Hi,
Great site with helpful info.
I'm a middle distance runner and cross country skier. My cardio is great but I decided this year I'd like to put a bit of muscle on my skinny bones. I'm 6'1" and 174 about 10% BF. I'm new to weight-lifting.
I have time to work out 3 days a week. My initial plan is 6 weeks of a full body workout Mon. Wed. Fri. I'm doing one exercise for each muscle group, 2 sets to failure in 8-12 reps. Also trying to fit in at least a 4th meal in the day.
My plan is to maybe switch to a 2 day split (Chest Back Shoulders / Arms Legs) doing two exercises per muscle group 2 sets to failure in 8-12. This would alternate Mon. Wed. Fri.
I train abs each workout, one exercise for lower, upper and obliques 3 sets to failure in 12-15 reps.
I run 5 to 6 miles on Tues. and Thurs. and 7-8 miles on Sunday.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
