Rugbydump Training: Using Medicine Balls To Develop Ruck Power

BY tjjankowski  ·  Wednesday May 25, 2016

Today we’re joined by resident Rugbydump Academy S&C Coach TJ Jankowski in a video to demonstrate how to develop great rucking power with the benefit of Medicine Ball Throws.

Developing ruck power is not going to be done by using traditional gym movements.

Sure you can develop a strong body, but that isn’t enough, we need to teach it to be powerful in certain positions. Today, we’ll look at the ruck.

Just make sure you ok it with your gym and use a ball that wont break on you – we’re not responsible for anyone getting kicked out of their gym 😉

Did you guys find this video helpful? Will you add this into your programme?
