Is there anything I'm missing? Some body part I'm neglecting?<br><br>
My foremost goal of weight-training is to build strength. I wouldn't mind a little additional muscle but since I know I can't really build while dieting, I'd be quite happy with maintaining lean body mass as much as possible while losing weight.<br><br>
Haven't been good the last couple weeks with finals and term papers coming due, but this is what I was doing, and what I've just started resuming:<br>
I try to do a split.... Upper body, and then lower body/abs. I only have dumbbells 4-25 lb, ankle weights, & a bench, so it is limited to those types of exercises. I have a bad habit of skipping my lower body workouts that I'm trying to get over... but when it comes down to it and running, then the lower body strength training is going to be put on back burner. I aim to do 6-12 reps, though if I don't have enough weight for that in a particular exercise, then I'll just go to exhaust by reps. Two sets normally, I want to work on increasing that to three.<br><br><b>Upper Body</b><br>
