Weighted Pull-Ups
Use heavy weighted pull-ups to build a strength reserve for swimming; Ross mentions doing about 60 kg clean and training one-rep max or 2–3 rep max work so each stroke uses a smaller percentage of maximal pulling capacity.

“So now I drilling my one rep max on pull ups knowing that as that improves then all of a sudden when I swimming swimming almost being a unilateral form of a lap pull down with each arm Every single stroke and the force that I generate is a smaller percentage of what I'm capable of because I have a larger one rep max on pull ups as well.”
