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.
lezak looks very strong
I remember eddie telling me
as a freshman, brendan could do 40 reps on bench press with his body weight
recently I've done 5 or 6 reps with mine
the key thing for swimming is
strength vs body weight vs body shape vs swimming technique
Kirsty Coventry is very fast but not she's pretty thin and doesn't look real strong
