I have been working harder at the gym this year & my fly times are showing improvement. Back stroke is another story. My times are slower?? I feel as if my kick is weaker, lots of quad extensions at the gym have not help. Any ideas?:cane:
Maybe do lighter weights and higher reps on the quad extensions.
Maybe you are morphing into a butterflyer. I was a backstroke/butterflyer for many years until my backstroke just died on me at 15. It was hard to explain. I don't do much backstroke nowadays but I do have several 200 backstroke swims coming up. I am actually swimming it at my taper meet due to order of event issues. The weird thing is that whenever I got pointers on my strokes, the person giving the pointers always says that my backstroke looks great while my other strokes are what the kids call "a hot mess".
