If a PB is supposed to help people work on perfecting/strengthening their pull…and a strong pull is desirable…where’s the rub? (rhetorical question)
Someone told me that a strong pull would overcome some body position issues. I believe him. I honestly can’t figure out why people attempt to put down others’ use of this tool.
Ya, actually strengthening the pull is the reason the PB was invented, e.g. b/c swimmers with strong kicks tend to overly rely on their kick. I know this is hard for some tri guys to believe but some swimmers can kick almost as fast as they can swim. See the “Kicktastic” type in the Swim Smooth typology.
