I guess that proves he is not doping cuz he uses his body movement to its fullest potential instead of trying to swing his arm as fast as he can. That doesn't prove anything, he just has a different technique than most people. He has longer arms and bigger hands, and presumably gets a better catch than most swimmers, allowing him to really take advantage of the power and strength that he has, which also results in a slower turnover. He also has a ridiculously strong kick (not thorpedo-like, but close), which he takes full advantage of. | ||

Phelps has some physical advantages, but he isn`t a dolphin. A quick reply, but you know better than to assume that just because someone is a 'professional', that they somehow all subscribe to an extremely elaborate training regimen. Not everyone in the NFL trains like Walter Peyton and Deion Sanders did. Not every boxer trains like Jones Jr. did. And on and on. But as an Olympic example, let me tell you about a swimmer named Morgan Knabe. He was naturally pretty fast and has held some national records in the breaststroke. I used to get to watch this guy and how he'd prepare for an event and it was usually by showing up late for practice, getting in the pool, dogging it for a couple of laps, and then leaving to go back to bed. He made several Olympics due to his ability but routinely flamed out. He'd expect to make the finals based on previous results, but would instead bomb out before the semis. So yeah. All I'm saying is not all pro athletes are Michael Phelps. He really does deserve everything he is getting. | ||

1% talent, 99% hard work. Claiming that Phelps is training harder than everybody else is arrogant. Like the other one`s aren`t taking is seriously.. Yeah right. You can`t beat your biological clock. 12,000 calories, super-burgars or massive amounts of gatorade are nothing. Body needs rest. Sleeping, relaxing, taking a nap. That kind of rest. Im not saying that he uses dope, but no need to be arrogant to other swimmers claiming that Phelps trains harder than everybody else ( how do you know that?) and gets back on track by eating 12,000 calories per day. Hopefully Phelps isn`t watching the 2012 Olympics behind jail bars like Marion Jones atm. | ||

And he does sleep a lot. Considering that he doesn't go to school and presumably doesn't have much of a job (I think he assistant coaches or something), he can pretty much sleep all the time when he isn't swimming. And trust me, I bet he's getting a ton of sleep at Beijing. Not that I know his schedule, but he's probably spending the time in between sessions doing two things, eating, and then sleeping (and maybe shaving). That's pretty much all you do. And only_human is kind of right. I don't really see why he would want to. If he were a sprinter or something (I mean, look at bernard, that is ripped), but looking at Michael, you're never really struck by his muscle mass as much as the definition due to not having fat. | ||
