What is the best way to get into shape for football?

How to get in shape for HS Rugby? diet, weights and cardio?

  • im 16 and in 10th grade. so i've never played rugby before but they're starting a team at my high school this year and i'm gonna play. im 6'0'' and 195 lbs (it fluxuates a lot from 190 to 200 within a day or two). i currently play water polo and im in good cardio shape from it but i can't run very fast. i lift weights for over an hour 4 to 5 days a week. I bench 205. squat 200 (because my legs aren't very flexible) and clean 200. i also do push jerk 8 reps of 160, db 3 way shoulder series (20 lb db), pushups, pullups, curls, pec flys, tricep pulldown, seated row etc. I've recently started doing shrugs (using around 70 or 75 lb dumbells to get traps to protect my neck in the scrums). what kind of weight training should i do to get in shape for rugby? i have a strong upper body (arms, chest and shoulders). I need to know how to strenghten my back, core, and legs (mainly thighs) i also need to get faster and more agile for dodging etc since i haven't done land sports seriously in the past (besides flag football and basketball in middle school). also what should i eat to maintain my weight (i wan't to stay strong and heavy) yet get more cut so i can be faster and more limber. also what stretches? thanks

  • Answer:

    Have a good diet by eating meat and drinking milk to create protein in the body because in rugby you will be hit many times so you want to be strong and prepared for those hard tackles. otherwise i would say your fitness is good but try and work harder and harder everyday so you don't tried in the game.
