I'm going to be able to take free weight training classes through my university for the next 7 weeks. I'll lift twice a week. I've seen a couple results of short term lifting, but I'm hoping to find more.

Please share your photos and successes here! :flowerforyou:

    I lift free weights 2 times each week. 7.5 for shoulder lifts, 15 lbs. for biceps, flys, and triceps, 10-12.5 for everything else. Gotta get a weight routine for my legs though. Any advice would be great.

    Hmmm...well, I added to weight-lifting workouts to my running routine about 2 months ago, and since then my running time has improved by almost 30 seconds per mile. I've definitely noticed a difference in strength, although I'm not seeing visible results quite yet, except maybe in my arms. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures for you, but I can tell you from previous experience and from watching friends that weight training is really the way to go for long term results. Good luck!

    Dont have progress photos sorry :/

    35lb kettlebell swings, squat - 120 back, deadlifting 135 average -- maxed 185 1 rep

    Legs -- do some free weight squats along with single leg squats with dumbbells and go into overhead presses :)
    Single leg squats also include your core. Do some box jumps too and work on your plyos

    BURPEEESS :)

    lifting also improved my running time as well as I feel my legs are stronger for the ground hits and also my abs are showing up
