jonathanweaver Posts: 576 Joined: 2004/06/14	2004/09/03, 12:18 PM Cardio days kinda count as rest days. They are days without weight lifting. My ft program has Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri as weight days, and the others off. I do my cardio and Karate on Wed, Fri, Sat. Sunday is completely off. -------------- I will never grow up, just old.

jonathanweaver Posts: 576 Joined: 2004/06/14	2004/09/03, 12:42 PM LOL I asked the same question when I started. I didn't know when to do the cardio, and I knew that my wife wouldn't want to give up any more time than she already does. -------------- I will never grow up, just old. Jonathan

deadheadted Posts: 123 Joined: 2004/05/31	2004/09/03, 02:50 PM I'd recommed cutting abs down to 1 day a week - until you get rid of the fat on your stomach, doing ab work will just make your stomach bulgier. I wouldn't want to do chest, shoulders, triceps, and abs all in one day. If you're working each muscle group hard, you're gonna have progressively subpar results with each progressive group. I've tried shoulders and triceps on the same day, and no matter which I did first, the other suffered greatly. Personally, I'd cut out the cardio and spread out the weights over a few more days. You'll have much more intense (and hopefully productive) workouts.
