Power lifting makes me look like a tank ... at least relative to my old pre-swimming self. (I added that caveat for Smith.) So I guess I'll stop a teensy short of maximizing my potential. In any event, "maximizing your potential" is an awfully tall or abstract order for masters swimmers with lives and responsibilities. Just gotta do the best you can do given your circumstances. On the upside, at the moment, I'll be able to take down my skinny little cross country runner when he crashes the car.
I'd be curious to compare how I do one season with lifting and one season without. I still think my best meet was last August and I wasn't lifting much then. Perhaps lifting is more important for short course.
