Do any of you know which swimming strokes use which muscles and which stroke is best for developing your pecs?
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Body builder huge? no, i haven't, but yes swimmers do have decent sized pecs, i think you need to realise that this is health and fitness and not bodybuilding. You cant asume that every person who mentions muscles wants to become some body builder. Im just trying to furhter improve my body, i dont want to get huge.Warboss Alex said:have you ever seen a swimmer with a huge muscular chest?

and you need to can that attitude of yours, kiddo.
I'm trying to make you think for yourself - are there any swimmers with muscular chests? yes? good - find out which strokes THEY do. some strokes will be better than others I guess.
find out what people you want to emulate are doing and do that. you're gonna get lots of opinions on here - best way to find out is practical life experience:
people should learn to make observations and draw conclusions - mr x eats far too many carbs and is fat, what does that tell you? mr y does slag heavy deadlifts and has huge traps even though he's never touched a shrug in his life? what does that tell you? etc

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Swimmers will do many diffrent strokes because there are diffrent events requireing diffrent strokes, and they may even work out aswell so Im not sure if thats going to work, thou i may just tyr out diffrent strokes and see what muscle groups hurt from each stroke.

You should swim as a form of cardio, not as a basis for gaining mass. It's a good way to get a low impact cardio excersise but it's not going to get you huge. I'm actually starting to swim like 5 laps (up and back is one) after I get done with my weight training in the morning to help burn some excess fat and it's good for your heart. Don't hold your breath (no pun intended) if you're planning on trying to get big from the pool though. The best way to do that was and always will be weight resistance training.

Breaststrokers used to be pretty muscular before the stroke got technically advanced and smooth. Butterfly is good if you're a very skilled swimmer, but otherwise I'd just stick to crawl as a form of cardio and work on your pecs in the weight room.
