Hello,
Do any of you lift weights and if so has it helped with your swimming? (ie: made you swim faster, harder, times are lower etc?)
Thanks

Wayne. My problem is I like the gym to much. True I am not a fast swimmer. Also I am Self coached. I do compete on occasion. But for sure I do not break any sound barriers. When i am in the gym my first half hour is ab excerise. But I donot always do weights. I rotate aroun d various excerise. Untill I left N. Y. One of my excerises was boxing. Which cnsisted of various excerises. But manily on different speed bags and double end bags. Also the big bag. Each Has a different purpose. Also true I am not built like aswimmer. I am 5 feet 6 inches 125 lbs. 70 yrs. Old .OH' I do need more rest in between sets , than i did at say 40 50 years of age. DOM
