is it possible for me to drop my 100 yard butterfly time by 4 seconds within a 7 month span? i am trying to go from 56 to 52, my 50 fly is a 24.88 , but my 100 is a 56.16. for some reason i always die in the back 50, i usually take out 26 but come back 30. if i train swimming 200 butterfly would this help me to gain endurance so that i wont die in the last50?
Yes i do have a swim coach and swim with a team. for my junior year in highschool i went 56.16 at Finals, and i hope to go at least 52 for finals again in march. what weight exercise can help me with my butterfly?
Anything that would simulate the butterfly pulldowns. I used to do an exercise on a cable machine where the cable came through a pulley overhead, and I would attach a bar to. Then I would bend over to be somewhat horizontal and do double arm pulldowns in a swimming motion.
I now occasionally will use my Total Gym machine, but anything you can get access to that is similar will work.
Lat pull downs, triceps, pushups/or bench press, and lots of core work. You don't need to be big and bulky. More reps, less weights. Light, quick and strong is better. Work on improving the SDKs like Ande mentioned earlier. That's something I need to get back to as well. :)
