How to swim fast?
1. Have no butt
2. Start catching water while recovering the arm
3. Use two starting techniques at once
How to swim SO fast i.e. what differentiates him from the field of other elite swimmers. He left out the obvious, Caeleb Dressel has unbelievable amounts of fast twitch muscles and is one of the most explosive athletes I've ever seen.
567bobb have you seen any research about that? Any official numbers of how much fast muscle fibers he has? I believe there are guys who are more gifted in terms of sprinting but still swim slower. It reminds me of speculations about Michael Phelps ten years ago. Everyone was like: “OMG, look at him, he has such long arms and short legs with large feet! That must be the reason he is so dominating...”. While it might really help, I’m not sure that any of those can be more important than hard work, determination and just ability to understand what it takes to swim fast.
Okay, so obviously I'm making assumptions about the fast twitch thing based on his explosiveness. The reason I'm making these assumptions is that he is the most naturally explosive athlete I have ever seen. I don't know what you mean there are guys who are more gifted in terms of sprinting; he's the fastest sprinter and doesn't train only for the sprints! He swims for Florida and Greg Troy has repeatedly discussed how he has Caeleb do tons of yardage! There's a huge difference between strength and explosiveness, because strength is how much force you can generate total whereas power/explosiveness is your rate of force production.
Caeleb took the whole summer off before going to college and then still won NCAAs in the 50 free; yes he works hard but nobody who isn't insanely gifted could do that. He didn't win the 100 that year; he got 11th.
His vertical is 41"; Lebron James, in a sport where vertical is far more important, 40". NBA average: 28.5".
I agree that Caeleb is a very hard worker, and he understands what it takes to swim fast. His hard work is what now allows him to swim so fast in things other than the 50. But his sprint technique relies on levels of power that most people can't come close to generating. Mimicking his technique is definitely possible, but you'll still be so much lower in the water and creating so much more drag unless you can generate the same power output that he can. Michael Phelps has a very different technique suited for his body type and his strengths; he rides his kick 100% and focuses way more on efficiency. Michael Phelps's build, as you're discussing, was indeed a huge factor to why he swims at an elite level, but nearly every person who swims at the elite level has that kind of build. There are subtle differences, i.e. his flexibility, which separate him physically from most of those elite athletes, but it is his mental edge (focus, pure determination/competitiveness, etc) that gave him that extra edge. But he CAN'T swim the same way Dressel can. He doesn't have the same power levels. And he trained at an elite level, which most people never come close to.
So no, I haven't seen any specific research, but my arguments were all very well thought out. In my opinion I'm not at all wrong for thinking what I think on the matter given the qualitative observations one can make by watching and thinking at a deeper level.
WOW I sound like an a-hole lol... but yeah still that's my stance on the matter
who is a more naturally gifted sprinter then caeleb ?........mental tuffness and pure natural ability make a dressel or a phelps......two in 7.4 billon........
What a stupid comment.
The most clinical sports analysis of....butts. lol Streamline is very important in swimming.
Ryan Murphy is a legend
@AJ XOXO he never said that...he was implying about the Russians, and China is no slouch either, lmao...big state sponsored doping programs, so sad, pathetic and disgusting... so hold your "L" for them..... and take this : czcams.com/video/CvlOX_QUjmE/video.html
@AJ XOXO jealous much???? #JealousyIsTheGreenEyedMonster #DoBetter #BigStateSponsoredDOPERSRussiaAndChina #CaughtThrowThemOutToNeverCompeteAgain... #TeamUsa
Yeah i mean for a sprinter ripped body, fast recovery, and a great start
Dressel in therapy: “I’m the fastest swimmer in the world?”
Therapist: “Why are you unhappy?”
Dressel: “I have no butt”.
Ryan Murphy "I have a bubble butt"
😂
We need more proof of this bubble butt, body issue next year please Ryan
Ok Tim Drake...
What’re the two diving styles Ryan’s talking about?
My assumption is that he refers to the slingshot stance and the quick reaction stance. The first involves leaning back on the marks to load the back leg for a longer kick off the wedge. The second involves pulling the shoulders downward, initiating a forward rolling motion once one reacts to the gun, with the additional benefit of bending the elbows for a greater upper body push.
@@realistic_delinquent he never said that...he was implying about the dang Russians, China is no slouch either, lmao...big state sponsored doping programs, so sad, pathetic and disgusting... so hold your "L" for them..... and take this biatch : czcams.com/video/CvlOX_QUjmE/video.html
Alexa play “Bubble Butt” by Major Laser.
Michael Phelps guys. cmon
💀💀💀💀 no butt
Caeleb and Ryan are the same person.
Ryan is bigger than Caeleb
certainly not, murphy king of backstroke, caleb fly and free different style, different strokes
sus
Position of the spine.... such BS. What about dolphins, are they in disadvantage because they have no straight backs? This guys logic is total BS. More sad is that the zombies commenting on this video does not think. Just say "aaa its true he has no butt". So what, this does not matter. Some individual thought would be appreciated.
Lokra technically a dolphin has no butt
I honestly think Ryan's response is right on the money in several ways. In terms of things that are controllable, he nails almost everything I could think of saying myself. Caeleb does have a naturally very neutrally positioned spine and a very small butt, with hip flexor that are naturally in a more extended position such that his body is in a much straighter alignment, which reduces his drag a lot in the water effortlessly. Ryan is saying that while he can get into these very aerodynamic positions, it requires a lot more strain on his body. While you think of a dolphin as curved, it actually swims in a very neutral positioning, and only curves like that when it jumps, which is the most common picture of a dolphin somebody will see. Now, there's a good chance you're trolling so I'll leave it at that but while Ryan may not have gone into any serious depth with his answer, he did give a very logical answer nonetheless.
Lokra I'm not sure what level of swimming knowledge you have, but Ryan Murphy himself is a world record holder so I'd rather trust his opinion and thoughts (no offence meant ahaha just Ryan probably has a lot more swimming knowledge?), and the flat back is a must for fast swimming, a concave back has water sitting in the lower backs curve and adds to drag/weight, whereas a convex back position could mean a lack of hip flexibility and a weaker kick. A neutral spine requires a huge amount of flexibility and strength to maintain in high intensity sprints so it's definitely a factor that would help Dressel swim fast... The people commenting are also not zombies for agreeing, they're simply accepting what a world record holding swimmer is telling them ABOUT swimming which is the smart thing to do hahaha
"this guy"
You would think his logic would be justified after knowing he won the 100 and 200 back at the ncaa division one championships with american records for 4 straight years in both events plus breaking Aaron Piersol’s world record in the 100m back and gold in the 100m and 200m back
goes to show how you don’t think about what you speak of
