Hey {{First_Name|mate}},
Here’s something players often miss:
The same qualities that improve lineout lifting also improve contact performance.
Think about what happens in contact
You need to:
Drop your hips
Drive through the floor
Transfer force into the opponent
That’s the same hip-to-upper-body force transfer used in:
Cleans
High pulls
Med ball throws
That’s why these movements don’t just help you lift higher — they help you:
Win collisions
Stay dominant through contact
Generate force quickly
Did you miss last weeks…
Don’t worry if you missed last weeks email. Here’s where you can find it 👇 Lineout Power Doesn’t Start Overhead
Where players get stuck
They isolate muscles instead of training movement patterns.
Strong shoulders don’t save you if your hips are slow.
Strong arms don’t help if your force never gets off the floor.
Next week, I’ll show you what this should actually look like inside a rugby training week — without adding extra junk volume.
Train like a player,
