Lochte appears unstoppable as a physical specimen. the strength he illustrates in this video is almost incomprehensible for a swimmer. His unique dry-land regimen is featured here and his physique looks more akin to MMA/UFC fighter than your standard issue Olympic Swimmer.
I do question whether he is training like a sprinter rather than a middle distance specialist. Is his current muscle volume exceeding what is needed thereby creating more weight in the water than efficiency?

"Im tired of getting second." That says it all. I really hope he steps it up next week. It would be best for the sport.
In my opinion with regards to muscle volume I think he will be okay as long as he keeps his flexibility.
He seems to have the flexibility, I am concerned about weight. :-S
How can he be tired of getting second when he's usually third, behind Phelps and Cseh?
The rankings do say that he hasn't topped them yet this year.
I would have to agree with your concerns about his weight... he's just has so much more bulk then other swimmers. He's doesn't have that long and lean muscled look like even the sprinters. Hell his body sometimes looks more like that of a body builder.
