I have a proposition for ya. How bout for a week you try doing your cardio AFTER your lifting. Also, try on 3 sessions per week.

At another board I moderate on I just read ANOTHER (just more re-assurance) post where the girl cut out cardio for an entire week and she continued with fat loss and said she doesn't feel or look any different without the cardio. She is also doing carb cycling with great results. I would just like you to see that cardio is not all that its cracked up to be. So I challenge you to the above. You up for it?

Hey Jill!
Your meals are looking great! I have a question for ya, when you eat pumpkin, is that right out of a can or fresh pumpkin? Do you eat it plain or what?

Canned pumpkin!!!! 1/2 cup pumpkin, 1/2 cup oats, 1 egg, 20-30 g vanilla protein, 1 pack of st (or2 of any sweetner), pinch of cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder. Mix, and bake at about 400 for 10 or so minutes. Makes 2! These are my treats on carb days, usually! Tried making this recipe with apple sauce un sweet instead of pumpkin, not near as good! Thanks!

Currently my training split is as follows:
Chest & Back
Bis & Tris
Legs & Calves
Shoulders
Abs when ever!
Cardio 3 X per week

Thinking of spliting my chest with tris, and Back with bis.. Any advice on a good split?

I usually average 3-4 different exercise per body part, 3-4 sets of about 8-10 reps (or failure). Any tips would be super!

Because you don't have a dedicated day anymore for tri's & bi's you won't hit them as hard. By moving like I mentioned you will hit them once for (ex. Tri's) on Tri day and then on Chest you hit them automatically because chest works tris as well and back works bis.

However, I would do this instead so they are spread out more.

Back/Tris
Legs
Chest/Bis
Shoulders
