I told Mr. Fort I intended to lift heavier, and I saw a look of horror cross his face. :eek: Not that he has read any recent theories on weight lifting (although he religiously lifts himself), but he said lifting heavy would add bulk and strength. I was thinking about track. Most of the women sprinters are pretty darn muscular ... I really don't want to add bulk, as I feel like swimming itself adds bulk particularly in the back and shoulders.
Geez, and what's wrong with a little 'bulk'? See anyone at Nats that was 'freakishly' large? I'm pretty sure you won't expand to the point where you'll have to go thru doorways sideways :frustrated:
If you exercise for the next 3-4 weeks and all of a sudden you find yourself no longer fitting into your clothing, then you should re-evaluate how you are training :-) And lay off the :roids:
