As a formal personal trainer and now a doctor I am constantly asked "should I lift weights". The short answer is yes. The benefits are endless but most important is to prevent injury. If you are a runner, cyclist, golfer, or tennis player the primary way to get better at your sport is to perform that sport. Weight training can make the supporting muscles strong enough to maintain your form. Sport specific exercises are the way to go, if you want to complete an ironman heavy flat bench workouts are about as useful as a banana seat. Unbalanced body weight movements would serve you much better. Stay tunned for more details.
