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.
Donna...with regard to TI....(man a 3rd referance in one day!)...I think many have said the same thing...that Terry has done a great job in repackaging a lot of things that are considered common sense to elite coaches/athletes.....I see the stuff he advocates used all the time in programs I have a chance to spend time around....
So to that end I would say that yes many of these practices/drills/concepts in TI are in use by WR setting swimmers (masters & USS)...the concepts he talks about and has created in a sense are a new "language" that some people seem to "hear" better....and others get high blood pressure from...Yo Fort! :woot:
