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.
Sorry, when you said "strength of top swimmers," I didn't realize you only meant sprinters.
The 400 free is not an aerobic event in the true sense of the word, you are well above lactate threshold for the entire race. That is true of the vast majority of pool events.
Nothing is 100% aerobic, but a 400 is better than 50% aerobic
