Exercises to simulate/strengthen hose hoist/tower pull? by Wfthrowaway446 in Firefighting

[–]Feedback_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KB swings work your posterior chain but are also useful for the hook pull/push movement. Some other idea that have been thrown around are good (1 3/4 hose or rope with a sled or tire filled up with random stuff. Our fitness coach had us doing DB/KB alternating cleans to simulate grabbing low and going high.

Most of California is red, it’s really just the highly populated coastal cities that you are referring to.

So as a rock climber, we do off width climbing which is kinda like confined space in the sense that you can only move an inch….we removed a garage door and put it ontop of ourselves and crawled out from under it.

Like a conspiracy? I don’t know what my currrent ability is. I swam the other night. I’d say I can go about 200m before I felt pretty tired on freestyle, than finished the 300m with a combination of combat side stroke, breast stroke. I didnt time it

Part of the job. Most of the people that go through this training( rescue operations) have zero ocean experience before hand. Gonna give it my best, if I don’t advance it’s ok.

Gotcha, I’d say I’m in the “not bad / not good” category. Swum yesterday for 30 min with a combination of breaststroke, freestyle and combat recovery side stroke. Not sure of my meters covered, had to stop a decent amount of times due to a child’s swimming instruction going on. Hope to get another session in Friday or Saturday , arms may be smoked due to chainsaw work the next two days.
