[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 120427, member: 18023"] I don't think you read my starting post. I am not trying to avoid working out, though I did point out what with supraphysiological levels of testosterone you could grown muscle / strength without any exercise. I want to do a lot of cardio at least 5-6 days a week. I didn't state it, but I was hoping to burn about 1000+ calories, and that would be about 2 hours of biking a day. Mostly just to lose weight, and I enjoy the cardio. I had been focusing mostly on weight lifting, but I can't really do both as a lot of weightlifting focusing on my legs would really hurt the biking. BUT I don't want to lose a lot of strength. No doubt my quad muscle would stay in shape, that is the main muscle in biking. Maybe what I will try is weight training upper body, mid body twice a week while avoiding any weight lifting that targets my glutes / quads only doing those when I know I won't be out biking for a couple of days. Like too much rain. As long as i am biking, in winter I will switch over to running on a treadmill, assuming I don't have a knee problem doing that. IMO no one can do a heavy full body routine 4 days a week without getting in to overtraining. Now if you do some sort of split routine, that is different. [/QUOTE]
