I'd love to read any sicko kick sets you might be up for sharing. I'm a sprinter and the 100 is as far as I go. 50/100 free and fly so if that matters there it is. Thanks for any of your blood boiler kick sets:banana:.
Chris, I'm intrigued by the vertical kick set. One question, when you are doing the vertical kicking where are your arms; overhead in a streamline? On your head? Crossed on your chest?
I've done all of those things in the past, but in this case (18 kicks in 6 sec) I just have them to the side with hands out of the water. Really anywhere is fine, the main focus is training the nervous system and muscles for rapid dolphin kicking.
I got this set from the Univ of Richmond swim coach, who uses it pretty often. He doesn't usually follow it with sprint kicking but I have found that it is a good way to (attempt to) translate the rapid vertical kicking to horizontal kicking.
