In this episode, we "dive" deep into the world of dry land training for swimmers, a crucial but often misunderstood aspect of training. We discuss common misconceptions, including why swimmers should not be training like bodybuilders and why hypertrophy is not the main goal. We'll talk about how to make the existing muscle mass more efficient, focusing on how Streamline Performance creates programs that not only match swimmers' pool training intensity but also help them build more capacity.
Discover the importance of foundational strength work, motor control, and the right movement patterns for swimmers. We go into details about what an ideal dry land program looks like, from warm-up, activation, and motor control to general loading. Also, find out why carries, often overlooked, are an essential part of training, especially for swimmers' unique stability needs.
Finally, learn some practical, inexpensive, and creative ways to implement strength and stability exercises into your routine, whether you're a swim coach or an individual swimmer. If you've ever wondered how to boost your strength, stability, and overall performance in the pool, this is the episode for you. Don't miss it!
