I've read a bunch information that has been posted here and tried to incorporate what I've read into my weight training. So, I wanted to post this and see what you guys thought. I've just started lifting again for the off-season. I have not been hitting my max on weights yet, just trying to get my body back into the routine. I want to lift to improve power.
I have been lifting 3 days a week, usually MWF and if it's nice out on the weekend I'll do a ride but nothing serious. I start my workout with 10 minutes on the rowing machine to warm up, usually get about 2300 meters in. I go throught the following weight machines, but not in any real order except that I do a leg machine followed by upper body. Each machine I do 3 sets of 9 or 10 reps, trying to max out at the end of each set.
Leg Press
Leg Curls
Leg Extensions
Hack Machine
Low Row
High Row
Chest machine. (don't know what it's called....I call it the butterfly)
some form of abs. Either hanging from the pull up bar and curling my legs up, or using the ab thingy that supports you at the waist. (love those great descriptions....ink: )
Any opinions? Am I missing something that needs to be worked out for riding?
Thanks
