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

    I believe rope climbing is one of the most effective dryland exercises. It involves the same muscles that we "pull" with in swimming and involves rotation during each pull when one hand crosses over the other as you climb the rope. One of the most important aspects of this exercise is that the spine must remain secure and stable for someone to use their lats and climb up the rope - basically, the core work in this exercise is tremendous.
