Okay I could use some feedback from several people, I would like to know what everyone thinks. When pulling in the butterfly, should one pull all the way through, part of the way through, or does it not matter? Also, should the pull be in a "keyhole" shape or just straight back? If you answer the question, please state why you are qualified to answer such a question in the proper fashion
@xXNEMOXxXD Okay, that's really interesting and probably not a lie because it's probably true and as a result you've got probably most national records for a 14 year old. It's totally not braggy if it's true, either, so congrats.
@TheJason135 Depends on the pool..... If it's an Olympic sized pool (like the one they swam in the video) then it's 1 lap... If it's a recreational pool, it's 2 laps.
@13hockeyswim13 Yeah the most they do in my swim meets is 100 fly, in state champ. they do 200 fly as well, but like, its short course so after like a 50, I'm so tired. xD
@13hockeyswim13 That's what I thought when I first started swimming. After my coach made me swim 200 fly's with the water cup belt on I got use to it and was able to swim fly (100 yards) in 54 seconds.
@holyshizzleitsconnor Haha well I just do summer club so it's not like we're overly-obsessive about training hah. Plus i have sports-induced asthma and bad shoulders so I couldn't do that like.. ever lol. But oh sweet your fast haha!
Michael Phelps is beastly fast there is no debating that, but he could be a whole lot faster! Coming into the wall he breathes every stroke. If he just put down his head and pulled w/o breathing the home stretch, he could've added a couple more years to the standing of his record.
@BfFlPrOdUcTiOnSxoxo He can breathe every stroke without losing time because he brings his body up so high, which most people can't do. I just came back today from a swim camp at a college and the head coach explained it like that. "Normal" people should breathe every two strokes because otherwise their body position will be bad.
Also unfortunate, i found YOUR posts on OTHER youtube vids and this one, as well as other commentators of videos articles by fucks such as urself that have nothing better to do than to right every1 who is wrong on the internet w/ their unfounded wisdom... get off ur fucking horse and get educated
did you think I went to the library to look up phelps' myostatin deficiency? of course i used google,if you had taken the time to look through the results of "Michael Phelps Myostatin Deficiency" you'll find an unfortunate coincidence that a Michael Paul Phelps, (not the swimmer Michael F Phelps) a Doctor,published a fair amt of work on muscle development in myostatin deficient SALMON, NOT the swimmer.
@sbsmth Michael Phelps the SWIMMER, IS listed many times on the internet for being myostatin deficient. I'm not going to bother looking at YOUR previous posts on OTHER videos, because I have a life.. unlike you.
when you consider the 2000 record stood for 8 years, until March of 2008, the advent of our beloved technically advanced suits (NOT ur fucking drugs that have been around since the 60s! OR the EPO available since the 80s) AND consider that the 2000 record of 8 years at 47.84 was broken 8 times in a period of 16 months... as speedo and tyr pushed newer more advanced suits onto the market until FINA finally cracked down in 2010
@sbsmth “Unfortunately, we rely on an inadequate doping system — doping agencies — for the proof,” Hall said. “We live in a society where you’re innocent until proven guilty — the key word being ‘proven.’ We don’t have any way of proving people are cheating.”
So now, you're not only arguing my points.. but also a 10 time Olympic medal winning swimmer?
First, synthetic EPO (EPO synthesized by the kidney stimulates red blood cell formation in the bone marrow, red blood cells in the blood carry oxygen to muscle cells primarily slow twitch oxydative muscle fibers such as those used in swimming and other aerobic sports) was first synthesized in the 80s,,, anabolic steroids are rly only beneficial for those using fast twitch glycolytic muscle fibers (weight lifters, football players, sprinters, etc...)
@sbsmth Wow, HUGE meltdown. Why do you keep mentioning EPO? I'm talking about steroids/hgh here. "Steroids are rly only beneficial for those using fast twitch fibers"? So you're saying steroids won't increase a swimmers performance? Lol. "I cited an incorrect record"? So Alain Bernard never set a WR time of 47.6 on the 21st of march 2008? Interesting. Like I said, .8 of a second in 20 years + the advent of the swimsuit isn't impressive. Compare that to the 1956 WR time of 55.4 to 1976 of 50 secs
On a leveled playing field, meaning taking only the swimmers at that meet into consideration, the best swimmer wins. Phelps won 8 gold medals. I'm interested in your point on his myostatin deficiency. I haven't been able to find any information regarding the deficiency from a credible source, but if you have one.... I won't hold my breath... I'd like to read it.
subsequent FINA suit regulations. So this onslaught of record breaking swims in 2008 can be explained by the recent (~2008) advances in suit hydrodynamics. What cannot be accounted for by these suits is Phelps dominance over athletes wearing the same suits he swam in. I don't necessarily mean body length+ victories every time, but the fact that he seemingly NEVER lost to athletes competing under identical conditions.
