Quoting from the same paper, written in 1993, because the world hasn't moved on since then....... The lack of a positive transfer between dry-land strength gains and swimming propulsive force may be due to the specificity of training.
And for the other...always buy bonds, preferably Greek Bonds.
You are the one who is arguing in favor of Greek bonds here my friend!!!!
Or better- corn futures. (A very appropriate investment for commercial corn producers. A wildly inappropriate investment for 99.9% of ordinary individuals)
This is an adult onset triathlete swimmer.
The easiest ways to get faster will be:
1) Fix strike
2) Develop swim specific fitness and strength.
The most appropriate way to do this is consistent, logical, supervised SWIM training.
Weight training, in the hopes of making a time strapped triathlete swimmer, swimming faster - is a distraction which will definitely make them SLOWER.
It is true that weights might benefit some swimmers in some circumstances.
But you are overlooking the obvious, the practical and the consistently beneficial- in favor of the exotic and generally irrelevant.
