Performance Wednesday! Swimming edition!! Want to know what the research says about getting faster in the water? You need to get out of the water to make your strength gains initially. Train for maximum strength on land to increase propulsion in water. Optimally train >75% 1RM at low reps with high intensities. High rep routines do not show significant strength gains for swimming. Focus on Starts, and Turns- working on explosive movements such as squat jumps, counter movement jumps, and progressive Plyometrics. Training aids (ie: swim paddles)that are specific to swimming do not show a significant improvement in propulsive power in the water and are considered more swim endurance aids due to the lower intensity. Instead, use dry land training as strength stimulus, then apply the new strength to the water with clean swimming. Younger, less experienced swimmers will have a greater training affect in a shorter amount of time than more experienced swimmers which will need to train longer to get their desired training effect. Therefore, it is recommended to continue strength training throughout the entire swim season. reference: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9100337/

Nutrition Sunday! High fructose corn syrup has been an over abundant sweetener in our beverages for over 30 years, wreaking havoc on our intestines and creating inflammatory conditions in millions of people every year. Adults between 45 and 49 years old are three times more likely to have coronary artery disease from consuming high fructose corn syrup beverages, such as soft drinks, juices, especially apple juice, and other processed fruit drinks. If heart disease, diabetes, obesity, COPD, or arthritis runs in your family, think twice the next time you go grocery shopping and read the label! If you see High Fructose Corn Syrup, replace with real fruit instead. Your body will thank you in your 50s and 60s! reference: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7050890/

Longevity Saturday! Low testosterone is plaguing the western culture, and has many causes that we can directly effect without even needing supplementation. One of the easiest ways to improve your daytime Testosterone is to get enough sleep! Many of us, nearly a quarter of the population get less than five hours of sleep per night. Optimal is 7-9 hours per night for maximum testosterone release. Not to worry, one night of sleep, deprivation would not deplete your testosterone!! So, help yourself get jacked just by going to sleep a couple more hours a night and see what that does over the next six weeks! reference: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4445839/