increased strength. Things that affect efficiency include drag and to a lesser extent aerobic capacity. Certainly EPO doping can improve aerobic capacity. Again, EPO, available for many years is not going to be the difference maker in 2008 anymore than it would have been in 2004. Drag has been significantly reduced recently by the suits, and in a sport where the athlete is 10% efficient (displacement to power expenditure ratio) this has HUGE performance implications and has led to...
Seeing as I'm commenting on a video of Phelps beating SWIMMING records, I'll concern myself w/ matters I care about and dispute the claim that Phelps smashed the record as a result of ingesting/injecting what have you pharmaceutical ergogenic aids. I can't prove that he hasn't taken them, you can't prove that he has. I'll go about making my point another way. Roids and other performance enhancing drugs such as EPO have been prevalent in swimming since the 80s...
@SexualStrat Phelps has passed ALL his drug tests and even offered to take additional tests to prove that he was clean. Our technology has vastly improved since before and we are probably taking in more food and nutrients than before because we are more aware of what is good for specific things. We have better facilities for bodybuilding, etc. Before making controversial claims, please find evidence and stop "proving" them with "it is 'common knowledge/common sense.'"
@dianel14 Oh wow! Phelps has passed ALL his drug tests has he? Amazing! He MUST be natural then. So then how did Marion Jones pass approx. ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY drug tests, while she was doping the entire time?? Drug tests are EASILY passed. Like I've said a million fucking times.. the only time an athlete gets a positive reading is when they fuck up their drug ratio.
I'm done repeating myself every day, over and over and over and over and over again. Read my previous comments.
@sbsmth What point or statement here are you disputing, kid? That Olympic gold medalists don't use performance enhancing drugs? That 18yo girls with backs the size of male bodybuilders don't use steroids? That Dara Torres never cheated? That Marion Jones wasn't drug tested? That she didn't pass those tests while she was doping? That Arnold would be where he is today without steroids? Seriously.. what are you trying to say? That my points aren't true or don't make any sense? Wtf is wrong with u?
@SexualStrat perhaps even before, yet in the year of 2008 swimming we saw 70 new records set, more than any previous year by a landslide and your trying to tell me they did it on drugs that have been around for 30 years? Can you think of something a little more recent to explain this explosion of record smashing performances? Such as the appearance of new technologically advanced suits designed to reduce drag in a sport in which performance truly benefits from increased efficiency more than..
@sbsmth Performance enhancing drugs have been around for over SIXTY years. Yes, no shit swimsuits make a difference. But FUCK-ALL. Compare WR times for the mens 100m freestyle from 1988 (48.42) to 2008 (47.6). Wow, BIG difference there after 20 years and "state of the art swimsuits".. NOT.
swimsuits < DRUGS.
Can't find any info on Phelps myostatin issue, ay? Why is it then when I google "Michael Phelps myostatin", 10,700 results show up?
@SexualStrat Second, 100 meters is a very short race, the second shortest distance in competitive swimming. The shorter the distance, the faster the swimmer is moving, the further a person goes in that 48.42-47.6=.82 seconds. Doing the math (simple algebra, i'm sure i don't have to write it out for you) the 47.6s swimmer finished 5 feet 3 inches ahead of the 1988 swimmer... almost a body length, a VERY large margin in such a short swim BUT you cited an incorrect record
@sbsmth ..what are you going to say about that improvement? That swimming was new back then in '56, that it was still evolving? That it wasn't because of the large amounts of steroids they were using in 76? Here.. just found these wise words from Gary Hall Jr. a 10x Olympic medalist (swimming): “Clearly we know now it wasn’t the suit that was causing all these world records to be broken (in 1976). It was copious amounts of steroids,”
@SexualStrat The record set at the '08 Beijing olympics was 47.05 by Eamon Sullivan, so now we're talking a difference of 48.42-47.05=1.37 seconds, which translates into Eamon finishing 9 feet 3 inches ahead of the 1988 swimmer... unless you're a swimmer yourself, I can't begin to tell you how humiliating a defeat of a bodylength and a half would be in the 100 meter free, so YES it HAS been a BIG drop in time, especially...
@sbsmth “Can the suit technology distract from another issue? I think it’s pretty convenient for those indulging in another issue.”
So we listen and he’s announcing it’s not the Speedo’s new LZR Racer swimsuit that let his co-athletes break 42 world records since only February this year. He stops short of saying that if we believed that crap about rocket-technology and drag-resistant innovation then we’re a bunch of nincompoops.
Steroids, not swimsuits, are what making swimmers swim faster.
i dont know how to interprete his breathing-every-stroke style. you sort of lose some water to hold onto when you try to breathe. doesnt it happen to everyone? so does he sacrifice catching and pushing more water for better aerobic condition? or is it that he actually catches better when he breathes?
