After a largely successful meet this weekend (PB in 200 back by 3 seconds) my coach admonished me for a largely ineffective SDK. Seems as though I don't engage my core enough, am kicking more from the knee than the torso. He has suggested strongly (shall we say expected?) that I do some shooters at most practices, e.g. 6X25.
Here's my questions: what ratio of SDK to rest are you using for shooters? How many do you do in a set? With or without fins?
I am doing them with Zoomers, doing each 25 in about :17 to :19, with an interval of :45. I pushed the hypoxic envelope pretty hard this week as I started doing a set of 6. My 12 year old thinks I'm a wimp, I'd like to think I can salvage my ego.

We do some dry land exercises which include something called "bridge" which basically is lifting your butt off the ground with your legs bent at the knees using your lower back for impulsion and forearms for balance. It looks funny, and would seem to a non athlete as a simulation of sorts of s*x. This is done by the master's team with our coach. Heck, if you look at a Pilates or other exercise classes in adult gyms you'll see plenty of pelvic action. This is Brazil, less rigid or tight about sex. So what is being proven here is that swimming might improve your s*x life?
