I am looking to see what everyone out there is doing for there dryland program or strength program. I work at a facility called IHPSWIM and we take a functional approach to our training. We are taking the intensity to the next level since taper is right around the corner, Here is what we did yesterday with the Fort Lauderdale aquatics of Boca Raton. Leg Circuit 3 x 24 squats 24 lunges 24 split jumps 12 jump squats (we do this twice through non - stop in under 2:30) That is a total of 6 sets - killer leg workout! We finished with some core work and some rope climbing. What are you guys doing out there or what questions do you have? Grif Fig Founder of IHPSWIM

  • One more brief comment...Rope climibing and rock climbing are about as good as it gets for dryland conditioning. Unfortunately, these activities aren't readily available most places due to insurance policies. Rope climbing forces the body to move in that natural primitive crawling pattern of L arm-R leg/R arm-L leg. Any time we can restore our basic movement patterns and build dynamics from there we are in the right direction.
