Q&A #126 - Swimming and the specificity of upper body training adaptations (or how the turkeys can catch up with the fish)
- Is having the swim as your weakest discipline really just a consequence of not having put in the long and hard work required in the pool to the same extent that you have on the run and the bike?
- Differences in muscle fiber type and function between the lower body and upper body
- Trainability and adaptability of upper body muscle fibers
- Practical recommendations for improving your swimming
