Weight Training @ the School Gym

Dear Gentlemen of Rugby,

We are vey fortunate to secure the right to use the school gym so that we can beef up and become bigger and stronger for the upcoming B Division and C Division Tournament. We had our first extra weights training session last week and everyone felt good after their workout. So let's build on this feel-good feeling! As the teachers have said, weight training is purely voluntary, but if you are serious about rugby, you must be serious about lifting some heavy weights!

Just a couple of reminders:

Mr Singh will open up the gym at 3.30pm sharp for the rugby players to use on Mondays and Wednesdays. Players can come in anytime from 3.30pm onwards. Gym closes at 6pm. This staggered timing is to prevent over-crowding at the gym.

All players wishing to use the gym must be properly attired: Players must be in T-Shirt, Shorts and Shoes. No Bare-Bodied Training in the gym, unless you are Arnold Schwarnegger or Ronnie Coleman or the All-Blacks or the South Africans Springboks. No Training in School Uniform. School rules as in the Praise & Grace handbook applies to all gym users.

Players, before the start of training, are to sign-in at the "Rugby Players Weight Training Attendance" file. This is to help the teachers to monitor which players are interested in becoming GIANTS on the rugby field.

Do the following weights routine: Machine Chest Press (5 Sets), Lat Pulldown (5 Sets), Leg Press (5 Sets), Leg Extension (5 Sets), Squats (5 Sets), Bench Row (5 Sets), Bicep Curls (5 Sets)

Players, once you are done with your weights training, you are to sign out at the "Rugby Players Weight Training Attendance" file.

Any problems, call Mr Singh (94505434).....or just shout across the weights room as he will be there as he will be joining you guys for weights training as well.
