@jj80:
"and I do need to do the aerobic stuff"
Why?
Is it because your workout is half arsed?
No, I just have a very slow and efficient metabolism.
For me to reach a calorie deficit without aerobic exercise I have to eat about 2000 calories (at 105kg bodyweight), which doesn't let me have much protein. My entire family is the same (tall, light builds and we barely have to eat to maintain our weight).
Maybe try circuit training with higher reps and giant sets.
If your lower body workouts have to be less intense, then that may be the workout to up the rep count and drop the rest time.
The stimulus provided by having different rep ranges during the week may trigger improved hypertrophy. I don't know for sure though, it's just a hunch I've got. It's just the vibe of the thing lol.
You could be onto something.
The lower body does need more work compared to the upper.
Working in the fifteen to twenty rep world does biuld strength and also gives the endocrine system and good work over.
Higher rep training - i.e 15-20+ is great for muscle endurance training but for building strength and muscle not great.

Do you have any opinions for rep ranges that worked for you rugby? Seems like you have more exp than some willing to throw their opinions into the debate
Like
2-4 strength
8-12 hypertrophy
etc.
Tried 20 rep squats Joel?
Tell me if that's only great for endurance.
