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

  • Not exactly but see if this makes sense: 1) Get in a standard plank (toes and elbows) 2) Lift one arm up and point it forward (like superman) :D Tada! 3 point plank! Now where it gets fun is if you lift one foot and point it (diagonal from the arm pointing forward) and make a 2 point plank! I get the three point plank - but your arm is then pointing forward - level with your head and horizontal (parallel) to the floor.. OK - great. How do you get it to be overhead? Are we talking just a few degrees from the horizontal?
