From the man whose WR has been broken four times in the last two months.....
I like his attitude. He could never be a USMS swimmer. Too much whining here about everything.
Lindsay,i remember that post and disagreed with it at the time.Everything I have read on shaving says it increases sensitivity.That is certainly my experience.What I think is interesting is they ,in my mind pretty well shoot down another Myth,namely that the main advantage of shaving was to increase sensitivity.I read that several places and it never made sense,as studies(instead of speculation) showed shaving decreased drag.Now the technical suits decrease drag and decrease sensitivity,showing the drag component is more important.(I am not saying increased sensitivity is not important,just that when world class swimmers have to choose between the 2 they choose decreased drag-or maybe they choose increased hype.)
