I just read the Speedo tip of the week about "muscling" the recovery in buttetfly. I'm definitely that guy. I love the butterfly and want to swim faster, but seem to be stuck with the same times over and over. I'm sure my recovery has something to do with it. Any advice out there beyond the speedo tip of the week or is it really a mental thing that I've turned physical?
You gotta do what's comfortable, but I like my arms flat, flat, flat skimming the water on the recovery and then chest pressing through the arms. That's much easier on my shoulders. Can you even do a chest press with a double arm free recovery? It sounds hard. If you're slapping the water, maybe your arms aren't relaxed enough on the recovery?
