If you enjoy serious weight training, I'd recommend crossfit. You've probably already heard of it, but it uses many of the olympic lifts and is a fantastic group of people.

Serious? I try and redefine serious every time I have a heart to heart with all my metal friends! Actually, I have been "serious" for around 30 years, and now personal train with am emphasis on "serious" training and "serious" results.

My routine changes dramatically every 4-6 weeks, I also interject some HIT (high intensity training) along with a very high protein diet.

I am very willing to share ideas, tips, techniques, and lifting experiences with anyone who wants to expand their knowledge and results.

What I'd like is to find a way to incorporate somse crossfit into a gym workout -- would love to hear tips on using dumbbells instead of kettleballs, learning power moves without a spotter, etc.

I workout with weights alot. Barbells & dumbbells especially. I normally work 2 body parts per day, e.g chest & tris or back & bi's. I have also started to incorporate deadlifts & cleans into my routine. I try to do those at least 2x a week. This way I dont get bored and my body doesnt get used to the same movements.

I posted, but it didn't take. I do way too much cardio--and need to do serious weight training. I hope you post more. I don't have pink weights perse..but pretty light ones. 15 lb set is my heaviest.

Nothing beats like laying down on a Brench and pressing out a few but geting the balance down is a bit hard let alone press the weight up. on attempt of 160 lbs I ran out of juice and had to rolling the weight down to my hips, by then another gym person saw my predicament and help me put the bar back up to the starting postion Geez I felt pretty dumb by then. But I still like the feel of the weight go down and pushed up by me Bob Niemi

I like free weight better than weight machiene but with no training partner weight machiene are better than just doing cardio alone. Bob Niemi
