I know that with weights for swimming you're supposed to do high reps-low weight, but how many reps is enough? Are you supposed to do like 3 sets of 10 or 5 sets of 40? I'm new to the whole weights thing, so any input would be good. Right now I'm doing lat pulls, bench press, bicep and tricep curls.
Thanks a bunch!:groovy:
I went from 2 sets of 12 to 3 sets of 8(with heavier weights) and feel it really has helped my power.I tend to not wait between reps but do an upper body set then a leg set then back to the upper body set etc. Swimming is a high rep low weight exercise so doing high rep low weight lifts doesn't add much.
