Hey everyone, I'm new to this site but not new to training. I have been lifting weights off and on since I was 15 (25 now). I did most of my lifting while I was in the Marine Corps and focused more on the typical top heavy military lifting(chest shoulders arms). Since I left the Corps in 2006 I started playing Rugby for the college I am going to. The work outs have totally changed my approach to weight training as more of a functional fitness rather than how big my biceps are. That said, I sadly have gained some excess weight other the last couple years and am looking to cut that BF% down and add strength and endurance for this coming season of rugby. Here is what I have come up with for a work out regiment:
1st 6 weeks:

Back Squat 3x10
BB Flat Bench 3x10
BB Bent Row 3x10

Following this last week our pre-season conditioning will begin. The BB workouts will change randomly with DB. All the lifts progress every week by 1 rep max % so the last couple weeks before pre-season I am at 90% of starting max. Any thoughts?
