I have mixed lifting with running for about 15 years with pretty good results but I am increasingly recognizing that lifing has been more beneficial than running to maintaining my fitness level. To that end, I would like to change my current mix of 2 lifting days and 3 running days per week to 3 lifting days and 2 running days. My current lifting program is:
Day 1 -- chest and triceps:
Bench press: 3x5 reps
Dumbbell press: 3x8
Skull crushers: 3x8
Close-grip bench: 3x8
Day 2 -- legs and back:
Deadlift: 3x5
Clean and jerk: 3x5
Squat: 3x5
My running days are usually about 30 minutes of intervals and I finish all five days with pull-ups and ab work.
My question is what kind of lifts would you recommend adding into the mix? I tend to prefer larger, multi-joint exercises and I'm certainly open to changing up what lifts get done on what day.
