Why I’m OBSESSED with weighted pull-ups? Reason I prioritise these in my back/pull specific conditioning is (again) based on research published in the Journal Strength and Conditioning Research (2018) that showed, “Pull-up mechanics predict short-distance swimming performance in trained swimmers, confirming the importance of upper-limb strength” 🔱 For distance swimming I’m also seeing a HUGE difference in stroke rate and distance per stroke whilst @phdnutrition whey isolate keeps me lean BUT recovered 💪🏽 Pérez-Olea JI, Valenzuela PL, Aponte C, Izquierdo M.
