It is a highly functional movement targeting the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and calves. As well as more explosive kicks while swimming. Additionally, the back squat is great for developing core stability and control. If you are going to perform this exercise under high-load you will need to know how to brace and control your abdominal muscles effectively to support the load on your back.
I recommend starting out with box back squats. This will really ensure that you nail the technique before progressing to the standard variation of this exercise. The bench press is an excellent weight training exercise for developing your chest, triceps, and shoulders.
These muscle groups all play a critical role in swimming fast and efficiently. The triceps are largely involved in freestyle and backstroke swimming, while the chest is largely involved in breaststroke and butterfly swimming. And off course the shoulders play an important role in all of the strokes. The bench press exercise is also great for building some explosive upper body power. This will allow you to generate strong and fast pulls while swimming.
The deadlift is like the ultimate full-body weight training exercise. A large number of big muscle groups are involved during this movement with the primary muscles being the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, traps, lats, and shoulders. The deadlift is also great for developing stabilizing and functional core strength.
It improves power output and is a great overall exercise for increasing athleticism. There are a few variations of the deadlift. Namely the standard conventional deadlift, the sumo deadlift, the Romanian deadlift, and of course the trap bar deadlift.
From personal experience and some research, I recommend the conventional deadlift and if possible the trap bar deadlift.
These are the 2 most effective variations for increasing general strength and athleticism. The overhead press is a very functional exercise for building some solid shoulder and arm strength. Another huge plus from the overhead press is its tendency to mimic the overhead arm position that swimmers are frequently involved in. This will teach you how to generate some good power to get into and out of that overhead position, ultimately contributing to faster swimming times.
There are a few variations of the exercise that you can try out. The most typical is the standing overhead press with a barbell, but you can also try out seated variations and dumbbell variations of the exercise for added variety. Barbell rows are a good compound exercise for developing your back, shoulders, biceps, and triceps. All of these muscles play an important role in developing a strong and powerful pulling motion while swimming.
Like all of the other exercises, the barbell row is also great for developing core stability which will allow for optimal power transfer while swimming. Weight lifting injuries are far more common than they should be.
Unfortunately, this gives weight training a bad wrap sometimes, especially among swimming coaches and parents who do not fully understand why swimmers get injured in the weight room. Swimmers and athletes usually get injured from weight training mainly due to a lack of knowledge about how to lift properly, sustainably, and responsibly. There are 4 main factors when it comes to avoiding weight training injuries. If you make sure to follow the guidelines below your chances of getting injured in the weight room will be almost impossible.
If you are a swimmer, that goal would be to become stronger and more functional so that you can swim faster. Do not start adding weight to the bar until you know exactly how to perform each exercise with perfect technique. I recommend using only the empty bar or even a PVC pipe to practice the exercise technique. Video yourself to see how your technique looks and to see what changes when you move a certain muscle or change a specific angle of your body.
Watching videos online can also be a valuable tool for improving your technique. You can even get someone experienced, like a personal trainer, to help you learn the right training technique. Once you are comfortable performing the exercise with good technique, you can slowly start to add some weight on to the bar.
Warming up properly is super important. Get a set warm-up routine that you do before every training session. Stretching is one of the most valuable things a swimmer can incorporate into their daily routine. It is an important tool for avoiding injuries in both the weight room and the pool, but more importantly- it helps to increase range of motion and physical function. I recommend doing at least minutes of static stretching every day.
Preferably after your last workout for optimal results. Compile a list of your favorite stretches and combine them into a stretching routine that you can follow every day.
It is important not to do static stretching as a way of warming up since it may cause injury. Static stretching is aimed at increasing flexibility not warming up. In short- If you have swimming practice in the morning, you should lift weights in the afternoon. If you have swim practice in the afternoon, then you should consider doing your weight training in the morning. Day 5 Full Body -- 9 Yes. Day 1 Upper Body -- 11 Yes. Day 2 Lower Body -- 6 Yes.

While GZCLP programs extensively for the big four compound lifts squat, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press , it also calls for variations and accessory exercises to be performed.
These are organized into Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 lifts. Each progress a bit differently, but use simple rules to let you know how to progress each lift. Additionally, there is helpful information to know how to change the rep schemes when reps start to inevitably be missed after continually adding weight each week.
Heavy, Light, Medium HLM training is a simple method for organizing training so that gradual progress can be made each week. As the name suggests, this type of training consists of three training sessions per week: a heavy training session, a light training session, and a medium training session. These are manipulated to stimulate growth and allow for recovery within a given training week. There are many, many ways to organize HLM training.
The program presented within the spreadsheet is just one example of how the training can be organized. The spreadsheet was purposefully made to be flexible enough to accommodate other HLM training configurations.
It is for lifters that can no longer achieve weekly progress and squeezes out gains on a monthly basis. As long as equipment is not a limiting factor, these exercises should be the bread and butter of any effective full body workout program. The squat is one of the most effective compound exercises for your lower body and core muscles. From your upper back and lats all the way down to your lower back and calves, the squat engages your body in a way that few other exercises can.
Deadlifts are right up there with the squat in terms of the number of muscles engaged in each rep. It truly is one of the best exercises for engaging nearly every muscle of the body. For boulder shoulders, look no further than the overhead press.
Combined with the bench press, the overhead press provides a potent one-two punch in triggering hypertrophy in the delts. On top of that, the upper pectorals and triceps are also working hard on each rep while the trapezius helps position the scapula for maximum pressing efficiency. Just about every muscle of the upper body is engaged in some way. When it comes to building a bigger, more defined back, if you wanna grow, you gotta row.
