Super functional training develops power in a very sports specific manner, preparing the body to deal with the demands of rugby.

Super Functional training is a combination of high intensity resistance training followed by a dynamic movement specific to rugby. It allows you to recruit muscle via the initial resistance exercise and apply that 'excited' muscle to a fast movement such as sprinting. A classic example is resisted sprinting with the Power Speed Resistor followed by an un-resisted sprint.

Pairing a resistance exercise such as a front squat with a sprint start is an example

This is an advanced form of training and must be seen as the 'ultimate progression.' The dynamic rugby specific movement must be paired with a heavy resistance exercise that uses similar muscles and movement patterns.

Examine the muscles and movement pattern of a resistance exercise and pair that with a similar movement that relates to rugby

This method of training, also known as complex training, has proven to be more effective than conventional training methods.
