[QUOTE="Payday2, post: 34376, member: 16480"] Following some of the advice in this thread will most likely hurt someoe real bad. That website that was recommended is a total joke. If you want to lift weights for MX'ing, stick with the basics to start with. Basics are bench press, military press, bent rows or deadlifts, and squats. Use an EMPTY BAR to learn the proper form for these exercises. Any exercise can hurt you real bad if performed incorrectly. It's worth it to hire a good personal trainer for a session or two to get the form down. Keep your rep range a little higher, somewhere in the 10-15 range. This is a great starting point for beginners and is also a great rep range for building strenght and muscular endurance needed for MX. Work each exercise for 3-4 sets, and do the full workout 2 times a week, 3 days apart (example Monday and Thursday). Keep the rest down to a minute between sets. Cardio is a huge part of the equation. The key is finding an activity you enjoy (or hate the least) and use it. If you don't like to run, then don't, because you'll never stick to it if you don't enjoy it. Running, biking, stairclimbers, rowers, cross country skiing machines, etc., are all great cardio workouts. Shoot for 30 minutes to begin with, and work up to an hour per session as your stamina increases. I personally recommend 3 sessions a week. Don't forget to stretch, drink plenty of water, and eat good meals 4-6 times a day, spaced evenly throughout the day. Try to increase your protein intake to help your muscles recover and grow, and good luck. Disclaimer: This is my personalrecommendation to a beginner/novice trainer. Your fitness needs may be greater or less than what is recommended here. Check with your doctor before starting this any exercise program.
