How To Do A Gavin Henson Workout

I'm going to talk to you about how to do a Gavin Henson workout. Now, he's a rugby player. Rugby players do very scientific training nowadays.

They didn't use to but now, it's very strict. Off season, you tend to do a lot of strength training, not too dissimilar to how a body builder would train. Then, as the off season kind of progresses, you go more into power training and conditioning training.

Finally, you do very sports specific training the last few weeks before the first game starts. What I'm going to show you today is one of the power and conditioning phases of training. I'm going to show you a clean and press.

This is really good because you get bigger and stronger, but you also burn more calories and get more power. It's an all-encompassing exercise. It's quite complicated.

I'm going to show you an easier version of it now and then we'll break it down into stages, one more time. The first to know is I did it dynamically. Before you do this and before you get to that level, it's best to do it really slowly to get that pattern right.

Now, I started off by doing a dead lift. So my feet started off beneath the bar, hands about shoulder width apart, and I stood up. That's a dead lift.

Next stage, the upright row, the upright row is like this - I come up. Next stage, I bend my knees and I flick the bar around. So I'm here and I flick, and the final stage, I basically do a shoulder press which is up in the air.

Because it's quite heavy and I'm quite tired by this stage, I want to do it dynamically so I bend my knees and I jump up. So again, I bend my knees and I jump up. I power my arms forward.

It's really driving up, so it's dead lift, an upright row, flick and a shoulder press with a jump. That's a cling and press. If you do these, it's a fantastic workout.

You get stronger. You get more powerful. It's very similar to how Gavin Henson would train.
