Swimming and PLing(srs)

[twister3634]

Alright so
I love swimming
and I love Lifting..

If my split for lifting is
Sat Sun Tues Thurs

and I swim Mon Wed, like in swim meets,
will this effect my gainz at all, if I eat more?

I'm no expert on PL training along with another sport, but I would think that doing some form of training 6 days a week would be overkill no matter how many calories you ate. What does your split look like?

Hmm Im doing a westside type thing, Im Usually not too sore after my dynamic days, usually only after max efforrt days, so
Its like

Sunday Max Effort Squat, Lowerback, Leg Accessories..

Monday - Swim

Tuesday Max Effort bench, Lat Work, Arm Accessories

Wednesday Swim

Thursday Dynamic Squat, Speed Deads, Abs, Calves

saturday, Dynamic Bench, Inner Back, Neck, Armz

Try it and find out. There's no way too predict how well you can recover and make gains. Eat an ass load. If you want to do it, do it.

I was able to do all my lifts effectively except for squat for the 1 season in high school where I swam and powerlifted, and then I was swimming 6 times a week and lifting three times a week. So if you're just going twice a week swimming your program looks like its set up properly to work in with swimming.

swimming is just fine. You may want to decrease your accessory volume in your training split. But that may not even matter much if you're eating enough.
