The 2015 Rugby World Cup takes place in England this fall, and Wales, the fifth ranked team in the world is in serious training camp mode ahead of the sport’s most prestigious competition. Anyone with even a passing interest in the sport knows the dudes who play at the international level are complete beasts. Right now the squad is in the middle of a 15-day mini-camp in the Swiss Alps where they are undergoing a rigorous strength and conditioning regime at high altitude.

Our friends at Wales Online filmed a few clips of the drills their country’s finest are going through. Check them out, the first being some explosive bench press work:

Some more benching, this time using the close-grip technique (if you look in the background, there seems to be some serious circuit training in action):
