If it is comfortable to lift weights do it. If not don't. That applies unless it is some type of exotic inection.

Are there really kettlebell competitions?

I really believe that inclines are better than bench presses for bodybuilding. I think the bench press is the most over used exercise ever invented. I would recommend doing at least as many incline presses as flat benches. Most men( including me) I know have over developed lower pecs and underdeveloped upper pecs. Also, as…

When I was starting out back in the sixties all bodybuilders would place there heels on a board when squating. Also, Olympic lifting shoes have a little bit of a heel. When powerlifting became popular less people used the wood blocks. For years I always noticed that the men who squated without the blocks would almost…

By lifting weights you are building muscle which will help you burn fat. Also, the weight lifting will help assure that most of the weight you lose will be fat and not muscle. There are ways you can make weight training burn more calories but if your already doing a lot of cardio I wouldn't worry about it. Just keep…

I'm 5'9" and my main road bike is a 55. I also have an old Raleigh that is a 58, which is a little too big but was always comfortable for me. I just had to be careful when straddling it!!! For my height I have shout legs and a long torso so what fits me might not fit you. Also, remember not everybody sizes their bikes the…

After thinking about it, I think it might just be better to sell your bike and buy either a hybrid or a bike that would cheaper to convert.

Sure, but you probably won't have a triple chain ring. If you have combination brakes and shifters it could get more expensive but every part you need is on Ebay for probably pennies on the dollar of what they cost new. Is your bike a 9-speed? If it is it won't cost much.

Great Job!

When I go to a new gym I can usually tell the women that use free weights by their facial expressions. Women that use free weights almost always exude a look of confidence. I have never met a woman that used free weights that didn't love going to the gym. I've met many women who just do cardio machines and they seem to…

What is KiK?

I'm new here but I have left other boards when they got to much about politics or religion. Nothing against either, but that is not why I joined this group.

Looks like a good you routine. I have couple of ideas you might consider. There are many right ways to work out and if somebody tells you their way is the best way then that proves they don't know what they are talking about. Anyway, if your just getting back into it, you might consider doing less exercises, but working…

I would think that power clean and press, or push press or jerk is the number one exercise even though some people might consider it two exercises. I got my first weight set at 13 years old. We didn't know anything about exercise. We just would try to lift as much as we could over our heads. Within a few months my brother…
