Subject: RE: Waterless Swim Training ??? I'm really the last person who should be dishing out swim advice. ... But having said that, I've found it very useful to use Strech Cordz. It's possible to get a fairly good workout in with the cords in a small fraction of the time that it takes to get to the pool etc. If I'm in a swim training phase, then I can do work with cords every day, perhaps for a few minutes before a bike trainer workout. It's no substitute for pool work, but I've found that it can make my pool training more effective, as I come into it far better prepared. I also learned a better pull (early vertical forearm ) using the cords, because I was able to pay attention to the appropriate engagement of the lat muscles when not distracted by breathing etc. |
