Meat Hook Freestyle
Uploaded By: Garrett McCaffrey
Head coach of Lake Oswego Swim Club, Coley Stickels, was nice enough to coach me through a practice one afternoon during my visit. The first thing he did was fix my stroke. He likes to teach a style of freestyle that works for World Record holder Fred Bousquet, and he compares it to a meat hook.April 28, 2009

my couch says i almost would swim catchup freestyle, when i get tired.
is there a drill to train a windmill stroke?

there are swimmers with technique like this who don't look like they are swimming "straight arm" and there are swimmers who swim "straight arm" who are doing things not even similar. we need more vids like this to break it down for us because now that bousquet is having so much success and we are all speculating that Phelps might be moving toward this in his "new" technique, I think there will be a lot of confusion about what is really going on underwater.
and how does this compare to Janet Evans and what we call her "windmill straight arm" technique? distance. sprint. we need to come up with more terms like meathook to start differentiating and to start putting emphasis in the right places to get people to develop good technique when they try to make changes rather than having people start making changes based on what they think they see when they watch the best of the best racing at full speed.
great vid. bring us more!
I didn't hear anything about "velocitate" in the vid? You can leverage your body in the water to create "torque."
What language have we all agreed upon?
It doesn't matter how you term it as long as the swimmer understands what you are trying to get across.
You can't "torque" your body, the same way you can't "velocitate" down the pool. Try to pay attention to the language we've all agreed upon.

This video could potentially get me a scholarship. Hell yeah.
I want to see Garrett rip a 50!
That ain't meat hook. Thats just classic straight arm. Its ugly as hell too. But it clearly works for that guy. Bet he can't keep that up for a 200 though
You can find the Munoz fly video in my user videos. Here's a great example of meat hook freestyle:
We just did a little in warmups, etc to get the feel. Then we put it away from a year and progressed from it.
You absolutely have to figure it out as a coach. What type of athlete do you have? What type of athlete do you want to have in three years?
And Bousquet did release a DVD along with Cesar, Brett Hawke and Richard Quick. It came out real recently.
I have been playing with this type of freestyle since last summer and I have to say I have been getting results. I haven't mastered it by any means but I can definately see the benefits of it. Brett talks about this type of freestyle in the DVD I mentioned above
but seriously, is this a fusion of windmill and a longer more extened stroke?
