Total Conditioning for Swimming?

Has anyone used any of the strength training plans from this book by David Salo? I had planned to follow this starting in January, but when it came right down to it, the plans seemed nebulous and possibly a bit out of date compared to other plans I had available (non swim specific). So I went with another option for the time being. Any thoughts, opinions?

  • Fortress, here's a question--can you do a full chin up/pull up? I'm getting close but I'm not there quite yet. The work to build that strength really trashes my upper body. But I'd like to be at a point where chin ups are something I do regularly. In sets.:) Yes. In the past, I have even done sets of 3 x 10 chin ups at the gym. Haven't done any pull ups or chins at all in months because of the elbows.
