At what point do I stop lifting weights for my taper for naionals? I have heard everything from 2-3 weeks prior to gradually decreasing reps and weight load to doing a "speed lift" week 2 weeks out. I suppose I am a sprinter, if that makes any difference. (longest swim will be the 200 IM)

A pompous fat man once told me that there are pompous skinny guys. In the country I live in we are allowed to say what our beliefs are. If you can give proper and sound advice or eg. you swim as fast as Phelps or Thorpe I will gladly listen, then I have the right to decide what is best for me. You are allowed to say whats best for you and for any one else. I have a choice of following any advice I recieve or can decide not to. I have managed pretty well without lifting weights.
