I found the same thing. Over the winter I started using a tactical strength program by Stewart Smith. It is the same stuff they use in the military, but I scaled it way back so I could complete it. For example, I do negative chinrups instead of weighted pull-ups. It really hits all the muscle groups and relies on way less equipment. It also blends cardio with strength. Same result, fat loss and actually a bit faster on the bike.

My son is an olympic lifter and he is my trainer. A good weightlifting coach will have you so focused on technique they won't let you lift anything before your form is good. I deadlift now with a bad back and I thought I would never do that. If you can't get a trainer, there are plenty of videos out there that show you the right way to lift.
