WATCH: Feel the pain of being flattened by 17-stone England rugby star

“After running, lifting, wrestling and ­climbing, sweat was pouring from my face”

At the top of his game, James, 28, trains six days a week, eats five high-protein meals a day and can bench press over 180kg.

The most I lift every day is an iPad Air and a cup of tea. So, using a Belkin Ease-Fit case, I strapped my iPhone 5S to my arm and, with the help of Sony’s sports headphones, put on some tunes to get me through the session.

After running, lifting, wrestling and ­climbing, sweat was pouring from my face but, using adidas’ latest ClimaWarm ­running kit, my body was sweat-free.

Then, just as I thought the session was coming to an end, I was put through the ­ultimate workout. Ten minutes of hell ­followed, with band sprints, lizard crawls and tug-o’-war which included trying to lift the 17st beast to his feet with a rope.
