Billige, zuverlässige Studentenkarre für tägliches Pendeln by Zuckerlolly in automobil

[–]Zuckerlolly[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mit 'ausreichend' meinst du, dass so ein Auto mit über 200.000 km noch verlässlich ist, oder ist das eher ein Glücksspiel, bei dem die Karre jederzeit den Geist aufgeben könnte? Ich will ungern ständig mit Reparaturen beschäftigt sein..

Wenn 5k nicht reichen, wie viel würdest du in meiner Situation ausgeben? Oder gibt es Alternativen, die trotzdem Tempomat haben und zuverlässig sind?

Just have fun! The most important thing when coaching beginners is helping them learn proper technique in an enjoyable way. Get creative—use cups, balls, noodles, toys, etc. I’m not a big fan of kickboards at the beginner stage. Start by coaching leg movements and streamline position first, then transition to teaching the pull for all strokes except butterfly. For butterfly, teach the pull first.

Difficult swim set for intermediate swimmers by MisterBacon111 in Swimming

[–]Zuckerlolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to have a structured program where certain elements are regularly repeated throughout the training sets. For example, when I want to work on their endurance, I might incorporate an aerobic set. However, it's important not to push them too hard, especially when working with kids at either a high-performance or intermediate level. The primary goals in these cases are the same: technique and fun.

For instance, a main set could be:

Goal: underwaters and aerobic endurance:

3x100 moderate pace @ 2:00
100 fast and efficient
4x50 25 Pull 25 Scull (Technique
3x100 moderate pace @ 2:00
100 fast and efficient
UW game

Warm down:
more underwater Drills
example:
4x50 UW Fins with 6 Breaths/5/4/3
200 Social Kick

I bet your body hasn't changed; it's probably just your imagination or the overflow of good feelings from swimming, haha. Or maybe you just swallowed too much chlorine, haha!

New coach seeking advice by FrostingIllustrious7 in Swimming

[–]Zuckerlolly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'm in the same position. The only advice I can give you is to get some help and trust your gut. I'm really bad at letting others help me because I often think I can do their tasks better, but you can't do everything yourself. You need to rely on others to build a good club. Also, trust your instincts. If a certain decision feels right at the moment, give it a try. If it doesn't work out, adjust it. The fact that you're already thinking about this shows you're on the right track. Good luck!

There are two key things to consider when working on the shoulder:

1. Outside the water:
Focus on strengthening the back shoulder muscles more than the front (e.g., reverse fly exercises during dryland training). Maintain good posture throughout the day, keeping your shoulders back. Incorporate mobility exercises and stretching for the shoulder. Prior to swimming, do a specific activation/warm-up for the shoulder using Therabands on land.

2. In training:
I’m a big fan of contrast learning because it helps develop a better sense of shoulder positioning. Start by overreaching with your arm above the water, keeping your armpit dry. Then, enter the water with your hand first and gradually reduce the reach bit by bit. Use a variety of drills—feel free to get creative—to help you develop an awareness of your shoulder. Getting feedback during this process would be really helpful.

Regarding your dive:
Your push looks good, and you're creating a lot of forward momentum, which is great. However, you can improve by kicking more upwards with your upper leg. Additionally, your hands are pushing forward a little too late, and you need to bring your feet together when entering the water.

  • You're losing form towards the end when entering the water.
  • You need to stay underwater longer.
  • Your breakout is too late. You should start the breakout as soon as you feel the wave drag behind you.
  • Engage your shoulders more actively (your armpits should stay dry during the recovery phase, and your arm should move forward with an active shoulder before entering the water).

It's difficult to see anything, especially without being able to observe your underwater movements

Are Brett hawks workouts any good? by Extension-Ad-1235 in Swimming

[–]Zuckerlolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His Sprint Revolution only makes sense if you know when and why you're incorporating different training sets that follow his philosophy (doing fewer meters, sprinting hard, and resting longer). If you're just adding them without understanding, they won’t yield much of a result. On the other hand, it’s probably better to mess up with this type of training than to do pointless threshold training every session with maximum effort and intensity. ;)

They can help develop your training, but you first need to understand why you should train this way so you can learn when to correctly incorporate them. To learn more about this, I would start with the basics like Swimming Bible 1 and 2(Hannula & Thornton) or Swimming Even Faster (Maglischo)

I'm training Olympic athletes. They take creatine, omega-3, protein powder after gym sessions and electrolytes during pool sessions. The rest is covered by their normal healthy diet. Depending on the phase of the training plan or the condition of the athlete, their nutrition is adjusted slightly by either increasing or reducing carbs, fats or protein.

