Nice link. His tips makes sense to me.

I never could catch what the third “R” is; it is clearly related to distance per stroke (dps) and turnover rate (spm), but I couldn’t understand whatever word it is he’s saying, as he seems to have a bit of an Aussie accent:) I did easily hear that the first 2 “Rs” are rhythm and relaxation.
Range

Range - DPS

Ah, range, I see, that makes sense in terms of dps. Thanks!!!

Range/DPS…ah, great, thanks!!!
Can someone dumb it down for me? Why Range means DPS(I’m assuming DPS here means distance per stroke)?
The guy is completely off his rocker, but I have to admit he did make me laugh. I’ll have to start listening to ‘staying alive’ by the BeeGee’s before my swim sessions.
From Brett in the video: "DPS KILLS EVERY Ag SWIMMER ALIVE!! (around 3:03)
Brett is obviously a kooky personality, but as an MOPer AGer trying to improve, I gotta agree with that - he goes through why right after in that rant.
Also love the "ahhh my arms are falling off!! waaaaah’ rant antics at 5:00 making fun of how wussy AGers are about avoiding hard training and higher cadence LOL

Why?

You clearly don’t have your American Red Cross Adult CPR certification.
Nope.

“Optimal” chest compression rate = 100 compressions per minute
“Staying Alive” is taught as a way to keep that cadence…it’s not in the manual or official.
“Another Bites the Dust” also works…but it is highly HIGHLY recommended NOT to sing that one out loud.
Brett rarely give bad advice when it s related to triathlon. i never seen a coach change so many non swimmer into decent close to front pack individual. he as a gift to build strokes for everyone. The message is always deliver in a very entertaining and color full way but if you can read pass that… it s wise to listen and apply lots of his advise.

I agree. What it was saying makes sense. His results speak for themselves. And I thought he was very entertaining with his delivery.
I loved he told folks that advice he gave for one person was only for that person.
Love your posts on triathlon advice also.

Must be a heavy training day or Slowtwitch has grown up. Thread hasn’t devolved yet.
Good advice. Thanks for videos.
Great video

My interpretation of his meaning of range is the ability to keep pulling as long as possible rather than stretching out to create artificial length and disturbing your rythym and relaxation. (hope that’s not too confusing)
BTW how many people make sure there isn’t any tension in their biceps on recovery phase?
