The Grenoblois are back in practice

The Grenoble players resumed training Monday morning at the Stade Lesdiguières

Installed in their large meeting room, the "Rouge & Bleu" met on Monday morning for the start of the 2017-2018 season. On the program a first meeting with presentation of the conditioning preparation, new rules of life and especially the discovery of the new staff. If the players knew each other well (only the players under contract in 2016-2017 were present), it is not necessarily the case of the members of the staff: in addition to Stéphane Glas and Dewald Senekal, Grenoble rugby players also discovered their new physical conditioning coaches (Benjamin Simon-Cote and Johnny Claxton), new video analysts, etc.

On the menu of the day, a gentle recovery of the physical activity, with a session of musculation and a session of "prehab" (stretching, cladding, etc.), and two big exercises of cardio, to clean the hearts and evaluate the shape of each other: rowing machine and bicycle.

On Tuesday, Grenoble will be offered a somewhat similar program, with a prehab session and weight training, before going out on the field for a "conditioning" session and a bit of rugby. Under the blows of noon, the "Rouge & Bleu" will also undergo the hot sun of Isère!
