Jimby, this topic interests me as well. I don't know if lifting has helped my speed any but I can give you these numbers.
Had my body fat content measured yesterday as it's been a while.
Zero lifting and dryland - 19.1% Body Fat
Present - some lifting over a period of 2.5 years (endurance/ light to moderate lifting) - 15.9% Body Fat.
So not sure if it helps speed but it sure as heck helps fat disappear.
I would like to take your word for it, but just as my blog on this topic is dedicated to a scientific-based examination of weight training and its effect on swim performance, so must I remain neutral on claims of reduced body fat percentage in CremePuffs until I am able to verify same independently and scientifically.
When can I and my calipers arrange for an examination?
