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

    Another alternative which we use is a good old peg climbing board but those are not frequently availible either. You can buy a 1.5" inch manilla rope about 15 ft in length and toss it over a pull up bar. It gives you 7.5 ft" of length on each side. From there you can perform pull - ups on the rope with a staggerred hand position. This is not as beneficial as the rope climb because you end up doing have the reps with one arm over the top and then you switch. When you climb the rope you will incorporate more rotation as you pull.
