I just recently started doing weight training - a little more than 2 months ago.

This isn't answering your question, directly, but there is an indirect connection.

when I decided to start weight training (I'm 62, btw), I recognized two things (a) I don't know what I'm doing in the weight room and (b) I can injure myself if I do things wrong or try to do too much. So I am, for the time being, paying a trainer.

A couple of months in, and I am NOT lifting heavy weights. Mostly, my work is to strengthen my core and stretches, with relatively easy low-weight leg work, so that I can learn good form and later do heavy leg work without hurting myself.

I expect that when I do start lifting heavy, it will impact my riding and recovery times, but the core strengthening and relatively easy leg work I am doing now does not affect or limit my ability to ride.
