ScrumTruk breaks 400kg barrier

Waratahs and Sydney University centre Tom Carter using 400kg on the ScrumTruk
New South Wales Waratahs rugby centre Tom Carter is claiming a new record for shunting the ScrumTruk. Yesterday Carter performed four reps with 400kg (880lbs) in strict form (starting with both hip and knee joints at 90 degrees to full lockout) from the No. 4 pin setting.

Tom Carter, who is recognised as one of the most dedicated trainers in Australian rugby, is chasing the poundages with heavy strength work in the lead-up to the start of the Super 14 competition in February.

It is a sign of changing times when we have backs, the show-ponies of rugby, out-grunting the forwards in the gym.
