As I crawled back into the pool today fat and out of shape, I wondered: Don't sprinters need some minimal aerobic work? I see that Ande is doing none whatsoever and Paul advises not "fighting fat" in the pool. I do a lot of race pace training and cross training. But still, is just a little aerobic work called for? I can tell I don't need any for 50s, but my 100s could use a little something. I don't think I have the substantial swimming aerobic base that people like Ande have because I was out of the pool for so many years .. So I'm either taking my 100s out too slow for fear of dying or actually dying. Does aerobic work help counter this? Or do I need more lactate work such as doing 100s with huge amounts of rest?
Fort...Laura actually did the same routine and you saw the results she had in Austin. The gals at both Universities are way into the program because it gets results...."power lifting" is a bit misleading in my case however because I'm old, tired and can't lift as much as my wife. One other benefit...lifting heavy w/fewer reps vs. lifting light with high reps burns more calories and contrary to popular belief does not "bulk" you up.
I lift weights, dudes!! I've got guns. I'm just scared of lifting weights overhead or doing pull ups or chin ups because of my shoulders. I can squat just fine. :thhbbb: It's those sun salutations I'm skipping out on.
Laura did look pretty buff. Although AJ Block really sets the buff bar high. Good lord ... she looks like a sprinter even though she isn't.
