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)
Three weeks out I start decreasing weights by 10% each session and increase the speed of the lift. I feel this helps with hand and foot speed. 10 days out I stop lifting. I do agree it is very hard to taper too much.
