do you think you could get a good physique just with swimming?

[BenjiDaldes]

thinking of swapping my gym membership for a pool membership

[pengh]

Why even lift when it's all about the chlorine

[GordonXXX]

yes but you'd have to do A LOT of hard, fast swimming. like Olympic or Full-Time Beach Lifeguard level - which you probably won't.

[SwimBrah]

decently fit yes, been there done that, it doesnt hold a candle to lifting for the average person though

[atjoblin]

Otter mode...

[meanstringbean]

For chicks? Yea


To impress anyone here? Lol no

[SwimBrah]

swimming can help with that, doesnt expect to look like a top athlete or a model though

[OliverHeldens]

If you can keep bodyfat down, it's definitely possible to get a great looking body from swimming. And you work everything with swimming and have a ton of full body strength. But an intense swimming workout makes you so hungry that it's really hard to cut weight.

I swam competitively for 18 years and didn't really ever become low BF from it. But many people I swam with did. It required 2-3 hour workouts everyday though.

[Silencespeaks]

Yes

Last year I did a lot of swimming. 20 laps several days a week.

Stopped early this year because of COVID and haven’t gone back but I really miss it.

[backinthegymbro]

Especially while wearing an 80 lbs resistance vest.

[A-GAME]

Yes. You could build a good, healthy physique that women love. But it's 100% twink mode.

[Ratfish]

why impress women when it's all about the male attention from the misc?

[wd0694820]

By normie standards yes but by the standards of this site 100% no

[Scottybby]

Yes

This. But it can be incredibly rewarding.

[Silencespeaks]

FIFY m8...

[wasp9166]

No,but diet and pushups you can

[Samraiwise]

It's possible but many swimmers I know also lift weights.

So I couldn't know for sure until somebody actually starts it.

Good luck, always try new things otherwise life is just a long and boring journey.

[RagnarChadbrok]

nah. unless you're not natty, not natty people can sit around doing nothing all day and mog natty lifters

[ErnieMccracken]

Swimming is such a dink tease. Super healthy and spares your joints, tendons, and muscles from injury/stress.


But you'll forever be DYEL mode.

[RonaldMcflurry]

No.

nah. unless you're not natty, not natty people can sit around doing nothing all day and mog natty lifters

Nah. They still have to lift a few times a week and keep a halfway decent diet to mog someone with a perfect diet and consitent training. It is a lot easier though.

[ImpressiveGainz]

Considering what the average American male looks like, "a good physique" just means you aren't a fat tub of lard, so yes.

[Legz422]

Yes. You could build a good, healthy physique that women love. But it's 100% twink mode.

Ain't nothing wrong with otter mode!

[ukr1410]

Yeah I mostly only doing swimming (except due to Covid) and it's a good form of workout.
