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 really shouldn't speak about free but I think some things are generalizable. *** in a 25 yd pool my SPL is 9 at 50 pace,7at 100 pace and 5-6 at 200 pace.For Lindsay re;racing stroke,I read that the average swimmer thinks he/she they has better form at meets than in workouts,but in fact their form is worse. Fort,re: technique and shoulder problems,I saw a new PT and he said"you have shoulder problems because you have poor neck flexibility which is decreasing the ROM of your scapula and hurting your shoulder." We are working on helping my neck and my shoulder is getting better. Neck stiffness is not a technique problem in any way i can figure out.:dedhorse:
