Keeping track of my training and Masters comeback after an 18-year layoff. I'll be posting daily workouts and, when time permits, I'll fill in the details of my background.
Why come back after 18 years? Who knows really. Here are a few possibilities:
1. A good way to channel my mid-life crisis energy.
2. I can swim a 50 breaststroke.
3. I can swim a 50 fly.
4. I wasn't doing anything useful at 5:00AM anyway.
5. Brown hair is over -rated.
6. Grey hair is inevitable.
7. I don't have to wear a "speedo".
8. That SDK thing looks like cheating to me.
9. Cheating should make it easier to go fast.
10. To find out how much I've lost.
Anyone else out there making a comeback?

Thanks for the feedback.
I've been doing variations of this weight workout for many years. The current high rep version is intended to incorporate an aerobic element into the weight workout. It also takes a good amount of mental toughness and endurance to get through these sets.
Couldn't you apply the same concept to a swimming workout (i.e., one 500 swim to exhaustion accomplishes the same thing as 5X100s)?
I've had shoulder problems in the past, but isolated it to upright rows. Once I stopped doing them, it healed. I find that I'm OK as long as I'm not lifting directly above my head. All my overhead stuff is done in front of my face.
