@@rileyfreeman9726 maybe but I still prefer to watch us play them then against Australia but that's my opinion especially since I now live in Australia we don't get the option to have kiwi commentators and the Aussie commentators hate the all blacks its the same when I watch the crusaders play
@@Swa1nTrain every game. new zealand wins then we will hear non stop whining for the rest of the year. it will either be "OMG the refs" excuse. New zealand pick them apart every game lol. Dont like the saltiness after the game because no one can actually admit anything. Unlike the aussies, i love rubbing it in their face
Ian foster probably want his incumbent players on a higher level to make selection easier and increase their performance level. Always good to have the upper hand. I'm guessing its only the group of last year who only recently joined pre season with their super rugby sides
Most of the pre season strength and conditioning of all black players is still managed by the AB coaching staff. It helps benchmark the required improvements over the next few months
No, rugby involves a lot of intense weight training outside of bench and squat. I think they just show only bench and squat cause thats all a majority of people care about
What a truly dull bunch of guys, I’ve benched 127kg and deadlifted 205kg, at a body weight of 74kg, so I understand lifting. No emotion or humour, all a bit sad
Don’t be surprised if the lions come to Aussie this year rumour is the South African tour might be off and France lions Aussie and maybe all blacks may play in. A four nations
@CLO187 yeah mate, I'm sure you know way more than the all blacks s&c coaches, im sure you've factored in everything, like injury prevention and past injuries limiting range of motion and it goes without saying you have access to the medical records of all the players like their coaches....
I find this interesting. Tu'ungafasi, Laumape and Frizzell are really the only impressive ones. Goes to show that rugby isn't played in the gym. Otherwise by all accounts Georgia would dominate
Why are these players training in an All Blacks camp? I thought they were at their clubs prepping fro Super Rugby Aotearoa. Is this the centrally contracted lot only? Seems like they're making sure certain players are in good shape going into the club season with all the competition they face ahead, even just getting a starting spot on their club team perhaps.
Bouncing the bar on your chest is bad form and cheating, youll have more growth out of controlling the movement and less likely to injure yourself, remember the aim is to break muscle tissue!! So halting in the middle for a second or two and then completing the reputation will help tear muscle fires, from what I watched is why athletes end up with long term muscle problems. . .
yeah i thought they were cheating a little with some of their bench reps by bouncing the bar off their chests, although i am not an expert on weight lifting. seems like its better to go lighter with good form than heavier and not really lift the weight properly.
Yeah They'd all squash me like a grape, but I agree some of them could have taken 20kg off and slowed it down and got more out of it. Odd when the PT is right there too, think he'd mention it..
In world class competition the edge is everything. Sometimes I feel the guys train too hard in the gym. You don’t see Cheslin Kolbe or Dan Carter absolutely killing a squat. They also don’t make the excuse for poor play on a poor gym workout either.
i assure you Cheslin Kolbe squats a lot, he is a bulky boy for his height. And as Daniel Carter himself writes in his autobiography, he had a 150kg bench. You can't be a great player these days without lifting a lot, and if anything the ABs lift less than several other teams already.
I only know they are some of the greatest athletes in the world so I assume they have some of the best trainers. I would say it's a stretch to judge them by a 3 minutes kind-amatorial video
what the fuuuu! all of them are shit strong! even the backs, small guys, no wonder they all look so ripped all the time. I'm Capetonian so I've never seen these guys, but I've been to the pools near the Stormers' stadium on a week day and the team comes around to the pools certain times of the week and they swim a certain amount of lengths as part of their training too, but I reckon those are just backs, cos they didn't have the whole team there... crazy!
breathing patterns..neck stability as well as training with a belt....this is embarrassing how non functional this video is....thoughts would be welcome
Laumape blows all of them out of the water on the BP. though Frizzell looked like he had lots of juice left in the tank, but did maybe 20 or 40 kgs less
Up for debate but people that do athletics etc swear by partial squats to have the strongest crossover to their sport (running, jumping etc). I prefer full depth but a squat for athletic purposes across most sports is partial
I heard somewhere that's because of a match at the beginning of the XX century. A journalist miswrote "They are all blacks" instead of "They are all backs" refering to the fact all the players were so fast that you could not work out who were the backs and who were the forwards
God they look unfit and weak. Thought the ABs would have recovered from the BATTERING we gave them in the RWC by now. Such a shame really. Used to be a good rugby nation.
@@Tom-fl3dp I couldn’t care less about that. The fact that not squatting to depth greatly increases the chance for ligament and muscle tears in the legs, particularly the knees and ankles (see Teddy Bridgewater), of contact sports athletes is what concerns me. I’ve made a decent career out of pointing out and fixing the abject failure of University graduate conditioning coaches, and I will continue to do it. Just a shame that these guys are not provided with better guidance on what amounts to be literally the most important exercise for pure athleticism that they will do off the field.
@@fluffstuffpootiebean1688 correlation doesn’t equal causation. There’s a thousand reasons injury could happen. They’re squatting to get lower body stimulus for their sport. All that’s required is being great at the sport, plenty of players don’t even squat.
@@Tom-fl3dp Most injuries on the field are because of muscular imbalances developed in the gym. This is what I’m talking about! Look into the injury ratio of Olympic lifters whose entire sport is lifting heavy weights as efficiently as possible...it’s next to nil! So what’s the harm of training properly in the gym? Literally could save THOUSANDS of tendons a year, and that’s not an exaggeration. The poor movement patterns start in Highschool and get worse as they progress through their athletic careers, culminating often times in a career changing injury. But university graduate conditioning coaches will sit there with a straight face and tell you that a squat above 90 degrees isn’t only “good enough” for the sport, but that it’s actually healthier for the knees. Gtfo! I’d rather have an athlete that can squat 150kg to full rom than one that can squat 250kg above parallel because he will possess an increased amount of athleticism and injury resistance, and injury resistance often times is what will separate the elite from someone who has the potential to be elite, but spends all their time under the knife.
