Sarah Talks Lifting Vid

nice video well spoken
funny that you mentioned it, today i was just advising a young swimmer who swims long distances not to make heavy lifting as a habit in the gym if he intends to continue competing in swimming at a higher level. heavy muscles from heavy lifting are not the ideal thing for a long distance swimmer, perhaps for a 50 m event they can help but not for long distances.
Again be careful starting lifts relying on your back (talking about deadlifts and squats) you are young and you may not feel the harm now but in the long run it is better to change your technique. i suggest you use the smith machine for squating heavy , you can position your legs in a way your back stays straight.

swimming/lifting
I am impressed that you train swimmers - it takes a lot to get into our "minds," as we tend to be very stubborn. Some of the best people I've known over the years were swimmers. Tough as nails, too!
You are right about lifting heavy not going well with swimming - cramp up too easily in the water. Although it makes for GREAT power on the sprints. I've become a pretty decent sprinter these days, which is ironic, because i was a ridiculously bad sprinter in my heyday.
What kind of training do you conduct? Strength and conditioning? I think that would be a sweet gig; I would love to work for a football team doing it.

it is tough to go into any young athlete's mind these days
actually i am not a trainer but through years of bodybuilding (35years) in different gyms all over the world , and competing in several sports (judo, track and field, powerlifting ..) +
my education (professor in biomedical engineering) i acquired lots of knowledge about training. and now i am a gym owner and many athletes come and ask me for tips and to be trained , i have an "engineering" approach to training backed by my experience and education, and years of trying and experimenting with many techniques (and still doing it) .
because of my stand against AAS many young guys in this forum send me messages with insults everyday (i could care less) but some ask for advice.
Some to be smart always dig some article to contradict me. i write articles myself and i know why people write articles so i am not going to debate this
but articles are for most of it not intended for general audience and to be used as guidelines and applied outside their context.
My training goals at the moment are to go back where i was when i was 30 years old! i am 50 now (and many would think it is not possible due to hormones droping bla bla but this is only on paper) i am getting there so my training goals are first trying to get some definition and loose some fat while building muscle slowly (i don't need mass that much just conditioning)and second to increase strength (but not my primary goal). i
i stay fit all year long i don't believe in excessive bulking and cutting etc... i just stay fit and eat healthy at all times.

My dad is an engineer too [electrical.] He is my favorite guy ever - he can design and build a house, which is remarkable. He invests cleverly in the stock-market and is a self-made man. He gives me incredible life advice, that is extremely analytical. Most importantly, I am his baby & he would do ANYTHING for me. Therefore, I can say with complete ease that i have a major soft spot for engineers.
I've noticed that engineers seem to be drawn to non-engineer types...my mom is the "intuitive" type, who can talk to anyone and figure out people's emotions.
I would say I'm a mix of the 2 b/c i am extremely analytical but also a people person. It's helped a lot in my career.
I used to swim with a guy who was 55, and could keep up with us. He had a great natural physique, so i believe it's possible to achieve goals later in life. It sounds like you have the knowledge and experience to excel at whatever your goals are.

thanx sarah that was nice...i would do anything for my daughter too!
my son (he is studying engineering his first year and he started lifting a year ago) handsome guy but a bit shy i don't mind if you teach him.... some lifting?
just kidding
This is the basic DISC profile...we study it alot in sales. Alot of engineers end up with "S's" doctors or nurses, teachers, because those types tend to be opposites...more intuitivie, caring, emotional, etc, and we usually try to complete ourselves in others. You should look into it if you haven't, it's an eye opener. Being an attorney you've probably seen similar, maybe by a different name.

I think, over time, a person can develop more into a DISC. As a female, I was taught through society to be more of an S, yet, i found that i preferred DISC...in my legal career, I've definitely become more analytical and aggressive, and less emotional/caring etc. [However, i do a lot of "social work" in criminal defense - a lot of my clients are on drugs, and i literally do an intervention every so often [although the intervention i do involves them going to jail for a few months to clean up].
but when it comes to trial, i am just CRAZY
no category there!