@statsx When you're born with a myostatin deficiency, use steroids and hgh.. you can afford to have a less than perfect technique and still win gold medals. hth
@Gynecologist I just have common sense + Phelps myostatin deficiency is a known FACT. Why do you think he eats more in a day, then what most people eat in 5? Because he burns it off swimming several laps? Lol. Oh and you think all those Olympic swimmers (esp. the women) developed those HHHUUUGE lats hanging out of their swimsuits without drugs? Then why didn't swimmers from the 30's have backs like that? Have u seen how small those roided up German female swimmers from the 70's were...
@Gynecologist ...compared to the HUGE monsters (teenage girls) of today? Go find some pics of those "huge juiced up freaks" of the 70's and look at the difference. You'll laugh. The average female tennis player is now bigger than what they were. How? Because of DRUGS. They had weights back then, gyms, beef, chicken, tuna, fish, knowledge about building muscle... so why are athletes twice as muscular now than before? Upped dosages that's why. You people must be blind to not see/know that.
@SexualStrat Well I don't disagree that athletes of today take any supplement they can, and perhaps even "illegal" supplements up to the "legal" limit. However, it still sounds like a bit of supposition on your part. I have seen some of the workouts they go through and they are far more advanced than in the past. Google "Bousquet Auburn L'enquete" and check out the equipment and workouts that Bousquet uses. Also youtube search "Phelps Vertical Kick". Those are some serious workouts.
@Gynecologist Please stop making me laugh. I'm too tired right now for that. No "supplements" will make a woman be able to build a body like theirs WITHOUT steroids/hgh, no matter how much she trains and swallows whey protein.. and semen. There is no reason why they wouldn't be using drugs. You think passing a drug test is hard? Hell, even IF an athlete fucks up their drug ratio and gets a positive reading on the test, they get suspended for a while, then come back soon after & all is forgotten.
@SexualStrat its not just a suspension, they lose their titles they earned... using "earned" loosely because they still put in all the hard work every1 else did, legal or not. You can't take roids and sit on the couch and expect to pull gold medals. More and more people are involved in sports every year at younger ages, you increase the population you draw from and your going to increase the number of genetically endowed athletes like phelps and the rest of these elites you see at the olympics
@sbsmth They lose their titles huh? How about all the money they've made from swimming and sponsors? How about the world records they set? Look at Jessica Hardy. Gets done for steroids, comes back a year later and smashes the world records and everyone forgets that she is a drug cheat. Wtf is that? And don't make out like drugs just give you a MINOR advantage. It's ALL about drugs. They make the difference between someone not qualifying for the Olympics and someone winning gold.
@sbsmth You think Dara Torres at 41 wasn't using drugs when she came back to not only beat everyone else half her age, but also beat her own records she set when she was in her early 20's? You think it was because of her "genes"? You think the reason why those 20yo girls who have lats the size of male bodybuilders, is because of genes too? Wouldn't they be that wide and muscular from the moment they were born if it was because of genes like those very few babies born with a myostatin deficiency?
@sbsmth Yes, steroid users DO put in hard work. But would they be shattering world records without them? NO. Would they be well known without them? NO. Would Flo Jo be known today without steroids? NO. Would Usain Bolt be running 9.5s without them? NO. Would Arnold have won a Mr.Olympia without drugs? NO. Would he have been an actor without drugs? NO. Would he have been the governor of Cali without drugs? NO. It's ALL about DRUGS.
@SexualStrat I understand that you have a prejudice against swimmers these days, but where in the world are you getting your information? Common sense? Please. Give us some reputable sources. And where in the world did you get the idea that everything is about drugs? Also, the only drug that Phelps has been proven to use is marijuana which he only took once as far as we know. Marijuana IMPEDES athletic performance.
hey guys i have a question. so when i do my fly, both my coach and my dad said that instead of generating power from the hips when i kick, i'm bending my knees WAY too much and i'm barely using my hips. also, my coach said that when i do the fly, i need to make sure my butt comes outta the water which is like use my hips more, bu thow? any suggestions?
@MysticFro i know eh. and like right now for my fly. all my power comes from my arms and that's why i'll be like exhausted just swimming 50 m of fly. n it's so annoying.
@Toxic11Waste i realized that.. after you pointed it out but honestly? why are you talking shit? i wasn't paying attention the first time i watched this and i said i was wrong in the last comment? like do you really need to run your mouth to make yourself feel good? hope that gets you far.

