I am Topolski, the inventor of the Early Vertical Forearm Trainer, we call Techpaddle.
You are about to watch the best swimmers in the world perform all four competitive strokes, along with some starts and turns. Watch them, because they all have something in common. The position they put their hand in before they start for stroke or get into the power phase of their stroke, is what I called setting it up. If you don't set up your stroke properly, if you continue to swim and practice back and forth back and forth putting in tons of outrage, and excruciating a lot of pains, suffering, that swimmers do, that great athletes do, you are setting yourself off for failure, or you are going to be in plateaus that you don't need to be in. You need to spend time working on slowly developing a position that puts your hand and forearm in a place that allows it to get in the most propulsive spot as possible.
Every one of these swimmers you are about to see does that. Their hand and forearm is in front of their shoulders on freestyle, butterfly, and in for a stroke. And in back stroke, it's also ahead of their shoulders. I want you to watch them, copy them, use our Early Vertical Forearm Trainers called the Techpaddles, and do the training slowly. It's that, do it as slow as they are doing in slow motion, very difficult to do, but it's important, because Early Vertical Forearm Trainers aren't to be used like hand paddles, not swim back and forth, back and forth with them.
Doing for a 50, right after you warm up, a 50 yard or a 50 meter swim after your main set, and then before you go home, use them again to try to ingrain that important position we called EVF. It's not a new concept, but I'll tell you what, training and learning how to use Early Vertical Forearm equipment, and how to use the drills and exercises to develop that crucial propulsive element is difficult.
I offer one day Early Vertical Forearm Training clinics, and just contact me and I'd be glad to come to your club, give you some pointers, help the coaches understand this technical, very, very different type of training, can help everybody on your swim team, break plateaus and enter into a new territory called speed, fast. That's all you want to be, fast. Good luck, and watch these clips, because I think you are going to really like them.
