Cutting begins too much cardio?
Today was my first day of cutting, I plan to continue my usual 3 day spit chest/biceps, shoulders/tri and back and legs. I have also decided to cut out carbs completely after 5pm (other than veg) and eat lean meats only followed by a casein protein shake before I go to bed. Due to my working hours changing again I currently work between 5pm-1-30am. I work out at 9:30am. I am planning as of tonight to jog for 30 minutes before I go to sleep every night (1:30am-2am) of the week will this be ok or will I be overtraining in addition to 15mins cardio after my 3 weights sessions? Also I have a 10k run on June 5 2005 and havent done any training!

Depends on a lot of things, such as your age and your previous results with similar amounts of sleep, as well as your training intensity.

Well hey, you might as well try it and see how it goes. I might not be able to get by on that much sleep, but you may do perfectly fine with it. Good luck.

I wouldn't increase cardio and make changes to your diet at the same time. do one then wait several weeks and change the other.
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.
