Hey Bros,

Since summer is here and I have 2 pools in my subdivision, I was wondering your thoughts on swimming laps as a source for cardio? I know its great for cardio in general but what about for bodybuilders is it a no no or good stuff? Will it have any effects on muscle growth as opposed to other forms of cardio?

Thanks,
ZZZOOM
 
personally ...i think swimming is much better for cardio....less strain on the joints from running and it is both an upper body and lower body workout...give it a try!!
 
also works good to get the acne off your back.. if you have that problem.. i don't.. ya right just did my last cloimd tab and my back looks like i'm 16 again.. just alot more,, it sux to be 32 and get zits.. here comes the sun
 
I can't wait

To be able to swim again. Then again I cant wait until I can lift my arm up agin without the help from my other one.

Sure kick a man when he is down. If you ever do make it to my gym, You might want to bring your own spoter.....hahahaha
 
swimming is great cardio. It really burns the calories...swimming recruits virtually every muscle in your body and the difference between body temp and water temp forces your body to expend even more calories on keeping body temp up.
 
sure prez sure:D .Have you goten any of my PM's isent? I sent 2 to you and 2 to presser. just wondering if there is a glitch here or what.

O yea, good info bstrong:)
