This new post from Youtube creator and bodybuilder ‘Obi Vincent’ is actually not what you’d expect.

The new video shows Vincent undertaking a series of generic rugby drills with instructor Tom Lowe on a park in London.

The drills start with some speed and conditioning work as Vincent is made to spring from cone to cone before receiving a pass at high speed.

It soon ramps up as he is made to bear crawl with resistant bands pulling on him.

Lowe puts him through the wringer with more footwork drills integrated in with handling tests. We have to admit, he did very well for someone with no rugby experience. The bodybuilder kept up with the pace when put through his paces here.
