Rugby · Blindside Flanker
CURVA Coach understands exactly what Blindside Flanker demands physically. Your programme is built around those demands — not a generic template.
Get my CoachThe four physical qualities that define performance at this position — and why they matter.
Blindside flankers are expected to make high-impact tackles and carry hard into contact throughout the game. The programme develops the strength and explosive power to win physical contests repeatedly over 80 minutes.
Competing at the breakdown requires strength, body position awareness and the ability to apply force quickly from low positions. The programme trains the specific movements and muscle groups that determine breakdown outcomes.
Blindside flankers cover enormous distance and work at every phase. Sustaining that intensity requires a well-developed aerobic engine alongside the strength work — neither is optional for this position.
Whether driving a maul, clearing a ruck or carrying through traffic, blindside flankers need exceptional lower body strength. Compound lower body work is the foundation of the programme.
A Blindside Flanker doesn't need the same programme as a Winger. CURVA Coach builds around the specific demands of your position — then layers in your schedule, your body and any niggles you're carrying.
Every two weeks, your coach reviews your progress and updates your programme. It adapts across pre-season, in-season and recovery so you're always doing the right work at the right time.
And if you have questions — about movement, nutrition, an injury niggle — your coach is available 24/7 in the app.
