I'm trying to determine what level of strength is required to be a good sprinter (i.e. 100 free).
Could you list your max repetitions of push ups, pull ups and dips? This would give me some assesment on power to weight ratio and strength endurance.
Also, what is your max bench press if you know it? or reps of 225 lbs. I'm curious about what level of pure strength sprinters have.
I think I am deficient mostly in technique and then strength endurance but maybe this post would show me I need weight room work.

I swam my best races without doing physical exercises. A little swimming lots of technique and mind over matter. I was very strong and could lift very heavy weights, my legs were very strong but not for any reason other than isometric contractions, a few situps, a little cycling and a lot of slow paced walking.