did you think I went to the library to look up phelps' myostatin deficiency? of course i used google,if you had taken the time to look through the results of "Michael Phelps Myostatin Deficiency" you'll find an unfortunate coincidence that a Michael Paul Phelps, (not the swimmer Michael F Phelps) a Doctor,published a fair amt of work on muscle development in myostatin deficient SALMON, NOT the swimmer.
sbsmth 11 months ago
@sbsmth Michael Phelps the SWIMMER, IS listed many times on the internet for being myostatin deficient. I'm not going to bother looking at YOUR previous posts on OTHER videos, because I have a life.. unlike you.
So.. in closing - who's the charlatan now?

when you consider the 2000 record stood for 8 years, until March of 2008, the advent of our beloved technically advanced suits (NOT ur fucking drugs that have been around since the 60s! OR the EPO available since the 80s) AND consider that the 2000 record of 8 years at 47.84 was broken 8 times in a period of 16 months... as speedo and tyr pushed newer more advanced suits onto the market until FINA finally cracked down in 2010
wrap ur simple charlatan mind around that ya fuck

So now, you're not only arguing my points.. but also a 10 time Olympic medal winning swimmer?

First, synthetic EPO (EPO synthesized by the kidney stimulates red blood cell formation in the bone marrow, red blood cells in the blood carry oxygen to muscle cells primarily slow twitch oxydative muscle fibers such as those used in swimming and other aerobic sports) was first synthesized in the 80s,,, anabolic steroids are rly only beneficial for those using fast twitch glycolytic muscle fibers (weight lifters, football players, sprinters, etc...)
sbsmth 11 months ago
@sbsmth Wow, HUGE meltdown. Why do you keep mentioning EPO? I'm talking about steroids/hgh here. "Steroids are rly only beneficial for those using fast twitch fibers"? So you're saying steroids won't increase a swimmers performance? Lol. "I cited an incorrect record"? So Alain Bernard never set a WR time of 47.6 on the 21st of march 2008? Interesting. Like I said, .8 of a second in 20 years + the advent of the swimsuit isn't impressive. Compare that to the 1956 WR time of 55.4 to 1976 of 50 secs

On a leveled playing field, meaning taking only the swimmers at that meet into consideration, the best swimmer wins. Phelps won 8 gold medals. I'm interested in your point on his myostatin deficiency. I haven't been able to find any information regarding the deficiency from a credible source, but if you have one.... I won't hold my breath... I'd like to read it.
Cheers,

subsequent FINA suit regulations. So this onslaught of record breaking swims in 2008 can be explained by the recent (~2008) advances in suit hydrodynamics. What cannot be accounted for by these suits is Phelps dominance over athletes wearing the same suits he swam in. I don't necessarily mean body length+ victories every time, but the fact that he seemingly NEVER lost to athletes competing under identical conditions.
sbsmth 11 months ago
increased strength. Things that affect efficiency include drag and to a lesser extent aerobic capacity. Certainly EPO doping can improve aerobic capacity. Again, EPO, available for many years is not going to be the difference maker in 2008 anymore than it would have been in 2004. Drag has been significantly reduced recently by the suits, and in a sport where the athlete is 10% efficient (displacement to power expenditure ratio) this has HUGE performance implications and has led to...

