Real results Real people awards goes to Rob Bentham. After suffering a serious knee injury whilst playing rugby Rob underwent surgery to repair his knee. With a 12 month lay off from Rugby Rob switched his focus to building himself up physically to meet the demands of playing rugby at a very high level.
Robs competitiveness and determination switched to the gym…
We started training with Rob between 2/3 times a week. Training is limited due to his lower body rehab so sessions are all upper body based incorporating strength and hypertrophy training. As well as his training at Bodypro Rob completes his rehab x2/3 a week.
Since starting training at Bodypro Rob has SMASHED his goals increasing his muscle mass by 17kg and maintained his body fat at 15%.
Strength is an important park of playing rugby at a high level and Rob has significantly increased his one rep max scores as well as increasing his muscle mass.
Bench press 1rm has increased from 87.5kg to 110kg that’s a massive 22kg difference.
Saddle grip chin 1rm (inc BW) up from 95.2kg to 127.5kg that’s an even bigger 32.3kg difference.
Quote from Rob
“When I first started at Bodypro, I was on crutches and unable to bend my knee and yet Ben still managed to accommodate me and create an enjoyable but challenging session. This really speaks volumes for how well Bodypro can adapt to your needs. I had struggled with weight and muscle gain in the past due to poor diet and training incorrectly. Ben helped me achieve this through books, exercises and intricate details about how much I should be eating and what I should be eating. Most importantly he regularly checked up on where I was up to with my weight and muscle gain. Ben not only managed to help me achieve this vital goal but also massively helped me improve my sleep, diet and general recovery”.
“I would say that the way Ben has managed me throughout this injury has played a crucial role in getting through this setback and turning it into a positive. Thanks Ben”
Quote from his trainer Ben
“I think Rob needs a massive amount of praise for taking the negative of being injured into a positive. To refocus and use the time away from Rugby to increase his strength and size shows maturity and mental strength. Well done Rob keep up the good work”.
Well done Rob keep up the good work.
