Well, after browsing the site recently and reading numerous articles about diet, training and various other things, I realised I signed up and made 4 posts back in 2004! Here's the original thread....

Oooops, cannot post a link

Since then I have done many things. I had a complete pec rupture back in around 2006/7 whilst benching 350lbs. After surgery I decided to quit the steroids and start something a little more active so began playing rec hockey. Stopped that a few years ago now and for the last 4 years I have been doing Crossfit pretty intensely. For various reasons, I decided to stop that around 8 weeks ago and go back to bodybuilding.

I am loving it so far and a lot of the things are coming back to me with regards to programming, although I am missing the high intensity cardio and currently consuming too many bad calories so have started to add some unwanted BF. That's what brought me back here, as I was searching for ways to compliment the lifting with some fat burning cardio, although I know I just need to do some calorie deficit to burn some fat.

After spending a few weeks settling in, I have decided to do a 4/5 day split (still working it out). For the last two weeks I have done..

Chest & Tri
Back and Bi
REST (maybe 40-60 minutes road bike)
Shoulders
Legs
Light cardio
Rest.

Currently around 82kg / 182lbs - unsure of BF %

I am open to suggestions with regards to hitting body parts more than once a week, although I am hitting them pretty hard when I do, although perhaps not as hard as when I made that first post .

Lots of people want to mix weights and cardio for almost as many different reasons. Sure there's a compromise there but many people seem to manage the compromise well

The "Bible" for this may be this book

Read the extended description and see what you think?

Hope this helps...
