Dryside Training: Gold Medal Workout (Part 2) – By J.R. Rosania

By J.R. Rosania

Last month (SW August 2021), we discussed training outside of the pool with exercises to enhance strength, power and stamina, resulting in faster swimming. We watched in awe this summer as Olympic swimmers performed and produced amazing results in Tokyo.

Most, if not all, of the swimmers nowadays use resistance dryland training to strengthen muscle groups that are so overused. The following exercises not only enhance strength and athletic ability, but they also provide balance between overused and non-used muscle groups.

Here are another five exercises to add to your Gold Medal workout that will strengthen and balance the muscles involved in your strokes and events.

Maintain the format of performing these exercises two to three times a week, completing three sets of eight to 12 repetitions per exercise.

Resistance should be at 90% of max ability, meaning the third set in the last few reps should be difficult, but not impossible. As is customary, discontinue this program seven to 10 days prior to a major competition.

Have fun, and enjoy your Gold Medal workout.
