ve been a client of his since December and have lost 30lbs mostly body fat. My performance on the pitch has been noticed greatly. Rugby is a lot more fun now that I’ve got a hold on my fitness I’m able to focus on playing and not breathing.
