I recently read an article that mentioned recent studies showing you can get a decent workout by doing one set (10-12 reps to exhaustion). What time I have to exercise, I'd rather be in the water, but I can easily spare 5 minutes on my way out the door to hit some of the muscle groups in the weight room. Any one have suggestions for super fast workouts? Thanks.
Our team did different stations each time out. I.E. on "Day 1," we would do bench press & squats. Usually the swimmers did three sets of each with the weight increasing each time. On the third set, they would lift "to fatigue"
"Day 2" was called dead lift & power clean. If you visit the website: biggerfasterstronger.com, it should give you a pretty good description of how to do each workout.
You want to do less weight in the beginning. You'll find that this program makes you more explosive off walls and more efficient in regards to your stroke technique. Hope this helps!
