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:
I have never ever seen an anorexic swimmer, I don't think it's possible. However, go to a running race and it doesn't take long to see some nastified skinny jokers. Swimmers are universally known by their ability to consume tons of food, and beer.
