    Mixing in cardio with weight training?

    42 yrs
    260 lbs
    20 %bf

    Is it ok to do cardio and abs on the off days of this routine or do you need the day of rest? I also added the Decline sets to the chest routine.

    Eight-Day Training Cycle: One day training, one day rest
    (One day on, one day off)

    Day 1: Chest, biceps
    Bench presses 3 sets 6- 8 reps

    Incline bench presses 2 sets 6-8 reps

    Decline bench press 2 sets 6-8 reps

    Dips with added weights 2 sets 8-10 reps

    Barbell curls 3 sets 6-10 reps

    Dumbbell curls 2 sets 6-10 reps

    Day 3: Thighs
    Squats 3 sets 6-10 reps

    Leg presses 2 sets 8-10 reps

    Leg curls 2 sets 8-10 reps

    Day 5: Shoulder, triceps
    Presses behind neck 3 sets 6- 8 reps

    Upright row 2 sets 8-10 reps

    Side laterals 2 sets 8-10 reps

    Lying triceps presses 3 sets 6-10 reps

    Triceps pulley pushdown 2 sets 8-10 reps

    Day 7: Back. calves
    Chins with added weight 3 sets 8-10 reps

    Lat pull to neck 2 sets 8-10 reps

    Barbell bent-over row 2 sets 6-10 reps

    Seated cable row 2 sets 6-10 reps

    Standing calf raise 3 sets 8-12 reps

    Seated calf raise 2 sets 8-12 reps

    You should be doing cardio 6 days a week at your bf%. I am doing abs and cardio almost every day in addition to other workouts (going on vacation next month so trying for the sixer)

    I do a 20 min warm up prior to weight training. And my cardio routine is an hour.
