I’m a D2 Rugby player and this dude knows his stuff. As a prop I constantly flip between lifting heavy weights or should I do cardio? I forget which episode it was but he said ‘ If you have a lot of power but don’t have good cardio, you won’t be able to show your power due to being tired’ Good...Read full review »

TJ has been a great source of information to help me clear through the crap as I’m returning to Rugby after a long time off. Clear cut, simple and effective information to be put into practice straight away and buckets of cold water to keep you on track and away from stupid distractions. He’s got...Read full review »

As always informative and direct! No B.S, been following tj since day one, and he’s gone from strength to strength. The guests are always second to none 👊 Luke S.Wales.

As a forward, I have an almost religious devotion to Mike Cron. The legendary scrum master espouses constant improvement in learning. That’s what you get with this wonderful podcast. TJ brings a diverse group of people to the pod to discuss everything from ultra marathons to boxing and the...Read full review »

The Rugby Muscle Podcast is a delight for someone who has just recently become a fan of rugby or a long time player of the game. I find The Rugby Muscle Podcast especially insightful for training methodology. This podcast has left a permanent mark of how I view training. Thanks TJ for you...Read full review »

Long time listener here finally got me a fancy iPhone to leave proper review. TJ is great coach and has a load of knowledge. I’ve been a client of his since December and have lost 30lbs mostly body fat. My performance on the pitch has been noticed greatly. Rugby is a lot more fun now that I’ve...Read full review »

I've worked with TJ multiple times over the last few years on various different goals. Always find myself coming back listening to his content and picking up more tips, tricks and interesting views on fitness and rugby. Keep up the good work mate .Read full review »

Started listening to gain as much information as I can to help me prepare for rehab from a microdiscectomy I’m due to have in the coming months. This has helped me learn from my mistakes that probably brought round my current injury, teaching about more appropriate exercises in and out of season,...Read full review »

Deserves way more recognition for how hard he works and the information he puts out is always spot on. wouldn’t have it any other way

This lockdown has made me miss code so much and I’m chomping at the bit to play again and be a better player. There’s plenty of quality content around improving athleticism for American football, MMA, basketball etc which is helpful to a degree but now with Rugby Muscle I have a quality source...Read full review »

The topics here are sometimes quite a revelation !! A good one for those wanting to see progress in their training.

Really got into the rugby Muscle podcasts, beneficial for Rugby specific but also gives great tips and advice for those not playing rugby for health, fitness and mindset development.

Actually teaches athletic workouts to prepare you body!!!
Gagegib15 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/06/20
A great pdocast that is an incredible resource for any rugby player, no matter your level. Whether its the solo-episodes full of knowledge bombs and hard truths, or the Q and A's featuring questions from real rugby players, or the awesome Guests, every episode will teach you something new to...Read full review »

Really great easily digestible podcast. TJ cuts through fitness industry nonsense and teaches principles that can implemented in a way that works for each individual. Keep it up!

I’m not a rugby player never will be... but this podcast is a game changer for anyone who is natural and wants to build muscle or lose fat! I listen to this during my commute to work in the car! Boom!
Lukejones97 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/15/20
This is the best Rugby/ Fitness Pod Cast around. Clear, informative and and most importantly easy to understand, so it’s not hard to apply certain things to my approach. TJ seems like a top bloke, great work. PS loving the biscuit base reference.
19Doyle84 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/08/20
TJ does a good job of laying out his topic and goes through the obvious and not so obvious (rambles a bit but not that bad). He states the big point then expands on it. Give it a listen and you’ll come back for the next one.
Boar2.0 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/07/20
As a former player, and now tactical athlete I find the information extremely valuable. While I no longer need to make crushing tackles (well almost never) strength, mobility, and recovery are still prominent factors in my daily life. The podcast covers all of these and more!
Mike Clancy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/07/20
First of all I just want to say it’s a refreshing to find a podcast that is aimed at Amateur rugby player not aimed at the Pros like most resources available. TJ actively advises you take in account your work life balance, kids etc. To help you create a routine you will stick to. As a 33 year old...Read full review »

Highly recommend I’ve listened to this podcast since January when I made the decision to start playing again after 13 years out (I’m 33). The weekly information and other resources have really helped me transform myself physically through rugby specific advice which you don’t get from other...Read full review »
Matt Scahill via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/24/20
Easily one of the most informative podcasts about rugby and gym based topics around, alongside being very entertaining! TJ pitches the level perfectly with giving you sound scientific reasoning without coming across patronising or losing you within the detail. 10/10 would recommend.

