One weight training session per week?
Does anyone have positive experience with doing a single weight training session per week for both strength and some physique gains? Between my running and climbing it looks like it will be hard to fit more than one session in but I do want to make some strength gains, and look good. Any advice is appreciated, Thanks!
It's better than zero that's for sure. In my years of training I have found that one a week isn't enough to have noticeable gains unless you focus on one specific body part. Since you are already running and climbing perhaps you could focus on chest on that one day. This would likely produce good results since both of your other main fitness activities are primarily leg and arm exercises. I think climbing seriously engages the back and shoulders as well but not so much chest.
It's just an idea.
thanks for the input, I do feel like I may need to find a way to get a second day in. yes, climbing is very back heavy with a good amount of shoulders and biceps.
