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.

SPL probably the most useless thing you can waste your time with when sprinting, the secret is to get there first and not worry about the stroke count. I never would give a thought to how fast I was turning over. Make the stroke efficient and complete and be in front of the second place swimmer.
