Gym work
Why do a lot of our guys look like they haven’t seen the inside of the gym ? When looking at some the other teams they look bulked than us … i know we have some young guys but we just look thin and get pushed around . No body shaming

Re: Gym work
Look at the difference between Riley Thilthorpe and Max King
Or even more comparable the difference between Max and Ben King
Even Marshall who is big has no muscle definition

Re: Gym work
It's obvious that the next KPF we look at needs to have Viking ancestry
Or...must be related to the GTrain

Re: Gym work
Feels pretty straightforward. I am sure they are all doing some strength work (feels like half of the saints socials videos show them in the gym), but for better or worse the last few years we have been more focused on being the fittest team in the comp, so doing more endurance than out and out strength.

Re: Gym work
We are not a bad running side as a work in progress, but as soon as the rain started pelting down in sheets I knew we were cooked.

Re: Gym work
What a load of bulls***.
An effective weights program conducted by a sports scientist and skilled trainers, in an elite training environment to full time athletes and it “does nothing for some blokes”?
Visual results vary on individuals, also noting specific programs per player, but our resident expert informs us it does nothing for some blokes.

Re: Gym work
You can tell players who hit the gym
You can tell players who run hard
You can tell players who diet well
2 examples
Jake Stringer does not
Darcy Wilson does
Just look at the evidence- their body shape

Re: Gym work
I remember at the time that this should not have been a free kick. What's Ray supposed to do? Selwood is on his knees FFS. Ray did everything right. got down low and protected his head.
The only reason that was high contact was because of the actions of Selwood.

Re: Gym work
When RTB joined us...according to Steele, Ross told him he needed to be an elite runner or something.
Steele says he lost 10 kg in Ross' first preseason.
TEN KILOS
That's muscle.
I'll try to find the article.
Ross was all about endurance

Re: Gym work
Jack Steele looked a lot stronger in 2022
He looks thinner now than when he was drafted at age 18
