There is a method, which is referred to as the Rushall method which Michael Andrew uses.
Was wondering if you had any critique about this. If this sort of training is a good idea and what are the problems.
Would this also be good for longer events? Like the 400 IM?
Thanks!
There is a discussion on the Ande's Swimming Tips thread about weight training and USRPT. I thought I'd bring it back here as this thread seems a better fit. Here are my problems: I understand the importance of specificity, but I can't do over about 250 yd total breaststroke at race pace consistently without knee pain. I can't do sets over 1000 of any stroke race pace consistently without shoulder pain. I try to get around this by doing BR pull/dolphin kick with fins sets, kick sets, drill sets, and lifting weights. This is not very specific and I want to swim faster(don't we all.) Suggestions?
