    Critique/Help My Routine

    Alright, so recently I moved around from place to place due to work and my diet was not spot on. Therefore I gained a few lbs during a three month period and want to lean up a bit.

    My style of working out may seem odd and is more geared towards athletic performance. Basically I want to make sure I avoid overtraining and I am not just f'ing up.

    Anyways so my routine recently has been as follows:

    Monday - train with trainer, for performance, work outs typically are 1/3 weights, 1/3 body weight movements, 1/3 cardio (agility, power, etc...) very taxing
    Tuesday - Lift (40 mins. cardio in morning or after training)
    Wednesday - Run (Either elliptical, jog, or some type of sprint/agility/power work out) 40-1hr
    Thursday - Lift
    Friday - train with trainer, same as Monday, Lift in afternoon/eveining
    Saturday - Run (always sprint/agility/power) 1hr +
    Sunday - OFF

    **note I also do cardio as a warm-up before lifting and soon extra after I lift**

    So to simplify things:

    M - Performance train
    T - Lift/Cardio
    W - Cardio
    TH - Lift
    F - Performance train, Lift
    S - Cardio
    S - OFF

    - before I am asked why I do performance type training I used to lift solely, walk on elliptical, etc...for years, got bored and switched it over and achieved results I enjoyed
    - also more relative to what i wish to do in future
    - concerned that restricting calories and doing more moderate cardio could be over doing it since most guys would be doing moderate cardio in the AM 5-6 days a week but I already have 4 high intensity work outs, 2 that are pure HI cardio
    - do lots of dynamic stretching, static stretching
    - will post diet up soon

    **lifting is heavy, basic compound movements, sets 5-6 reps
    ---squats, hang cleans, bench, deads, pull ups, rows, curls, extensions

    Now I wait for ass ripping, no homo

    Example of work out:

    Hang Clean - 4 X 5
    Squat - 4 X 5
    Bench 1-Leg Squat - 3 X 5
    Pull Ups - 4 X 6
    Seated Rows - 3 X 5
    Barbell Curls - 3 X 6

    - I will attempt to keep pushing the same weight, even push for slight improvement
    - yes, i do chest, tris, calves, shoulders in other work outs
