I have a question for you lifters.I usually lift and then swim.Yesterday I needed to do it in reverse.Do to time constraints I only swam 1600M,but it was good quality with 100s BR at 200 race pace.After swimming I was REALLY tired as I dried off and put on my gym clothes.As I walked into the weight room I thought"I'll start with my regular weight,but decrease quickly if it hurts.Instead the weights felt light.Lifting was much easier than usual.Any theories?
Seems like a better way to do it to me. You get some quality swimming in first. I cannot swim anything but a recovery/drill workout after I "lift heavy." In fact, this lifting heavy stuff is effecting my ability to swim fast. 2 days later, I'm still sore. Swimming was torture yesterday. How long does it take for your body to adjust to this "liting heavy" thing?
Allen, I think you misspelled "backstroke."
