I am currently training for my first triathlon which is on July 17th of this year. It will be a half mile swi, 17 mile bike ride and 5k run. I am currently training at those distances and am working on my speed. I have been doing a weight program for size and strength for the last year and it has worked very well but i dont know whether or not i should continue this routine. Well here it is:
Chest
Week 1
Bench-6-5-4
Incline-6-5-4
Decline-6-5-4
Week 2
Bench-3x3
Incline-3x3
Decline-3x3
Shoulders
Arnold Presses-2x6
Military-3x6
lateral raises-3x8
shrugs-3x6
upright rows-2x6
Back
Pulldowns-3x6
bent rows-3x6
hypers-2x8
deadlift-6-5-4
Legs
Squat-10-6-5-4
Extensions-3x6
leg Curls-3x6
Stiff leg dl-3x6
calf raises-4x8
Arms

So any suggestions on whether I should keep my current routine or switch to a more endurance based one, i do want to keep some size though and not end up looking like the "typical triathlete",Thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments
