Does anyone know how strong the top swimmers are? Guys like M. Phelps or B. Hansen, how much can they lift with their legs, bench, lat pull, curl, tri ex, etc. I am making weight training a big part of my workouts, but I understand, at a certain point, adding more muscle or strength is not going to be of much benefit.

Interesting how strength was related to swimming power and not performance. I would have thought that if power increased so would performance.
Does this necessarily, conclusively, prove there is no link between increased strength and performance? Could it, perhaps, just mean that this particular group were not able to use this increased strength to their advantage?
