and since you are his trainer you would know this... actually i swam with NBAC for two years and yes.. he did use weights.. still does to this day... actually.. you aren't a swimmer if you DON'T use.. every swimmer does.. it's just silly these days if you DON'T...google Alain Bernard, Brendan Hansen, Popov...all used weights..wink
IGN Sports: You're 6' 4", about 200 pounds. Is your physique all from swimming, or do you hit the weights?
Michael Phelps: I've never lifted a single weight in my life. It's all from training in the water, period. That's not to say I wouldn't lift in the future, but now, no.
"Chasing Michael Phelps" is the title of my website. It's about trying to become a world class swimmer and I'm documenting how I plan to achieve that. Weight training happens to be a part of the process.
hey man...i trained for the '92 Olympics.. back in the DIZZAY hehe.. now i am 39 and recovering from a broken vertebrae in my neck...now i am taking a great muslce shake by Mass Tech.. hitting the weights and swimming my laps like a good boy and bro.. at 39, i feel better and look better than Alain Bernard! LOL or even when i was swimming at 21... but i watched your vid here man and i am throwing all the good juju vibes your way mate...rock out! :) we are pulling for ya:)
I'm sorry, what is it exactly that we're supposed to be seeing? Isn't Phelps a swimmer? I don't see you in a pool at all, just weight training. Are you chasing him in the gym?
PS what's this song?

Michael Phelps hasn't picked up a single weight in his life. Read up. Good luck.

Make sure you "GOOGLE" before typing here. Did Alain or Popov win eight Olympic medals? I don't think so.
