Subject: RE: How to coordinate strength training with swim/bike/run work outsI also do CrossFit as my strength training. I usually do it in the morning, 3 days on/1 day off. But since CrossFit is a full-body exercise program only, using all midrange exercise movements (pullups, pushups, squats, lunges, burpees, running, etc.) sometimes I will do some extra sets of bodybuilding exercises (i.e. isolations...bicep curls, tricep extensions, pec deck, shrugs, etc.) but I'll do them in the evening before my tri training. I just don't go too hard because I don't want to use up my strength before my tri stuff. That's the formula I used to get lean last fall. Typical week for me... Mon - AM 20 min CF PM 1 hour Tri stuff
Tue - AM 20 min CF PM 1 hour Tri stuff
Wed - AM 20 min CF PM 1 hour Tri stuff/Iso lifts
Thu - PM 1 hour Tri stuff/Iso lifts
Fri - AM 20 min CF PM 1 hour Tri stuff
Sat - Long run/CF
Sun - Long bike/CF
