Anyone have any nice moderate workouts for pull buoys involving various strokes or drills rather than just free?
Or do you have an idea of what else I can do if I cannot kick.
I am a lot slower with a pull buoy than without. I wouldn't say I have an awesome kick by any means, but my strokes are long enough (11-13 SPL per 25y) that without the kick, I'm screwed. I've shied away from using paddles for pull sets since the broken wrists, going just buoy, though since I bought my beloved snorkel, added the snorkel in there too.
I've tended to really concentrate on good, even form while pulling, and have slowed down my rhythm a little bit just so I can achieve that. Probably why I am a slow puller. But otherwise, its garbage yardage.
