you're overtraining IMO.

Yea?

Are you eating 10,000 calories a day?

Anyway, I've been doing cardio at least 5 times a week, sometimes 6. I usually run 4 days a week, about 5-6 miles, and ride my bike once or twice for about 45 minutes. I lift 6 days a week, recently switching over to one or two muscles per day (Bi's/Chest/Back, Lats/ Tri's, Traps), which ends up working each muscle 2 times a week.

Soo..I was wondering if you guys think that I'm doing too much cardio for my own good. I want to keep my metabolism up, as well as my stamina, but don't want to cause long term damage by doing this week after week. My calves pull easily also, as a side note, but I stretch them thoroughly to prevent this.

Let me know what you think,

Here's the best answere of all time. As much as needed to keep the Fat at a minimum.

Why? Is my regiment set as if I am????

What would be normal as far as cardio goes, in terms of times per week? 3? 4?
