Thanks to Jim Moran for sending this our way.
Cleaning out his grandmother's house, he discovered this 1970s training plan for the UCG Sigerson Cup team. It was a time in the GAA when players got away with doing as little or as much as they decided.
The number of times you do each exercise depends on yourself
Even the part at the end that encourages you to get someone to shout sprint is delightfully ancient.
It was around the same time that Eugene McGee was revolutionising football training by doing things like driving his Fiat Mirafiori to London in order to watch Arsenal training for a few days just before Christmas, 1976. McGee's open mindedness was a breath of fresh air to the GAA and it's interesting to see how far things have come since then.
GAA players have always been commended on their supreme fitness levels just like the time Graham Geraghty went on trial to Arsenal for a week and staff and players couldn't believe the excellent shape that the Meath man was in.
And while things change in terms of ways teams are notified of their training regimes they also stay the same because that first line could come from any manager even in this day and age.
As training is and should be an individual thing it is up to each individual to determine for himself how hard he works during a training session.
