Mr. Hulk,
I have to say its at times really interesting to me that we have these kinds of debates...I enjoy them don't get me wrong...but the plain and simple fact is that there is not an "elite" USS, Collegiate or Masters swimmer who isn't doing some pretty aggressive strength training...yet here we are having to justify and explain that dead lifts are actually a good thing and you won't "bulk up" doing strength training...go figure.
So to all my competitors who doubt the benefits and thing (like Geek) they might get big thighs from squats or hurt themselves doing dead lifts or other Olympic style lifting...PLEASE keep that mindset!
