I go to the gym 6 days of the week. Alternating days of muscle building, and jogging.
Monday chest/biceps (4 reps total of 3 sets each at 12-10-8 or 10-8-6 depending on weight)
Tuesday jog/elliptical 30 minutes (4 miles, or 500 calories or so)
Wednesday triceps/back (again, 4 reps of the same thing)
Thursday jog/elliptical (same amount)
Friday shoulders/legs (3 reps of shoulders, 1 rep quads, 1 rep glutes, 1 rep calves)
Saturday jog/elliptical (same amount)
*Note: I work out my abs everyday at the gym, alternating days of weighted crunches and ab rolling (using one of those wheel things you push while kneeling)
I want to keep doing cardio to keep my body healthy and to train my will/endurance/stamina. My concern is that if I keep jogging, will it be too counterproductive to my muscle building. I increased my food intake by trying to eat 3 full meals a day, with 2 additional protein shakes - 1 when I wake up another when I go to sleep, making it almost 5 meals a day. Should I cut down on the jogging, to say once per week to increase my muscle mass faster?
