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?
What does this have to do with it? Stabilization of the weight is a key component of deadlifting and maximizing the benefit. If your knees are that much of an issue, I would be willing to bet that you are doing one or more of these four things:
1) Not getting your hips low enough at the start of the lift
2) Initiating the movement with the knee joint and not the hips
3) Not keeping your low back straight
4) Rounding your shoulders

Actually just about everything...it was a patellular reattachment (jumpers knee if you will) and there is pain in any bending movement I do regardless...going heavy in squats just ain't going to happen anymore.