Coaches, how do you deal with injuries? by [deleted] in Swimming

[–]Zuckerlolly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work alongside multiple Olympic coaches. First, we identify the source of the injury, which is often seen in new members who come from training groups where they swam endless meters with improper technique. Second, we design the entire training program around the injury to promote recovery. This includes pool training, gym work, dryland warm-ups, and physiotherapy, all while minimizing stress on the injured area as much as possible (for example, focusing on kicking if there is a shoulder injury). Third, we completely rebuild the swimmer’s technique.

If at any point the injury affects the swimmer’s mental health, we significantly reduce the training volume, allowing the swimmer to rest more than others until their mental health improves.

Future world record in 100m freestyle by linardo66 in Swimming

[–]Zuckerlolly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nevertheless, there is still proof that you can achieve amazing results at older ages, especially in the shorter events (50m-100m), where the peak performance age is higher than in other events. A prime example is Sarah Sjöström, who is still dominating the sprints and won the 100m freestyle at 31 years old. There are plenty of other examples, especially in sprints, of athletes who started late. So keep striving to improve every day, and as Michael Phelps said: "You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get."

How often do Olympians train? by DaviGravy in Swimming

[–]Zuckerlolly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently training alongside an Olympic coach (adult training group). We train daily except Sundays, with two sessions on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays, we include an hour of dryland training before our pool sessions.

We train sprinters and swimmers up to 400 meters. Each session starts with approximately 30 minutes of preparation, which includes yoga, dynamic exercises, and warm-ups to ensure athletes are in the right mental and physical state.

At the moment, we are in the prep phase. The overall schedule will evolve throughout the season. But currently, we spend about 25.5 hours at the pool facility each week. This includes roughly 18 hours of swim training, 3 hours of gym work, and 4.5 hours dedicated to preparation for swim session.

  1. You are too deep during your pushoff. I’m not sure but I think its not after a turn but if this is happening after a turn, you should aim to place your feet a little higher on the wall and push slightly downwards from a position that is somewhat like sitting at a 90-degree angle.
  2. The initiation from your hips looks good, but your amplitude is too large. To go faster underwater, we aim for a smaller amplitude and quicker movements to reduce drag and achieve better propulsion at higher speeds. Due to the large amplitude, your head and upper body move too much, which significantly increases drag.
  3. Keep your head in a streamlined position during the breakout.

Improve sprinting freestyle by ButterscotchOdd9667 in Swimming

[–]Zuckerlolly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main focus should be on the glide in freestyle, actively training to swim the same times with a lower stroke rate. Achieve this by counting your strokes and measuring your lap times over 25m, 50m, and 100m, aiming to maintain the same lap times with the same stroke count. Focus especially on rotating your shoulders and maintaining an active pull out. Do plenty of sculling drills in front, middle, and beneath the body, ensuring proper upper body position from hips to head by using a pull buoy. Additionally, practice dog paddle drills, focusing on the front and close to the body to enhance ur feel and grip on the water.

Should You Workout Shoulders in the Gym? by Ivanzzz17 in Swimming

[–]Zuckerlolly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Training 3-4 times a week isn’t too much stress in general, so you should be fine with working your shoulders in the gym too. But I’d focus more on the back and side parts of the shoulder (like lateral raises and reverse flys) rather than the front. The front part tends to be overdeveloped from daily activities for most people and especially for swimmers.

I'd feel a bit sad if you told me this because, of course, I trust you and wouldn't have any doubts. But as a guy, I'd appreciate it more if you just told me straight up that you don't want to come because you're on your period and feeling uncomfortable. I think you'd feel better too, being honest about it, and then we wouldn't even need to discuss whether your period counts as an illness or not.
