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)

My absolutely best times ever was done 10 days AFTER our championships (and some weeks of taper). During those 10 days I had done absolutely nothing. That I always keep in mind - it is so much easier to taper and rest to little than too much.
