Well, I started back working out after a lazy layoff and decided to get in shape because I feel I'm getting to the age where it's now or never. The wife and I signed up for a rugged maniac 5k in November to give us a target goal to start. I am 32, 6'4", 240 lbs. I am doing the starting strength program for the lifts with a couch to 5k on the off days.
Day 1- lift
Day 2-run
Day 3- lift
Day 4-run
Day5-lift
Day6-run
Day7-rest.. The. Rinse and repeat. I have already seen gains in my lifts and running but my weight hasn't changed. Before I get slammed, I know that I'm converting to muscle but with this regime will weight loss begin after a period of transition? I understand diet is probably 90% and I've cut all cokes and cookies. Main meals are similar to before but smaller portions. I also added in more snacks such as fruit and nuts.
I really would like to lose about 15-20 lbs in the next 3 months which I think I can accomplish. But at this rate in the gym I feel awesome when I workout but it almost seems I'm leaving a little on the table especially with legs because they are tired from the day before.
My numbers are pretty bad I know but I've never been a big lifter.
Bench max ~235
Dead lift- have t maxed but did a set of 5 @ 305 last workout
Squats- only have access to a smith machine and last set is at 245
Power clean- last set 150
Press-last set at 125
Main question is about my routine and the possibility of over doing it with cardio in between lifts. And also weightloss. Thanks for the help, sorry if this was a confusing mess!
