Those folks probably hurt themselves because of poor technique, most likely from being hunched over instead of keeping their torso upright.
#FIRE MAN CARRY PLUS#
and we are talking 20 years plus of absence from doing themīest training for fireman's carry would be doing the fireman's carry. I can still remember certain drill movements because of it. After all your teach a group of ppl that are accustomed to paying attention to details and getting only one chance to execute correctly. I think if you break it down into drill type movements ( remember how the about turn on the march was broken down) you can teach things by this standard in 20 minutes. If you can use sandbags, so they can understand real world application break in down in to the old drill fashion of squad 1 2,3 squad 2. powerful legs mean faster pepper podding and obstacle clearence 50 under fire and suddenly tweak your back is a very very bad thing. Emphasis on the lift and how not do screw the move. so squats will get you in and out vehicles. More military application is going to score you points with your minders. Only other movement that would simulated that is a snatch. they are for yanking them out of their hatches. In fact, you ever seen the re enforced epaulets and the back strap on the AFV crew suits and jackets. Pulling wounded out of the hatch of an AFV would the real world application. Power cleans would also work to train the back. the turkish would be a great move to teach, sadly its not on your list. Tom Cruise is hit and a fellow marine is sprinting to him, jumps to the ground rolls on top of cruise, hooks the arm and legs and gets to his knees and sprints off again.

forest gump and the wounding scene of born on the forth of july. Two of the best combat fireman's carry scenes in film were. Had us do endless metres of piggybacks, ( stimulates picking up leg wounded casualties ) and fireman carry casualties from different stances. The very friendly and well knowledgeable staff from E battery para of the Airborne regt. I have vivid memories from my infantry refresher the world renowned spa of CFB petawawa. Sorry for the long post, thanks for any answers/suggestions! I'm hoping this session will be one of many throughout the rest of the course, and I'll slowly get some convertsĭavid. What else besides squatting more can help with this? Question 4) I'm guessing flexibility getting down deep in a squat will be an issue with a few people(hell, it is for me). Question 3) To those experienced coaches out there: Does the above look reasonable for a group of approx 12 in 20min? Or should I reduce it down to one movement and spend more time on it? Go onto deadlift (heels, lumbar curve, squeeze bar from floor - again, plan on reviewing this thoroughly over the weekend). We've had a few PT sessions already, I think half of a tabata will give them a good enough dose.

Go through the air squat (heels on the floor, lumbar curve, good depth - I plan on spending a good amount of time over the weekend reviewing my L1 cert notes, videos, journal etc) Quick intro to the squat and deadlift, talk about functional movements (getting up off the toilet, lifting up kids/laundry/people).

It will be conducted with approx 12 pers in 20min. Question 2) Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but a simple program of squats and deadlifts would be much more effective than all of that nonsense above?Īssuming a yes to that question, I'd like feedback on the following plan. Question 1.5) How effective is that program? The lat pull downs and crunches sound right out to lunch to me. Question 1) (if anyone could explain it): For the 'stance' I would think that your shoulders should be pulled up and active, not pushed down and away? Thankfully I calmed myself down to look at the rest, and figured out it wasn't so bad (some kind of deadlift, planks and supermans) When I first saw the exercises, with lat pull downs and oblique crunch twists first, I nearly threw the computer across the room (it was sent via email). Modified dead lift (I have no idea what this is supposed to be)

Shoulder girdle is set (shoulders pressed down and away from your ears) (it lists a progression lasting 8 weeks going from 1 set of 12 reps to 2 sets of 8 reps for each excercise)Īlways ensure proper stance and form are maintained. Warm up: 3min brisk walk, 2 min rehearse movements w/ no weight Intensity: 70% of 1RM, slow and controlled Ensure a chest strengthening program is being performed on opposite days to ensure strength balance and joint stability
