I have been weighed at 96 kilos at the beginning of a hard endurance training session run by a former Para PTI.

At the end I was 91.5 kilos.

The day after, following fluid replacement, I was back to 96.

Over 6 months training hard 6 days a week, my weight stayed the same but my body fat reduced considerably, and the amount of muscle increased.

Hopefully something similar will,take place with the players over the off season.

i had a week at that army base when i was in the cadets

based on the fact that warm weather
1. makes em soft........toughen em up in the cold i say.
2. the drop back to cold weather from warm makes them injury prone, especially ham string.

maybe a few were carrying niggles at the start of the season?? hence the poor starts.

The warm weather training gives them longer days to do more quality work especially with the ball, not sure where the notion comes from regards hamstring injuries but any conditioner worth their salt will ensure this does not happen.

The main problem regards the camps has been the coaching and quality of the time.

According to the other forum a certain individual rang in sick on his 3rd day back at training. Mentioning no names.

That's a fact is it?





I'm sure training hard all day in the hot sun makes you soft.
