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

Dominick,
Actually I think you were getting the best workout with the different speed bags and double end bags. Boxers have long used core body strength, the only way to connect the power of the legs through the abdominals to the hands.
At 5 feet 6 inches 125 lbs I know I would not want to tangle with you.:p And there is really no swimming body type. It does help to be 6 feet 6 inches but there are great swimmers at 4 feet 11 inches.
Remember the "Old" days of medicine balls, well they are back.
I guess 2500 yards is good for 70 years young, although you will never realize your swimming potential at any age with your present coach:D
Tell me the real story on time in the gym. I bet there are some hot babes there. I know I lift more when there are some hotties arround. Just male ego working
