OK, so before Hulk squeals on me, I'll just say that you lifters are probably right. I'm "man" enough to admit when I'm wrong. I just dropped significant time for PBs today at my meet with only 4-5 weeks lifting, a few days rest and no caffeine IV or long nails. lol It ain't all the suit. Definitely strength gains. Hulk watched my 100 back and said my turnover was slower, but that I was more powerful. So, it's clear that more strength is a key path to improvement for me. We'll see if I can overcome my dislike of it.
Glad you outed yourself there, Fort. I really wish I had video'd your swim. I think that would have really shown you how much stronger your pull is now. I think that if you combine that with a slightly higher turnover, you will see even more improvement. Good luck with the 50 back tomorrow. I expect to see low 33. Spliting 34.29 to the feet should prove to you that you can do it.
On a side note: I attempted to bribe the IGLA officials to redact my 100 back swim from the results but no luck. So if you want to see a death of epic proportions keep an eye out. It was REALLY bad.:frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated:
