Subject: Weight training while Tri training? I can't seem to find any good info on the BT site, or anywhere else on the web for that matter, for good resistance workout recommendations.
I don't mean just a few weight sessions for tri-specific muscle groups thrown in now and then, but total body 2-3 day/week workouts @30-60 min to maintain the gains I made over the past 4 years and to even continue to add bulk.
I know bulking isn't ideal for a triathlete, but I don't want to give up what sculpting I have, which was gained through low rep high weight sessions.
I had a fitness assessment at my local YMCA (since I've been rather sedentary for the past 6-12 mo ) and was talked into using the Techno-Gym circuit machines.
I've never used machines, just did heavy training at home on a bench with Olympic weights doing the core excercises; squats, presses, dips, pull-ups with a isolation thrown in (bicep/tricep, calves, shoulder raises/presses ) and of course, heavy resistance ab training 3 days/week.
Any thoughts on what type/frequency/intensity weight training would be best so as not to completely sabotoge my Tri training and burn me out trying to do too much?
Thanks,
you guys (and gals ) are great! |
