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

    That is exactly what a 3 pt plank is - when in position you lift the arm up so it is parallel to the floor. The key to doing this correctly is to not turn the hips up. Keep the hips straight without letting them rotate while the arm is off the ground. It is an advanced exercise but is an example of how you can take a simple exercise and really turn up the intensity.
