i wanted to start training for the track and field season. i am a shot putter, so i thought it would be a good idea to lift 10 lb free weights. i'm borrowing my brother's and i wanted to know some exercises i could do using them to strengthen my legs, waist, and arms, because all of those musceles are involved in throwing a shot put. and i had another question too, since i'm a girl, would i have to do less reps so i don't get "ripped", like look like a body builder? i don't want to look like the hulk's little sister, so how many reps do you think i should do? or does it even matter? i am also going to use the elliptical trainer we have at home 30 minutes a day to try and burn some more fat ( since summer started i kinda let myself go ). how should i go about doing this? and before you ask the question of how old i am let me just tell you, 14 and will be 15 in march.
First off, relax, you won't bulk up and look like a man, you simply don't have the testosterone for it. If a man and a woman lifted exactly the same equivelent amount of weight for the same reps, the man will develop lots more visible muscle than the woman. She'll get strong, but she won't bulge.
Next, you need to work everything. Ok, your legs are important, but without an equally strong back, you'll find yourself in trouble and prone to injury.
The basic lifts for best results are squat, deadlift, bench press, stiff leg deadlift, military press, pull-up, dips, bentover row, lunges, wood chopper, hyper-extensions.
