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.
First, men are stronger than women. Men swim faster based on that fact.
I don't have to look very far to find some 15-year-old girls with sticks for arms who can swam faster than 99.99% of all USMS males.
