“Main set”
Set A:
Alternate the following..
- Split Squats 8 reps each leg
- 3 second eccentric lower, 3 second isometric hold at the bottom
- 5 Powerful Broad Jumps
- The reasoning for going from split squat right into a broad jump is to take advantage of a post activation potentiation. In layman’s terms, after doing a heavy set of exercise, your ability to perform plyometrics improves. Meaning you can jump higher or farther.
- It is important for you or your swimmers to STICK the landing during this jumps and then quickly bounce of the floor into the next jump. You should not be pausing after each rep! Moving quick is more important than going far in this situation.
Repeat this three times. Rest for 1-2 minutes between each round.
Set B:
Complete the following as a circuit
- Push up plank :45 second hold
- TRX Rows 12 reps
- Single leg bridge :30 second hold each leg
Repeat this three times
Cool Down
If you swimming right after this, no need to warm down! If you swam before doing this workout, then take some time to do foam rolling or diaphragmatic breathing to help calm your nervous system down and let your body go into recovery mode.
