aerobic sets which makes sprinters puny and weak

Originally posted by Phil Arcuni I would like to improve my stroke sprints. It will be very difficult for me to add more workout times to my week. Should I keep up the swim workouts that I do, or should I exchange a couple of them for a weight workout? If I do that, will my 200's get hurt? Would I be better off adding 10 minutes of abdominal work instead? What sort of weight workout did you have in mind? You could go high weight/low reps, low weight/high reps, or a circuit of weight stations with only moderate rest in between. The last one would add an aerobic component to your weight training.
