Madison Marathon and What You Shouldn’t Be Doing
Excellent discussion!
Thanks for sharing! 💪
Thanks for watching!
Good result at the sprint 💪👌
Love it! Thanks for sharing! More videos please 😊
11:40 👍👍👍👍👍
Vid was too long, where do you exactly talk about hips ? Thank you
Sucks about the DNF. Come back stronger 💪👌
The wind tunnel sounds amazing 👌
It was awesome. I came up with every reason why I didnt need to but what i learned was invaluable.
Wow that is a big improvement for one practice
Drive from the hips. I can add that to my technique. Thanks.
So then He’d Belgiums with 19 ID with Conti 5000 S could be beaten by a The same tire on a wider ID hoop will work better because of better rolling resistance. But at 260 lbs I can’t go as low as none Clyde’s. If I get 25 ID and 25 rubber (conti) . Will the width stay the same. Asking because I don’t know how much wider my Tarmac can take width wise. Where can I get some info to learn from..?
i would say he looks too down , front quadrant swimming is not present, crossing center line and crossing, breathing pattern could be sooner instead of every 4, also toes could be more pointed
very good analysis and drills... Did the swimmer improve his time alas?
That is, hands down, the best analysis of the potential gains/ improvements for any swimmer I've ever seen. You have a stunning mastery of stroke pathology and remedial action. Really useful. It might sound a bit antiquated but, thanks for posting. 👍
Good stuff!
Thank you, Steve! Very helpful.
This was helpful, thank you Steve
These videos are awesome!! Keep them comin :) Thank you!
Thank you!
Good lil vlog!
Thanks man!
Considering all that is supposedly wrong with the swimmers technique, and he is still able to achieve a 1:30 per 100m tells me that most videos not just this one, do not emphasize, or cover the topic of the swimmer's natural ability, timing and synchronising of all parts of the body movement in executing freestyle. I think catch and pull technique are only beneficial once the position of head, hips, legs have been corrected, and breathing cycle has improved to maintain perpetual movement in the water. I am a beginner and swim 2:30 per 100m, but swimmers with really bad technique swim past me all the time
How someone catches and pulls on the water will effect head, hips, leg (body position) so you cannot separate the “process”. The same can be said, don’t work on fitness before technique is established. Because we know fitness effects technique. Establish the biggest limiters in someone’s swimming and start there.
Good explanation. He carries a lot of tension in the recovery phase of the stroke. Arms are not relaxed. Thanks!
You are definitely correct!
Merry Christmas, thank you for this content
With every single freestyle and back stroke video I have seen, the pulling arm initiates the body rotation, not the hips. This holds true for the kicking exercises where you are using body rotation as you kick, which I do a lot. Shoulders rotate independently from each other, hips are fused and rotate as one unit. Pulling arm initiates the rotation, hips follow along with down/front side kick, then recover arm finishes shoulder rotation. I do a lot of catch up swimming. Consider that one of the best freestyle exercises ever. Get full extension, and rotation, and 2 beat kick.
I don't think this is the correct way, hips/legs should initiate the rotation first.
If you focus only on the recovering arm, then it does happen after the hip rotation. However, as I said above, the shoulder rotation starts with the pulling arm, which gets to about 20 to 25 degrees, and then the foot on the same side does the down kick. This is easier to see with some one doing a 2 beat freestyle kick.
Sorry Rob, hips/hip rotation are a critical part of the pull phase. The goal is to move the body forward over the pull arm. Once the catch position is set, you connect hips core shoulders to move over your now pull phase. This movement/acceleration will power the pull phase backwards
@@StevenBrandesWI Not clear on your point here. Without exception, for every swimmer whose kick is correctly timed with the arm pull. the pulling arm initiates the body rotation. As I said above, it is mechanically/physically impossible for the lower body to generate the rotation. It is true that with land based sports that use rotational energy, the rotation starts with the feet, either shoulder width or a bit more apart like with a golf swing or karate punch, or by stepping into the rotation like a baseball pitcher. The coiling of the body HAS to be anchored on the ground or you have nothing to push off of to generate that power. In the water, there is NOTHING for the feet to anchor on. Also, with swimming, there is a small bit of throwing the recover arm forward, but the primary and most powerful action is the pull. Watch any video of any swimmer, easier to see with freestyle, and the pulling/low side arm initiates the pull first, then the hips rotate, and then the recover arm finishes the shoulder rotation. As I said above, the shoulders rotate independently of each other, not as a single unit like the hips. The pulling arm gets to about 1/4 of the way through the pull, and then the same side leg kicks down. The pulling arm is the 'anchor' point for the lower body rotation. I mentioned this to Gary Hall Sr. over at Race Club, and he commented that even with the 50 meter sprinters, the pulling arm starts to pull just slightly before the recover arm follows through. Watch it in slow motion. It is obvious.
I was having a bit of difficulty understanding a lot of what you are saying here, mostly just not translating to me.... Could be me. His feet are terrible for position, being bent to 60 or 70 degrees rather than being straight/at 0 degrees or even less than 0. They create huge amounts of drag by pointing to the bottom of the pool, and no thrust on the down/front side kick. and almost nothing on the up side. This problem is common with runners who swim. Going pigeon toed can gain you an extra 20 or so degrees of dorsi flexion. As for his arm pull, for sure he is not getting as much distance per stroke as he should. I couldn't really tell, but it looks like on his arm pull his elbow is leading his hand, which means no vertical forearm, so a much less efficient arm pull because his arm is slipping through the water rather than grabbing it. He is crossing over with his right hand, but that is on the left side of the screen. This also leads to him snaking sideways through the water. Another point, as a coach from Speedo said, 'suck in your gut like you are trying to put your belly button on your spine. This greatly improves body position, keeping your legs higher. Every bit as critical as keeping your head down. In 'stretch' mode, with push off the wall just strong enough to get me to swim speed, I can get 10 or slightly less stroke cycles or 20 arm pulls per length of the pool. In full sprint, it is more like 22 to 24. I know one distance swimmer who can make it in 10 to 12 strokes, and he swims catch up style for his races. He is 'different'. I consider lengths where I minimum strokes per length to be an essential part of just about every practice. Interesting that when he does the catch up drill, he is not crossing over. His hand entry could be better. I never considered air bubbles on the back side of your arm to be a problem, but don't know. For sure he needs to work on that. Trying to remember if he has a good catch? The wrist needs to flex 20 or so degrees before the 'set up' where you start your power part of the pull, from 45 to 135 degrees.
You two make me laugh 😂. Happy turkey day 🦃!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Looking forward to this series! Here are my name recommendations: The Madison or Monday transition with Cindy and Steve The Monday Shift The Madison Freestyle or Mashup based on the request for random topics I would like to hear your thoughts on balance as I struggle with being the Debbie downer in my circle of peers when I want to focus on personal gains. This is a challenge especially in the holiday season. I also like your news letter topic that talked about fighting the holiday gain that came out last year. Last, I constantly fight my self to keep it simple and would be nice to hear your thoughts on gear vs. self improvement (pace, weight, etc).
Love these!
Metaspeed Edge Heel drop 8mm vs Alphafly Heel drop is 4mm. Generally, smaller heel drop puts more strain on the achilles so would make sense that the Asics feels better.
Thats a great point! You must be really smart!
