Mix it up!

For over two months I've been matched up with the same weight lifting partner.  Lately we've been focusing on the "strength" phase of our lifting.  On Friday our duo joined two other swimmers for a portion of the lift.  It made me realize the value of switching up lifting partners every so often.  The lesson can be used on swim workouts as well.  Since joining CW, I've accomplished things I didn't know I could do in the pool.  Sometimes because it was simply written on the workout and other times because I was pushed by another athlete who had a greater capacity or speed than me.  These situations make me break outside the boundries I've created in my training.

On Friday I increased my leg press to 400lbs x 4 reps!  That's a massive increase for me!  My other exercises increased as well.  Just gotta mix it up every so often!
