Subject: What are some good weight lifting excerises?

The past week i have focused on the running and biking and swimming to know where im at in my progress towards entering a triathlon as well i have been running 5k runs every weekend for about a month.

I was just curious about trying to put some weight lifting into my plan and was wondering what would be better to work on, id like to work on my upper body mainly as well as a little toning in the legs. If any one has some good ideas on workouts or excerises to increase muscle in those area's it would be greatly appriecaited. I know i need to do leg press's to help my legs with running hills.

Hi there,

You might get some better feedback in the Strength Training forum on the forums list page under other resources. 

Good luck and welcome to the jungle!

Then you did the right thing.  You will certainly get a lot of different responses from different people in this forum, depending on the boards inclination to debate today.

True, but Ron and Marma created that forum specifically to deal with the topic as discussions in this forum go nowhere and get heated very quickly.

And chances are, it would get moved there anyway as it specifically pertains to the topic.

If you enjoy weight lifting/resistance training then you could either post on the crossfiters united thread or PM Mikethebear, he can give you specific advice about that.

In case you don’t know FYI - to get better at running hills you need to: 1) run more and 2) run hills. Strength training has little to no impact on endurance training and while running is the one sport you might get some benefit by improve running economy via polymetrics for instance, the reality is that for the average AG runner who logs less then 50 mpw just by increasing your training load you will produce better/bigger adaptations to improve your endurance, speed AND economy.  Good luck

Actually posting the same thing in more than one forum is called "crossposting" and is not allowed.