Seeing as I'm commenting on a video of Phelps beating SWIMMING records, I'll concern myself w/ matters I care about and dispute the claim that Phelps smashed the record as a result of ingesting/injecting what have you pharmaceutical ergogenic aids. I can't prove that he hasn't taken them, you can't prove that he has. I'll go about making my point another way. Roids and other performance enhancing drugs such as EPO have been prevalent in swimming since the 80s...

@SexualStrat Phelps has passed ALL his drug tests and even offered to take additional tests to prove that he was clean. Our technology has vastly improved since before and we are probably taking in more food and nutrients than before because we are more aware of what is good for specific things. We have better facilities for bodybuilding, etc. Before making controversial claims, please find evidence and stop "proving" them with "it is 'common knowledge/common sense.'"
dianel14 11 months ago
@dianel14 Oh wow! Phelps has passed ALL his drug tests has he? Amazing! He MUST be natural then. So then how did Marion Jones pass approx. ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY drug tests, while she was doping the entire time?? Drug tests are EASILY passed. Like I've said a million fucking times.. the only time an athlete gets a positive reading is when they fuck up their drug ratio.
I'm done repeating myself every day, over and over and over and over and over again. Read my previous comments.

That 18yo girls with backs the size of male bodybuilders don't use steroids? That Dara Torres never cheated? That Marion Jones wasn't drug tested? That she didn't pass those tests while she was doping? That Arnold would be where he is today without steroids? Seriously.. what are you trying to say? That my points aren't true or don't make any sense? Wtf is wrong with u?

@SexualStrat perhaps even before, yet in the year of 2008 swimming we saw 70 new records set, more than any previous year by a landslide and your trying to tell me they did it on drugs that have been around for 30 years? Can you think of something a little more recent to explain this explosion of record smashing performances? Such as the appearance of new technologically advanced suits designed to reduce drag in a sport in which performance truly benefits from increased efficiency more than..
sbsmth 11 months ago
@sbsmth Performance enhancing drugs have been around for over SIXTY years. Yes, no shit swimsuits make a difference. But FUCK-ALL. Compare WR times for the mens 100m freestyle from 1988 (48.42) to 2008 (47.6). Wow, BIG difference there after 20 years and "state of the art swimsuits".. NOT.
swimsuits < DRUGS.
Can't find any info on Phelps myostatin issue, ay? Why is it then when I google "Michael Phelps myostatin", 10,700 results show up?
Gtg.. keep trying.
SexualStrat 11 months ago
@SexualStrat Second, 100 meters is a very short race, the second shortest distance in competitive swimming. The shorter the distance, the faster the swimmer is moving, the further a person goes in that 48.42-47.6=.82 seconds. Doing the math (simple algebra, i'm sure i don't have to write it out for you) the 47.6s swimmer finished 5 feet 3 inches ahead of the 1988 swimmer... almost a body length, a VERY large margin in such a short swim BUT you cited an incorrect record
sbsmth 11 months ago
@sbsmth ..what are you going to say about that improvement? That swimming was new back then in '56, that it was still evolving? That it wasn't because of the large amounts of steroids they were using in 76? Here.. just found these wise words from Gary Hall Jr. a 10x Olympic medalist (swimming): “Clearly we know now it wasn’t the suit that was causing all these world records to be broken (in 1976). It was copious amounts of steroids,”
SexualStrat 11 months ago
@SexualStrat The record set at the '08 Beijing olympics was 47.05 by Eamon Sullivan, so now we're talking a difference of 48.42-47.05=1.37 seconds, which translates into Eamon finishing 9 feet 3 inches ahead of the 1988 swimmer... unless you're a swimmer yourself, I can't begin to tell you how humiliating a defeat of a bodylength and a half would be in the 100 meter free, so YES it HAS been a BIG drop in time, especially...

