Here's a link to the upper body workout on Albee's website.

All of the sets are 10-30 reps, but none of the exercises seem particularly unique or sport specific to MX. The workout is premised by the statement that it is a general workout, and may not be suited to everyone.

I'm with Zio that no harm can come from heavy lifting, but I've heard alot of the propaganda against heavy weights for MX. I have not heard a legitimate reason why, so if anyone knows the facts, please clue us in.

It seems that any weight training routine should be targeted as much to the individual's body type as it is to the sport. Your workout will vary depending on whether you are an endomorph, ectomorph or mesomorph (fat, skinny or muscular). An ectomorph (skinny guy) would get more out of a heavy routine to build peak strength. The endomorph or mesomorph would get more sport-specific gains from higher reps.
