Hey guys. Well, I tried doing cardio on separate times, but my schedule just dont allow it.

Instead, would it be ok to lift heavy 30 mins then cardio 30 mins? I am just cutting some fat and still trying to preserve muscle. SO my schedule pretty much looks like this


and every morning, walking for 20 mins on an empty stomach

mon - chest / cardio
tues - back / cardio
wed - legs / cardio
thurs - arms / abs / cardio
fri - shoulders /abs / cardio
sat - rest
sun - rest

30min / 30min


Just would like your opinion, good to go or tweak it up a bit. Going to do this for 2 months then bulk up again

I would put shoulders before arms first off, always train biggest groups first. Do you have no free time on weekends?
You could always combine chest/back, arms/shoulders then do

Mon: chest/back
Tues: cardio
Wed: legs
Thurs: cardio
Fri: shoulders/arms
Sat sun: more cardio if needed

Just do longer cardio tues/thurs instead of lifting

Overtraining, don't do resistance training more than 4 days a week. Some people can handle 5, but let the muscles recover at least 48 hours. Fat loss is mainly achieved on the diet, not how much you catabolize muscle in overtraining splits like this.

Overtraining is a CNS issue, not a muscular one.
