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.

Paul I only count strokes to see if I can swim my 25 meters in 10 or less now, 7 strokes for 20 yards, that is count left hand enters and right hand enters as 2 strokes, easy push off the wall with 2 dolphin kicks. I still have trouble pushing off the wall with the alloy knees.
Woke up this morning took my blood pressure 124 over 64, resting heart rate 58, I must be getting in shape doing my 1000m a day. I am still having the battle of the bulge 6'3" weight down a little to 250ish, and I am really good looking (my own assesment). I walk 4 miles a day now occasionaly in beach sand.
My blood with reduced meds (half) is 5.2 to 6.2.
I have not done any time trials but feel my 50m is somewhere near 30 seconds. I cannot wait to get back into a regular sized pool right now swimming in a 20 yard pool. When I get back to Canada I will make an earnest speed trial in a 50m lc pool and a 25m sc pool.
