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.
It seems that you all, as a whole, don't think weight lifting is that important.
I don't believe anyone is saying that. I do weights 2-3 times a week and it is an important part of my training.
I just do not spend any time worrying even the tinest little bit how my numbers compare to anyone else's, just how they compare to my previous numbers.
The only numbers that matter are the ones that appear on the scoreboard after the race.
