I am happy to have found Dragon Boating as a passion in life. I coach for the Tacoma Dragon Boat Association and enjoy sharing and learning all things paddling.

Special Phase Strength Training
Special Phase Strength Training
The intent during this phase is speed. Work on maximizing your power while maintaining a very fast rate, 1 second ascents. Work in 2 to 3 sets of high repetitions (30-50) These are lower weight sets, so you should be able to last for more repetitions and maintain the high speed. If you start to tire and begin to slow down, end that set after a couple more reps and come back to that exercise again. Try to work up to the suggested numbers over time.
For each exercise, find your maximum weight by doing the exercise with single lifts building up the weight slowly until you cannot lift the next heavier weight. These exercises are done at 30 - 50% of that weight.
Again emphasize speed of execution!