@sbsmth “Can the suit technology distract from another issue? I think it’s pretty convenient for those indulging in another issue.”
So we listen and he’s announcing it’s not the Speedo’s new LZR Racer swimsuit that let his co-athletes break 42 world records since only February this year. He stops short of saying that if we believed that crap about rocket-technology and drag-resistant innovation then we’re a bunch of nincompoops.
Steroids, not swimsuits, are what making swimmers swim faster.

i dont know how to interprete his breathing-every-stroke style. you sort of lose some water to hold onto when you try to breathe. doesnt it happen to everyone? so does he sacrifice catching and pushing more water for better aerobic condition? or is it that he actually catches better when he breathes?

Then why didn't swimmers from the 30's have backs like that? Have u seen how small those roided up German female swimmers from the 70's were...
SexualStrat 11 months ago
@Gynecologist ...compared to the HUGE monsters (teenage girls) of today? Go find some pics of those "huge juiced up freaks" of the 70's and look at the difference. You'll laugh. The average female tennis player is now bigger than what they were. How? Because of DRUGS. They had weights back then, gyms, beef, chicken, tuna, fish, knowledge about building muscle... so why are athletes twice as muscular now than before? Upped dosages that's why. You people must be blind to not see/know that.
SexualStrat 11 months ago
@SexualStrat Well I don't disagree that athletes of today take any supplement they can, and perhaps even "illegal" supplements up to the "legal" limit. However, it still sounds like a bit of supposition on your part. I have seen some of the workouts they go through and they are far more advanced than in the past. Google "Bousquet Auburn L'enquete" and check out the equipment and workouts that Bousquet uses. Also youtube search "Phelps Vertical Kick". Those are some serious workouts.
Gynecologist 11 months ago
@Gynecologist Please stop making me laugh. I'm too tired right now for that. No "supplements" will make a woman be able to build a body like theirs WITHOUT steroids/hgh, no matter how much she trains and swallows whey protein.. and semen. There is no reason why they wouldn't be using drugs. You think passing a drug test is hard? Hell, even IF an athlete fucks up their drug ratio and gets a positive reading on the test, they get suspended for a while, then come back soon after & all is forgotten.
SexualStrat 11 months ago
@SexualStrat its not just a suspension, they lose their titles they earned... using "earned" loosely because they still put in all the hard work every1 else did, legal or not. You can't take roids and sit on the couch and expect to pull gold medals. More and more people are involved in sports every year at younger ages, you increase the population you draw from and your going to increase the number of genetically endowed athletes like phelps and the rest of these elites you see at the olympics
sbsmth 11 months ago
@sbsmth They lose their titles huh? How about all the money they've made from swimming and sponsors? How about the world records they set? Look at Jessica Hardy. Gets done for steroids, comes back a year later and smashes the world records and everyone forgets that she is a drug cheat. Wtf is that? And don't make out like drugs just give you a MINOR advantage. It's ALL about drugs. They make the difference between someone not qualifying for the Olympics and someone winning gold.
SexualStrat 11 months ago
@sbsmth You think Dara Torres at 41 wasn't using drugs when she came back to not only beat everyone else half her age, but also beat her own records she set when she was in her early 20's? You think it was because of her "genes"? You think the reason why those 20yo girls who have lats the size of male bodybuilders, is because of genes too? Wouldn't they be that wide and muscular from the moment they were born if it was because of genes like those very few babies born with a myostatin deficiency?
SexualStrat 11 months ago
@sbsmth Yes, steroid users DO put in hard work. But would they be shattering world records without them? NO. Would they be well known without them? NO. Would Flo Jo be known today without steroids? NO. Would Usain Bolt be running 9.5s without them? NO. Would Arnold have won a Mr.Olympia without drugs? NO. Would he have been an actor without drugs? NO. Would he have been the governor of Cali without drugs? NO. It's ALL about DRUGS.
SexualStrat 11 months ago
@SexualStrat I understand that you have a prejudice against swimmers these days, but where in the world are you getting your information? Common sense? Please. Give us some reputable sources. And where in the world did you get the idea that everything is about drugs? Also, the only drug that Phelps has been proven to use is marijuana which he only took once as far as we know. Marijuana IMPEDES athletic performance.
