How to get stronger

I told Mr. Fort I intended to lift heavier, and I saw a look of horror cross his face. :eek: Hulk, I can't keep a weight log. That would make it not a fun, sustainable activity. I barely keep track of my swimming and never add up yardage. Same with food. I'd feel like I was on the nazi diet plan if I kept track. I know I've obsessive, but I just can't obsess about everything. Woa. Mr. Fort and Mr. Man must be conversing. When I took my husband to a masters meet w/ me in Florida and he saw all the people in fastskins (and you could not tell who was a man and who was a woman) he blurted out without thinking, "I don't want you getting too butch." Bad comment in sooo many ways, I know. I went nuts. He apologized (he's usually very good and does not say things like that). It was his knee jerk reaction to seeing everyone on deck. I keep too many logs of everything. It IS OCD. Don't start Fort. I think I'll stick w/ my fun first. And second. And third. Good exercise fourth. Rankings - 100th. Hulk, good posts. Thanks. I'd like to PM you later. In the weight room, I do your #3 Endurance training only. 3 Sets of 12 on many machines/ exercises. Sorry on my "average" comment. Was going purely on the numbers listed on the psych sheets. 200 Fly - seeded 26 of 51 400 FR - 40 of 78 800 FR - 22 of 40 Ho hum. Really though, this is good for me. I am annoyed and angry at being in the middle. I hope to use that in the pool. Interestingly 50 FR - 15th of 135 and it's not near my best event. I rank better among USS in shorter distances and I'm very slow in 200s and above. I think that's b/c the Masters "less is more" approach is fine in 100s and under. Not so good on 200s and bad for distance.
