I just watched a great video entitled Swim Slow to Be Fast. I found it to be very interesting and sound advice. It is primarily meant for Tri Atheletes and distance swimmers..
sprinting without a warm up is dumb.
Yes it is. I would definately break body parts.
I'm sure if the ruskie was called to the blocks for a random sprint he would loosen up a little prior to starting, but it was designed for mental toughness and to be ready to do a race pace any time.
