Woudnt worry about how much you lift unless you plan to be a power lifter.
Strong people are harder to kill than weak people, and more useful in general. - Mark Rippetoe
I've got powerlifting oriented goals but right now it's about not being a complete fatass. My short term goal is a thousand pound 3 lift total which I'll test at the end of my LP if I don't make that total before then. Long term is a 1500 total at a body weight of 275lbs.
Which gym do you go to?
"But when it's time to fight, you fight like you are the third monkey on the ramp to Noah's Ark; and brother, it's startin' to rain."
We were going to Greeley Health & Fitness on 10th and then my wife decided she wanted to start lifting but didn't want to do so at the gym so I've got a rack and deadlift platform in our basement that I've been using.
Pressure in my neck/headache caused me to goto the doctor blood pressure was 180/115 so now I'm on blood pressure meds
Still walking everyday doing a minor diet also
After months of just cardio, I recently started lifting again. I am doing what I call an 8x8 routine, eight sets of eight reps, with 30 second rests between each set. You use a single weight that you can barely complete all eight reps with, although I've modified it to up the weight of the first 4 sets each week. I try to limit rest between lifts to 90 seconds, but depending on traffic at the gym, sometimes it's longer.
My routine is Monday upper, Tuesday lower, Wednesday cardio, Thursday upper, Friday lower. I typically do 5 lifts per session, with a mile run for warmup, and any other cardio I can squeeze in. So far I'm loving the routine, and it's building some great strength/stamina.

Anybody do the mud run's? I am signed up for the one at the Budweiser event center in September. I have been working out serious for a while bit now I'm really working on the cardio and getting ready to run.
Which one did you sign up for? I've run one, and seen videos of a lot of others. For the most part, it looks like any of the 5k ones aren't really all that great as far as a challenge. We did the Devil Dash last year in September. It was fun, and had obstacles I couldn't reproduce just running around the neighborhood. Going up the huge hill was by far the most difficult. Other than that, you got wet in the beginning, but there wasn't really any MUD until the last 1/4 mile or so. I'd like to do the Tough Mudder, which seems to be the king of all mud runs, but I'm afraid it might be tougher than I am.
"There are no finger prints under water."
Came in here to ask if anyone has any good heavy bag work out. I have one, and have worked out with it in the past, but I find that I don't really know what to do after a certain amount of time. I'd really like to be able to get more of an upper body/whole body cardio work out to do on days when I don't do a run. I'd really like some direction if anyone has any tips or can steer me in the right direction. Anyone?
Off to Youtube in the mean time.

I'd say your best bet would be to get a week pass to a place like LA boxing or something, to give you an idea of a good bag workout. While not the best for actual "training", their thousand calorie per hour workout is pretty legit.
