Ready to rethink how strength work fits into your swim life? We welcome strength coach Jack Brown of Aqua Strength Performance to Torpedo Swimtalk Podcast and unpack a smarter approach to dryland that actually shows up on the clock. Jack blends a swimmer’s background with strength and conditioning chops to build programs that scale across youth, college, and masters athletes—without trashing shoulders, legs, or motivation.
We walk through his full-body training model built around movement patterns rather than body parts, and why that matters for swimmers. Jack explains how he doses sessions across the week, why two to three lifts is a strong baseline, and how five-day training can work when volume and intensity are managed. He breaks down meet-week adjustments—cut reps, keep intensity, boost power—so you feel primed instead of flat. We also dive into isometrics as a low-fatigue lever for tendon health, range of motion, and recovery, and how to weave one to two ISO movements into any session to feel better fast.
Chasing that first pull-up? Jack lays out a step-by-step path from lat pulldowns to band-assisted reps to slow eccentrics and finally a clean neutral or chin-up. For masters swimmers, he shares a measured blueprint: purposeful warmups, four primary lifts, simple accessories, and a seven-out-of-ten effort that respects real life while moving strength and mobility forward. Throughout, Jack’s mantra holds steady—keep the goal the goal—so the weight room builds speed, power, and durability where it counts most: in the water.
