Hi,

I am new to cycling. I ride consistently, 3 rides/week (2 on trainer, 1 outdoors).

My upper body is weak, especially my shoulders & upper back. They get sore from holding myself up on the bike.

So, I need to increase my strength so I don't get sore (and so I can handle the bike better), but how do I add in weight training for the upper back and shoulders when they are already sore from my bike riding?

My husband says just keep doing the cycling until my shoulders/back stop getting sore, then add the weights.

I'm not that patient! Any suggestions?

Thanks!
