    On the days I don't go twice I do cardio before and after I lift.

    Yeah I'm getting pretty sick of it but I will not be fat again. Fed up being the chubby 'big guy'.

    Also what kind of hiit do you reccomend. I have access to a weighted sled that can be pulled and pushed. I used to do that for 10 minutes on occassion

    Honestly that's not good if your getting sick of it..sometimes I can't wait to go and push myself and break thresholds to recover and come back stronger and faster and sexier lol..but seriously staying motivated is one of the biggest keys to success dedication and motivation because if not it seems like a job or your a Soave to it..then it makes you don't want to do it.

    Honestly check out my "Earth Gym" thread. It has examples of routines I do. I was limited at first before I had a gym pass but now i have a pass I been easing into it..
    Lots of super sets (one move followed by another move that works the same muscle group) or lots of drop sets, strip sets, pre exhaust , post exhausts..etc etc..I honestly hit the random button sometimes to keep it fresh ad exciting lol. And you can even super set squats with cycling sprint intervals ..i.e do some squats then if you can walk ,run or lunge to the bike and pedal as fast as you can for about 30seconds.
    Personaly I changed it up a bit last leg day. And instead of squats super set with leg press I did my squats and then I did these plyometrics jump squats..just a regular air squat but I held on to a 35lb plate and when I was on my way up I jumped as I as I could off the ground and landed stable then ass to the ground and repeat as many as I could ..kicked my ass honestly. I was breathing heavy. ( So squats Andy then the weighted jumping squats)

    I really like your earth gym concept. Never miss a chance to incorporate something into a workout. Especially when it has real world applications.

    Good conditioning is a great base for any program. I'd rather have that to begin with then try to build it up from square 1. In nearly any sport or situation the one with the better conditioning usually wins.
