I have an Olympic Tri coming up this summer and I’m not going to be able to get to the pool much at all with my schedule. Aside from improving cardio through running/biking, what gym exercises would best develop swimming muscles?
It’s best to do all your muscles, but if you are going to swim freestyle, and don’t have much time to train, I would say the most important muscles to work out would be the lats, legs, and core. For lats just use the lat machine and do lat pull downs. Legs, just do lunges, calf raises, and leg presses. Core, just do crunches, V-ups, Penguins, just make sure you work out all of your abs.
