I agree with that. I started to look like tank woman. No thanks.
I love the men telling the women to throw away the scale and lift more.
Natalie and Lacey are both tiny (compared to me) and more importantly, in their 20s. And they are very elite swimmers. Can't really compare myself to them. I think it would be much more relevant to compare SVDL to us masters women. It's a different ballgame when you reach 30s and 40s and beyond starting with a slower metabolism. Gary Hall, last I checked, is a guy.
(S)he you've made it very clear that your perfectly comfortable and set in what your doing and are happy with the results....oh wait you tell us you don't care about results...but wait you post your times and rankings...oh wait those don't matter because they are USMS times rankings and you train with kids...but oh wait you want to compare yourself to SVDL...but wait she trains only 3x a week and completely the opposite of how you do...and God forbid a guy offering training advice mention a scale around you...but we keep seeing those glamour shot avatars....:mooning:
Here's the deal, regardless of age, sex, whatever if your training and competing in my opinion you look at and emulate whats successful for the elite athletes in that sport. And the bottom line is the kind of training that sprint oriented swimmers are doing and showing the most results...without looking like body builders by any stretch of the imagination...involves power/strength training.
