    Swimming Strength and Conditioning with University of Buffalo's Angelo Buono

    Angelo T. Buono, B.S, CSCS, is the Assistant Sports Performance Coach at the University of Buffalo where he works with Cross Country, Softball, Swimming and Diving, Women’s Tennis, and Track and Field. He has coached the 2017,2018 Women’s Tennis MAC Champions, 2014 Women’s Soccer MAC Champions, multiple individual MAC Track and Field, Swimming and Diving champions. In this episode, Angelo and I explore the misconceptions of strength and conditioning pertaining to swimmers and how important it is to utilize the weight room to develop strength, power, and build up muscular imbalances. Some topics include: - How can the weight room positively impact swimmers in regards to strength, power output, and injury reduction - Is there any correlation between energy systems used in S&C and swimming? - What physiological adaptations of strength training can help swimmers? - Swimmers at the high school level typically come in very strong aerobically but lack strength and power - why is strength and power essential to be a good swimmer? - In regards to rest and taper before a meet: Do you completely drop all lifting at any point? If so, how far out from competition day do you stop? If you don’t completely remove lifting how much and at what speed do you reduce volume and/or intensity? - Angelo's opinion of the top 5 exercises that all swimmers should be doing regardless of distance/stroke. - Recovery Advice
