Here's my question: Should one intentionally loose muscle mass and weightlifting strength in order to be more streamlined and potentially go faster in the water? How much mass would one have to lose in order to present less resistance in the water?
Maybe on a related note: Let's say a swimmer has a muscular build, and their technique is very good, would they benefit from losing ten lbs. of extra muscle mass and maybe becoming a more streamlined vessel?
Any thoughts? :weightlifter::banana::weightlifter::banana:
...just don't do well with photos.
Uh, yeah...what a dog, jeez.:D
I have seen good swimmers with builds close to yours. Again, I don't think the issue is hydrodynamics but muscle mass around MAY hamper flexibility (hard to say from a single photo). Can you hold a tight streamline without much effort? Are you "long" in the water?
And seriously, lose the beer belly.:drink:
