    Need a little clarification

    Hi guys
    I'm currently on a quest to loose a fair amount of excess body fat and trim up a little after a year out.
    I do 50/60 minutes fasted A.M cardio 6/7 days a week at very low intensity to keep in my fat burning zone. (Have heart rate monitor to assist)

    My question is can I go straight on to lifting as soon as I have finished my cardio or is it best to leave it and get something to eat first?

    Will lifting straight away be effected by the cardio or is it ok to just go from cardio to weights?

    Another question

    Whilst doing my lifting I'm doing moderate weights for 10/12 reps should I drop the weight and up the reps or up the weight and lower the reps?

    Is there a winning combo whilst burning fat/ loosing weight or do I just find what works for me and my body?

    Thanks in advance guys your advice has always spurred me on to achieve my goals

    U want ur lifting to be heavy and intense so I would make sure u are well fuelled for it.... So I'd never do cardio b4 weights... I'd feel lethargic

    Keep the weight training normal..... 8-12 reps, intense, moderate volume...

    Intense weight training, a good energy debt via a clean diet and moderate intensity cardio

    Well very low long intensity cardio is not for you then m8

    Cut the duration in half and double the intensity

    I'm 5'11"
    114kg
    25%bf (checked with callipers in 4 places)

    I used to do strong man so still have a decent amount of muscle mass but my job took me away for a year (on and off) so training had to stop.

    At 25% BF I'd focus on how many calories your burning during cardio and not the heart rate....

    Burn as many as possible
