I'm seeing conflicting information about shoulder exercises for swimming. A recent article on SwimSwam (swimswam.com/.../) talks about doing all the Jobe's Shoulder Exercises to help prevent shoulder injury. But then I've seen other info that warns swimmers against over-training the shoulders in their cross training, and avoiding dryland work on the muscles we already work a'plenty (like here: saycoperformance.com/.../)
So what do you think of this, ie focusing the dryland on the lesser-used muscles? Which Jobes exercises would you ditch?
I think it just might boil down to listening to your body's response to whatever activity it endures. We need more recovery time as we age, and with swimming 30,000 yards a week there could be little room for stuff that could be otherwise beneficial.
