I swim one hour every day and was wondering if that might reduce my chances of putting on lean mass. |
First of swimming is a form of cardio and cardio does burn muscle if you do it too often. Unless you are an olympian, doing one hour of swimming everyday will effect you. If you try to swim less that might increase your chances of putting on lean muscle, only if you do resistance training |
