I've been a little slow getting it going, but I've worked up a strength routine for the month of May:
1. Dips
2. The core exercise that Daniele Molmenti demonstrates at 3:45 of this video
3. Pullups
4. Another core exercise: hanging from the pullup bar and raising my legs straight out in front of me
5. Power cleans with a cinder block
This is a pretty short workout; I can get two sets of it done in under 20 minutes. I try to put the highest-quality effort into it as I can: I concentrate on good form and technique and try to explode through the three dynamic exercises.
And as I mentioned in last Saturday's post, that's how I want my in-the-boat workouts to be this month, too: short but high-quality. After two sets of the strength routine this morning, I went to the river and paddled for 60 minutes, doing eight intervals of two minutes on, 90 seconds off. It's the same workout I've done a couple of times previously this season, but with a shorter rest interval. It didn't really feel any more taxing than the previous workouts.
