she is amazing!

Amanda, you are amazing! And to everyone who says Amanda won't make the team or how her training should look like, I have only two things to say: 1) you cannot say that cause you don't know that and 2) you have no idea of training. Go Amanda!!!! :)

As a former swimmer, I think she is wasting time doing cardio work in the gym. Save that for the pool. She should be doing strength and reflex drills in the gym, IMHO.

[sharpcheddarful]

@lginpdx I would bet money that she swam before this session and then will swim after...

Mucha dominada pero muy poca calidad en la ejecución . Son dominadas mal ejecutadas

[granojet]

@ignpp Es que no son dominadas, el trabajo es otro, no busca masa muscular, sino potencia para un solo movimiento, que es el de traer los brazos hacia el cuerpo, el otro muvimiento no le intereza porque no lo utiliza a la hora de nadar. Igual, hacer 42 de estas, por mas que sean mal hechas no creo que sea muy fácil para nadie...

Is your training partner President Obama? He sounds just like him.

This is not pull ups, these are cheating pull ups. And don't give me that more work = more whatever. BS, get her to do strict ones, and save her shoulders and elbows. Don't forget you trying to create a more efficient swimmer not a person who does WR pull ups.

[jhobbz45]

@bradbugado You're right. These are not pull ups and all of cross fit does these things. I don't know why.

[radbcc]

@bradbugado She is an Olympic gold medalist. You are criticizing and giving her advice from behind a keyboard. I think I will stick with Amanda on this one.

[nihonjinonnanochitsu]

@radbcc SHE'S NOT EVEN GOING TO MAKE THE TEAM FOR ENGLAND..MY PREDICTION.. LEZAK,TOO WONT MAKE THE TEAM.. WEBER GALE WILL.. PEIRSOL CALLED IT QUITS.. HE KNEW HE'D GET HIS BUTT KICKED IN ENGLAND.. GOOD MOVE AARON

[andyr798ken]

@bradbugado lmao, you sound so ignorant

[esbenherborg]

@bradbugado

They are not supposed to be "real pull ups" It is called a kipping pull up (she is not cheating, she is kipping), and is not meant to work the shoulders the same way as a traditional pull ups are. it is just as much a cardio exercise as it is a strength exercise. It is nonesense to compare the 2.

And she is impressive - a true athlete

[TennesseeLover23]

@bradbugado You suck I bet you can't even do this! Good job Amanda!!!! Go BS on your on wall

[nasaguy]

Incredible! Way to go Amanda. How many dead hang ones can she do?
