20 Minute Full Body

Heres a 20 minute circuit that will burn fat, build muscle and kick up some cardio. Also attached below is a video of how to perform the muscle snatch.

Start clock, go as long as you can for 20 minutes. Record your sets:

* Speed rope - 100 revolutions
* 10 Air Squats
* 10 Muscle Snatch - (you can use 45lb bar or, 65lb up to 95lb)
Repeat

Each set of muscle snatches, drop reps, 10-9-8-7-6-5 then up 6-7-8-9-10
You may not get as many sets in to move up the scale on snatches within the 20 minute period. Just remember to do a weight that you can press and perform with proper form. If you do complete 11 sets, then keep going till time runs out.

Firefighter Gone Bad

During this years annual SCSFA Conference we had morning PT. Here's one of the sessions:

Warmup with the dynamic stretch from SCFFIT video http://vimeo.com/68206250

FFGB:  there are 5 stations. FF performs as many reps as possible at that station for 1 min, then moves to the next station. This continues for the 5 stations (6 min total). Then 1 min rest. Repeat this 2 more times. Total of 3 sets of 5-1min stations. Cool down static stretching at conclusion.

Station 1: Tire Strikes (horizontal vent simulation) - 1 min

Station 2: Step Ups (24" inch box or bench) - 1 min

Station 3: Battle Hose (2 one inch and 3/4 hoses) - 1 min

Station 4: Sumo Deadlift Highpull (25lb kettle bell or dumbell) - 1 min


Station 5: Forward drag, backward drag, rope pull
( use 45lb rolled LDH attached to 75' of rope, run with a forward drag-weight behind you holdin rope at 40' mark, turn at 100 foot mark an wrap rope around waist quickly and drag backwards-rope at end. This way you get back with 70 feet of rope left and weight that far off, start pulling weight to you-seated or standing. Repeat. 1 min


Move from station to station as quick as possible since clock doesn't stop on the minute. You just move each minute till all 5 stations are complete then rest 1 min. The weights can be adjusted to individual preference and abilities. Make it as hard or easy as you need to. Just try to keep moving throughout entire circuit for 3 sets.
