hey, :)
I'm an athlete, I practice for 100m & 200m sprints and from yesterday I started going to gym. I need speed and strength but I don't want big muscles and weight ; muscles & weight = decrease in my speed. I also don't have enough money to follow a personal instructor. So, my question is how should I work out in gym - should I be lifting heavy weights or light weights. I need more strength not muscles and weight.
Age = 20
Gender = Male
Weight = 68kg
Goal = to complete 100m in 9.4 seconds
Medical Issues = None
Looking forward to your reply. :)
Really thanks in advance for answering my queries.

If you do not want to gain weight or increase muscular size, then it will be best for you to lift light weights. Light weights will not cause you to bulk up, but it can help you reduce your body fat percentage. Lowering your body fat percentage will help you run faster. That is why if you are a runner, then you will definitely benefit by lifting light weights. Keep in mind that you do not have to lift weights everyday. You can benefit by lifting light weights two or three times per week. Leave a Reply
