PK is great strength coach because he is a great coach. He understands more than just the physical component of training.

yeah what "question?" said
Question? posted October 30 at 8:11am.
Karkoska has been the strength coach to some of the greatest sprinters in history... Cielo, Bousquet, Hawke, Pilczuk, Bovell, Lundquist, Puninski and many more. How is this guy not the most respected strength coach. Shouldn't we be doing videos on him? Gambetta...are you serious?

Still the original and the best! We need more AU workouts.
The chains that they are working on are a really good help for their swimming technique. It helps your core stability, and is also good for when you need to balance on the blocks, because I am of balance sometimes. I think this would be very good for a dryland workout for when I get older, but for now I am going to stay with the basics. Well done you guys!
The chains are excellent for integrating stabilization or balance training component with the variety of phasic limb movements necessary for swimmers. It makes sense for swimmers who need whole body exercises and not the traditional strength to power paradigm.
It's to bad theres not a video of these guys doing the TRX stuff for the first time. It's always hilarious to watch people do the bands for the first time.

How about the other 80% of the Auburn team? What do they do because I know they do not do this!

sorry for being more interested in the swimming aspect of the sport and wanting to watch what i do. i dont need to be "spoon fed," nor am i saying to not have drylands at all, i just think the dry lands are getting too boring and i want to see some fast, interesting sets. Plus there are way too many auburn videos up here and, maybe cuz im a distance swimmer, id rather see sets than strength training .

Monkey, you are right about everything except you are the ugly one. PK is still awesome!

Mr. A, since you do not even have the balls for a fake name. What you consider modified, I would call a lack of motivation. Everyone has land, everyone here mostly likely has some kind of pool time. The real problem here is your lack of creativity. You want someone to hand you the magic wand. Think outside the box. And just maybe, you might learn something new. Stop expecting to be spoon feed swimming knowledge.
PK is awesome! But he is still ugly!

I dont know about everyone else, but i want to see some more actual swimming sets. Its interesting see what these elite level swimmers do to train outside the pool, however, i'd rather see some fast swimming like the the usc, minnesota, and the multiple texas practices earlier posted. Also, most swimmer can do modified versions of those sets but, because of lack of equipment or other reasons, these dry lands cant always be done, so it doesnt really help to watch them. After all we are swimmers.

Jesus' I ain't never seen such an ugly weight coach before. The boys look good. Keep it up.
Anonymous Coward...I think the reason there have been so many recent dryland sets is that this site can easily go to southern colleges and tape what they do...the majority of the videos are from SEC/Big 12 Schools/teams on training trip in the south...and its just that time of the season right now...obviously kids that have a shot at the Olympics/doing well at trials are swimming hard but are now starting their taper...teams just arent pounding out the yardage right now...most colleges in the spring focus more on getting stronger than getting in shape for an ironman

Cool workout dryland activity, I bet they hurt after the first time they did that!
Anonymous Coward posted June 11 at 3:09pm.
to be honest, im tired of drylands, circuits and small technique sets....i love it but it's just getting a little old. I want to see some good yards done, like the first 4 videos on here

Great video, work out is great, but why is james wike so small he needs to bulk up. i think his forearms got smaller from the last video.
Probably not osgood-schlatter disease since that's usually caused by growth in height + overuse. Could be anything but those bands just decrease force on the patellar (over the knee) tendon. Good for loose swimmer joints.

dang that was intense

Flyguy133---I think those are bands for oshgood-schlatters. My friend has oshgood-schlatters and she has to wear a band like that when she runs and stuff.

the music is a little too loud while they are talking...in my opinion

what is cielo wearing around his knees?

Good stuff. I like the idea of stability in a dry land workout.
Ok, I've been pretty good about releasing a workout a week so I figure for the sake of alliteration I should start doing a Weekly Wednesday Workout. What do you think?
Chain Workout @ Auburn
someone knows the song's name?
