Front squats and trap bar deadlifts are the two best big compound movements for quad growth.
Quote by -James Haskell
I'm all about helping people understand more about exercise in general and more specifically on occasion, about certain key parts of their body and physique.
Quote by -James Haskell
Although the TV commercials will try and have you believe otherwise, there is nothing good about breakfast cereal. No matter how 'low fat' or 'high in fibre' the box tells you it is, ditching the high sugar cereals is the first step you need to take towards a better breakfast.
Quote by -James Haskell
Good nutrition must be at the core of all that you do training and health wise.
Quote by -James Haskell
In order to pack on the most amount of muscle from your training, you need to train specifically for hypertrophy.
Quote by -James Haskell
At some point, the power side of the game has to peak, players can't get much bigger. Guys will be doing more footwork and explosive-speed stuff.
Quote by -James Haskell
Going to a final and winning is the best thing in life, and it makes rugby no longer a job. It makes it fun.
Quote by -James Haskell
Shooting's not actually a bad place to take a girl on a date, unbelievably.
Quote by -James Haskell
I like my boxing and jiu jitsu and that kind of stuff and one thing I always enjoyed from an early age was shooting. My godfather got me into it. It started with airguns and shotguns and that kind of stuff.
Quote by -James Haskell
Do I respect my competition? Yeah. Do I always think that I could do a better job? Of course.
Quote by -James Haskell
When I am doing something I give it 100 per cent. I work on it, do it and go onto the next thing.
Quote by -James Haskell
I was diagnosed with ADD when I was 14. Weirdly enough, I then learnt, through doing different things, to concentrate.
Quote by -James Haskell
It was so important to have stuff outside of rugby so you have a life balance. I took a lot of criticism for that earlier in my career and thank God I ignored what everyone else said and did what I was always going to do.
Quote by -James Haskell
In rugby I think it is good to have a bit of a persona, a bit of a character because we are one of the last things that isn't necessarily controlled.
Quote by -James Haskell
When I started my professional rugby career, in 2002, there was one guy filming training if you were lucky.
Quote by -James Haskell
When I was about 15, I learnt that training hard doesn't get easier, you just learn to push harder. That's a powerful mentality to master.
Quote by -James Haskell
In reality, rugby is finite and unpredictable, so players need to have skills off the pitch too.
Quote by -James Haskell
A lot of people make the error of thinking rugby is going to last forever and they need to quickly discover that that isn't the case.
Quote by -James Haskell
I think as a professional sportsman you're aware that your time is limited.
Quote by -James Haskell
I've lost count of the times I've been asked what I do for a living. When I say rugby people say: 'Yes, but what's your other job?'
Quote by -James Haskell
To stay at the elite end of professional sport you need to show an awful lot of dedication.
Quote by -James Haskell
Matches aren't won on the training field and there is no point flogging experienced campaigners unnecessarily.
Quote by -James Haskell
As a player you have to look after your body because no one else will. I'd rather be proactive than kowtow to everyone and be injured all the time.
Quote by -James Haskell
As a schoolboy I can recall playing three games a week and not even feeling it.
Quote by -James Haskell
All players want nice things to be said and written about them and you have to take the reverse in equal measure.
Quote by -James Haskell
I do not want to gain a reputation for lacking discipline because I always look to play within the laws.
Quote by -James Haskell
It doesn't matter if you've got the best team in the world, you can't play rugby on your own try-line.
Quote by -James Haskell
It's one thing to get beaten by a side who are a lot better than you, it's quite another to know you've thrown victory away in a game you should have won.
Quote by -James Haskell
Trust me, Stade is not a comfortable place to be if you're losing, regardless of the venue.
Quote by -James Haskell
To be the best in the Heineken Cup or the Top 14 you've got to win home and away.
Quote by -James Haskell
My favourite Heineken Cup memory as a player was undoubtedly sharing in Wasps' final triumph in 2007.
Quote by -James Haskell
Going to Stade Francais will not just make me a better player but make me a better player for England.
Quote by -James Haskell
In my limited experience, you have to make your own decisions in life and experience things for yourself.
Quote by -James Haskell
At most grounds you're not particularly conscious of the crowd but in Cardiff, with the roof closed against a good Welsh team, the noise is impossible to ignore. It can be loud enough to put you off your game and the Welsh undoubtedly possess some of the most passionate fans in the world.
Quote by -James Haskell
If your form dips as a back-row forward, it is best to address the areas you know you're going to be heavily involved in.
Quote by -James Haskell
If anyone out there is mildly curious about rugby, I'd recommend a weekend spent watching the Six Nations. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Quote by -James Haskell
I reckon every player feels much the same on the eve of a Six Nations championship. We all want to finish top, win the title and do our respective countries proud in the process. We're also aware a lot of other people are seeking precisely the same thing. Pessimism and optimism collide like two ferrets in a sack.
