Ryan Lochte Training Secrets

[justbig]

@crowdemw That is a training fallacy. When Ryan pushes off the wall his knees go past his toes. He is very strong in that position has no knee problems from squatting. 

[happygilmore749]

He really did not do much in this video buy I will give him props he is a great swimmer

[justbig]

@happygilmore749 He did 6 rounds of both circuits. We only showed 1 round of each. He had 1 min of rest between each round.

[DeviousTF]

how high is that box?

[justbig]

@DeviousTF 46" maybe. Not sure.

[mrhash10]

what does the coach say at 0:22 ... jump? chop?

[justbig]

@mrhash10 Jump. Coaching cue for the clean.

[Aisha2178]

Shit if Phelps eats 12,000 cal/day I think Lochte just burned it in one circuit

[Aisha2178]

Jesus mother of G-d I'm so glad I don't have his job.

[missKim403]

such a babe.

[luanswan2002]

Ryan Lochte is building muscle endurance in this video so his muscles tire less quickly in a race.

[arman27harp]

How much is the height of the jump box?

[RandomGlass]

Great to see a beast like Lochte behind the scenes! Totally inspired me for training later! What's up with the chains though? Why not just dumbells?

[justbig]

@RandomGlass Harder at the top. Have to focus on the finish of the movement. Kind of like the end of long race when arms are feeling heavy.

[RandomGlass]

@justbig I see.... Suppose I could just use a stretchy band and dumbell....until I find some big chains...Thanks for the reply!

[missKim403]

@justbig oh man, i know that feeling at the end of a butterfly race

[TheHannahRose98]

Oh my goodness!! He is a stud:)

[1OOmattOO1]

I get tired and sore just by watching this D:

[KGfan7]

wow that looks tough

[BrandonToddCarr]

Go gators!

[luanswan2002]

1 dislike from Michael Phelps LOL!

[ItalianSWIMA]

Ryan muthafuckin lochte

[gophelpsgousa]

wow if you think about it this is pretty much his entire lifee, and the pool too of course. I give him so much credit

[The2CuteToni]

I seriously feel his pain...!! awwwwwwwww......soo hawt..!! =)

[JeahForLife]

Hey im a 13 year old agegrouper and i wanna build muscle but lean muscle and i dont want to use weight any tips or excersises that could help wiht upper body and legs

[justbig]

@JeahForLife lifting weights builds lean muscle.

[sadlydogscantfly]

@JeahForLife Planks, sit ups, push ups, that helps with your core which is really important

[justbig]

@sadlydogscantfly So does jumping, cleaning, and snatching. Your core is engaged more during a clean then it is during a sit-up.

[godevil1313]

@JeahForLife 13 year old? and lean muscle as in lean body not buffed up like you're on steroids, but good shape? If that's what you're looking for try swimming. Trains 97% of your body muscles and you won't become buffed up just in your arms so your muscle growth is symmetrical. Best ever.

[Rambuzzle]

@godevil1313

agegrouper meaning he swims in events that are 13-14 year olds only. From my understanding.

So he would already be swimming...

[GreenDayFan0011]

Off topic but fucking sexy

[traceurarts]

michael phelps dislike this vid....kidding:))

[justbig]

@traceurarts LOL!

[619reggie]

he trains like a football player!!!

[justbig]

@619reggie Nope. Like a world class swimmer.

[619reggie]

@justbig

I think it's a very unique workout for a swimmer, doing power workouts and 40yards dash!! Go Lochte!!

[justbig]

@619reggie I agree that it is unique but if you think about it this training develops a great vertical jump. Vertical jumping is highly related to starts, walls, and underwater dolphin kick. The weights are relevant to Ryan. The arm circuit is for his endurance during the IMs.  All relevant to swimming. It is unique and we have fun with it! Thanks for the comment!

[hahehahe26]

wow thats preety intense... how much does the rack weigh in 00:25 and the chains in 01:30?

[Misguidance]

[TheGoriva]

@moylink7

Just bee too

von Blues brothers

[kRsZtS]

if Lochte trains like this how sprinters can train?! 

[justbig]

@kRsZtS This would benefit sprinters too.

[kRsZtS]

@justbig of course that is obvious. i meant that they are supposed to be even stronger than Lochte and Lochte is unbelievable.

[scyscrapper99]

how often ryan does this per week??

[justbig]

@veno09 235 lbs

[luanswan2002]

This is awesome Lochte!! All this extra strength and you're gonna be able to push off those walls like a bullet!

[Kadeyfish]

beastin it... oh yuppp...

[aquajosh]

I see Shaune in there, you putting Vanderkaay and Hesen to work like Ryan yet?

[kar313]

arms and shoulders must be burned out...ouch

[justbig]

@kar313 Arms and shoulders do get burned out. Think about what happens during the IM. Arms and shoulders get burned out so you have to train for it.

[Surflifesaver1703]

wuuuhhuuuuu!!!!*_*

[EHSAquacat]

I will have my kids do this at morning dryland on Monday...The only bad thing? GATORS weight room...GO NOLES~ -;;--------;;---> lol
