From my experience, I find that the higher rep realm is easier to maintain and I get injured less. When I'm in that 1-5 rep area I dread doing that and I find that I tweak various elbow and shoulder injuries from playing baseball & football years ago.
Good stuff regardless. I especially like ChrisG's routine because a) I absolutely hate lower body work, b) lower body work hampers any riding you want to do in the short term, and c) I only have dumbbells in my basement. Plus, the benefits of lower body work on riding are highly debated, with nothing I've read supporting that there's any correlation at all.
