    too much cardio???

    i just want some opinions on my workout schedule to see if i'm overcardioing(if thats a word, i guess it is now)

    stats
    18
    5'8
    180
    ~9%

    Schedule

    530am Cardio on empty stomach (i switch up HIIT for 25 minutes and walking on heavy incline for 45-60min)

    750am School Starts
    240pm School Ends

    between 5-8pm Workout then another 45-60 minutes walking cardio
    Monday Chest
    Tuesday Back
    Wedsnesday Arms
    Thursday off
    Friday Legs
    Saturday Shoulders and traps
    Sunday Abs or off

    here is my diet for the most part, it changes daily but the meal structure is the same

    Meal 1 Pro/Carb
    Meal 2 Pro/Fat
    Meal 3 Pro/Fat
    PWO Pro/carb*
    PPWO Pro/Carb* These two equal about a meal and a half combined
    Meal 5 Pro

    is this too much cardio?

    Any opinions are welcome

    according to the "diet" you have (5 meals, yes it is too little)
    you are too young and can burn shit load of cals, up your meals to 7 pack it with good complex carbs (brown rice, wheat, potatoes...etc) and ofcource animal protein (eggs, poultry, fish, LEAN red meat, easy on dairy).
    you'll pack on more lean muscle and stay powerful. through out your training.

    meal 2 Pro/Carb
    meal 3 Pro/Fat
    meal 4 Pro/Fat
    Weight Train
    meal 5 Pro/Carb

    I'm gettin' close to 225lbs 8-9% BF on a 9-10 meal plan: 7 or 8 are Protein/Carbs and 2 are Protein/Fat.
    I only cardio 4-5 times/week 30 minutes only. one of the cardio sessions is Soccer for 90 minutes.
    So your age, the amount of cardio you are doing, your current stats, and your natural Test. levels says one fvckin thing:
    EAT AND TRAIN

    Cardio once a day should be plenty unless you have serious endomorphic tendencies.

    I see from your workout routine you do biceps the day after you do back. Are your biceps not sore the day after back? My biceps are almost always sore after a good back workout. If I were you I would try to split these two workouts up. For example I do arms on Tue. and back on Fri.
