I'm just a recreational freediver looking at improving my overall performance and fitness levels. With that said; I'm curious on opinions/advice of when to insert dynamics/statics into my already busy workout regiment. (I have also included meals in the following table)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated:

Workouts:

Mon: Kettlebell Speed Training (ie Olympic-type Lifting) 40min, 30min jog 65% MHR

Tue: Kettlebell Speed Training- upper body 40 min, 30min jog 65% MHR

Wed: Poolwork. Warm-up 10 min. Followed by Dynamics (intervals of 50m) with decreasing rest time(s). Only if there is a spotter, otherwise, 35min swimming.

Thur: Kettlebell Strength day, upper body, 50min, 20min jog

Fri: Kettlebell strength day, lower body, 50min

Sun: Crosstraining day: Football, volleyball, mountain biking, diving.

Meals:

Midmorning: low glycemic nuts/fruit 25g protein

Lunch: very small meal of protein mostly fish or chicken 50g Protein/25g Carbs

Post-workout recovery: Usually a protein drink.

Dinner (late in day; 9pm): Large meal of protein, fats and carbs...usually totaling about 1400-1800 calories.

I now have a regular apnea training partner and can do more pool work but I LOVE the gains in speed, explosiveness, and endurance I am making with the kettlebell lifting. Can I throw in some statics after lifting instead of the runs? Is it okay to do statics before lifting and runs?

I'm curious to see what works best for you guys?
