  • 1. There exist sprinters other than Alain Bernard. 2. You tried to swim directly after lifting weights and you felt slow? That's not when you see the results from lifting. 1. Sure there's also Alexander Popov for example - he used to swim even more than 60km. 2. It's not the matter that I felt slow - entire week after that my hands were like made from wood - I couldn't stretch them same as I could not bend them and... for 3 days after that I couldn't get up from bed without assistance :-( Damn I didn't use heavy weights - max was 3 sets 15 repeats each. That was really easy when I trained in a gym 4 times a week in my college time.
