I swim 3 - 4 times a week and also strength train a few times weekly.
In the past I did a lot of heavy lifting but it was hard to combine it with good swim workouts because I was extremely fatigued the next day and my joints ached. I now do bodyweight exercises, a little strand pulling and some kettlebell training.
I would like to hear how other members are strength training in order to get new ideas. If it matters, I am a 55 year old male.
That's why it's called "heavy lifting". I was training powerlifting style.
Did you stop having problems when you quit powerlifting? Esp if you do squats, that can really take it out of you.