Great content
Bez103 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/22/20
The best way to get information and helpful advice in the subject. He’s very knowledgeable and great at explaining in depth how to achieve rugby/exercise goals.
O'Leary1st via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/20
I’m a former player and have started competitive powerlifting. This podcast is great at bridging power/strength training with athletic training. Looking forward to more podcasts in the future
DCBlkMan320 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/18/20
Podcast gives great info and has given me confidence with my training that I am doing the right thing and seeing progress. Top guy and great guests, top top info!!

A great podcast around rugby and performance with a fresh and forward-thinking outlook on preparation!

Very knowledgeable host, gives you all the information you need for your S&C sessions
Yorkie146 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/08/20
TJ is very skilled at communicating how to be as effective as possible during training sessions. In these podcasts I have found he’s able to cut out the typical fitness junk and noise and gives you the tools to dial in your routine and goals.
BusbyRohr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/20
Been chasing a podcast that encompasses all the nutrition, fitness and self-improvement aspects but with a major focus on rugby, rugby muscle definitely fulfils this wish. Would definitely recommend to any aspiring footy player that wants to improve on their game and just general overall health....Read full review »

I have been listening for 3 weeks now and playing a bit of catch up, this is one of my go to day to day podcasts. Easy to listen to, and I feel like I am part of the conversations. I have been getting away from heavy (powerlifting) barbell movements aside from lighter technical oly, and leaning...Read full review »
DougSquats505 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/29/20
Listening through some more recent and older episodes, I can say as a rugby player this is the most informative. It’s not just opinions from the podcasters themselves, they’re not afraid to bring in experts to either support or contradict their opinions. Great listening and extremely enjoyable,...Read full review »

I just found out about this podcast today and after listening to this, I thought it was great. They covered a lot things and Marie Spano shared a lot of information and talked about the science behind it. I was able to check out this macronutrient that he mention in the podcast and can’t wait to...Read full review »

I haven’t really found a podcast which compares for direct and specific rugby training. Recommended to a number of people, and would also suggest listening to a lot of the old episodes as there’s a bunch of great info in there to help people adjust their training for the better. But if you’re...Read full review »
benhodgson via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/27/20
Really useful podcast which I would recommend for all rugby players, found this podcast recently during lockdown and have learned a ton of now info that has allowed me to adjust my training for the better. Couldn’t recommend enough for any players looking to improve their game!
Jamie7623 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/10/20
I have worked with TJ for a few years now, and I’ve never found someone else who has as much good training information as him, whether it’s conditioning, strength, or diet. He brings all this knowledge to his podcasts. If you’re serious about being a better rugby player, or even just want to...Read full review »
Drummerdude1893 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/20
TJ and his mates and many guests are really interesting and always keen to discuss topics raised by the listeners. Topics are always interesting and easily applied to your own development as a rugby player. Really worth a listen for anyone who likes lifting weight and playing rugby! Cheers TJ
Finn556 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/28/20
When I found the rugby muscle podcast I was excited to have found a rugby specific podcast that discussed professional play alongside training tips for amateur players. Unfortunately after subscribing to the newsletter and listening to further podcast, I have found TJ to be a very narcissistic...Read full review »

seamusboi via Apple Podcasts · Bahrain · 03/12/20
Really Love this show as you learn great information, not only based on rugby. Just wondered if you could do a podcast on the best things you can do in the gym to transfer over the BJJ. I went to my first session this week and I know for now it’s more about learning everything, technique wise,...Read full review »

I’m just coming back to re-review the podcast because I approve of picking Wales to beat S. Africa. Still awesome and helpful information presented in an entertaining way.
