Hi all,
First let me introduce myself, my name is Kyle from the UK. I am an ex-boxer (welterweight) who had some shoulder injuries/surgeries and over the past few years have been doing a little weight training (barbell/dumbbell) to get by. My wife has decided to take part in some triathlons of late and wanted me to have a go with her, the problem is these days I hate running without purpose (too much of it boxing) and I cant get to a pool easily (hours of work) but I can do some cycling at the weekend. I also do not want to look like a typical triathlete (yes my vanity coming into play).
I do not mind losing a bit of muscle and trimming down a bit again (14st at 5 foot 10 at the moment) to maybe 11-12st. I was wondering if anyone had experience or any thoughts of me simply doing the enter the kettlebell program and whenever I get the opportunity doing some specific skill training (swimming/cycling) whenever opportunity arises?
On a side note like a lot of people on this site I love deadlifting and wondered how you may go about plugging that into the training program, I was thinking maybe once a week on a Saturday and then taking the Sunday off or maybe a slow cycle.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
Kind regards
Kyle
