swimming for an hour!! hats off brother!

[ohyeah]

yep ive been going to swim for almost a month, its really a very relaxing and refreshing excercise, how good is it when lifting weights? i guess it gets your muscles well defined... doesnt it?

It does for me.

I'd break calfs and forearms out and do them Friday before your cardio.

IMO, you should add more protein by eating meat, and cut your swimming a little if you want to gain muscle. At 5'11" and 154, you are already pretty lean and by adding real food protein and cutting back on the swimming, you will start adding muscle easier.

i used to run cross country competitively for a division 1 school . I would run 10-12 miles a day. I got injured one year during the peak of my condition and so i swam. IT WAS THE HARDEST WORKOUT I EVER DID!

As for me when I lift hard such as heavy chest back or shoulders days i wouldn't swim because when i swam and lifted i started injuring my joints ex. shoulder, elbow etc. but if your body can take push it to the limit! GL!

I have the opposite, when my shoulders start acting up swimming seems to strengthen them up quickly.
