These workouts are put here as an option for AFD members to help improve their fitness related to FF activities. Each workout will contain a strength component (squats, deadlifts, presses, pulls etc) and finish with a conditioning component (lower skill movements done in intervals, rounds etc). The intention is to focus on building overall strength at the beginning of the workout when you are fresh and then use our strength for conditioning (as we are strength and power based athletes).

Workout:
Part 1 Done in gym:
A. Back Squat; 5-15 reps x 3 sets- use b/t 95-150# for this movement, only what you are sure you can do with good form.... be a good buddy and let your partner know how he/she is doing.
B. Chinups; Max reps x 3 sets; if needed use your feet for assistance if unable to do more than 5 reps.
Part 2 Done in bay/outside and with full PPE:
C. Firefighter Carry for distance (25-100ft) Rotate between being the victim and the rescuer for as many attempts as is realistic for you. You can choose to use the technique in the video.... however I wonder how realistic it would be without the victims assistance....
Firefighter Carry
D. Finish off with some good ol pushups- 3 sets of max reps. How much do you drop off with each set??
