Main Set Monday - FISTS!

Posted by Glenn Mills on Jul 03, 2012 09:14AM (2,421 views)

Swimming with fists gets you craving for a larger surface area. That's actually the point.

Pretty simple drill that taxes your desire for control (keeping fists in fists). You'll be tempted to open them up, but do yourself a favor and keep them tight until it's time to open the hands. The reward will be worth it.

Main Set (short course yards):
- 12 x 100 on 1:30
- These are done as four sets of three 100's. #1 is all fists. #2 is 50 fists, 50 swim. #3 is regular swim.

The 3rd 100 of each should feel wonderful if you've done this correctly.
