  • One of the major reasons Phelps can be that flexible is cause he is not tensing up his muscles which allows have more flex. He lets his body transfer all the energy that generates from the hips all the way to the tip of his toes. Any athlete can learn from his motion and adapt to their sport.

  • @gorillaman10456 its all in the waist

  • fucken fish :D

  • @Milanotjuh you are right, but the position of the leg is determined by the angle of the pelvis and lower back, that is where the real power comes from. Though the stroke frequency is about the same speed, Phelps is much more flexible overall and is able to generate a greater amplitude in his wavelength, resulting in more power= more faster (sic)

  • @gorillaman10456 look closer, it has more to do with the position of the legs more than anything

  • i think i got my butterfly better by like 10% im going for a 24 for my 50 fly

  • alright... yes we know phelps has a bigger ass...

  • 90% of phelps' kick comes from his ankles

  • my shoulder dislocates wen i swim butterfly =/

  • dont think everyone can bend their knees like that.
