Fantastic sessions. I am not understanding some concepts though. What are suicides?
Snake warm up?
In some sessions you just write "drill", what does that mean?
Sorry to ask so many questions, its beem years since I was part of a squad and terms change and some terms are used here in Aus. Atleast I havent heard them...
Thanks for your time.
You can find explanations for all those drills at www.usms.org That's what I did as I wasn't sure what they were either:)
