Paul,
I'm glad I could help! I feel it's important to do strength training for all the muscles of the body. But, yes, as swimmers, I think we have to especially do work on our shoulders in general, and our rotator cuffs specifically.
Dom,
I'm trying to make it a good age! :D I have been adding different weights, but it depends on the muscle group. For shoulders, I've had to stay mainly to 3 lbs. But for biceps, I use 10 or 12. For pecs and triceps, I use 8. Back 5. But I do try to challenge myself and try doing a heavier weight from time to time. But as I've said, I don't want to overdo it and injure myself.
Thanks all for the comments!
JIM
