Now...., I don't do athletic training. I don't have an athletic bone in my body, no balance, no coordination. I do help people who are over-weight get to a healthy and fit weight. You've already gone beyond the scope of my work, and some.
The only other thing that I can add is on the cardio. I am a century rider and a lot of my friends are, too. Die hard century riders will routinely log 100-200 miles per week and then do cardio at the gym on top of that. Now that's what I call "A LOT of cardio". And that amount of cardio is going to create a specific kind of body shape.
Great Work, Built.

P.S. Sure is easy to spend all day on this message board.

That amount of cardio would make me softer/looser and less muscular. I know this from personal experience.
I know it does NOT do this for all people, but it DOES for many of us. Just too damned much cortisol. I started holding BELLY fat, which had NEVER happened to me.
This is the frustration.
And I've been set up on programmes by well-intentioned trainers who have advised me to lift lighter or less, do less leg work, do more cardio, etc etc, but nothing has done as much for me as dropping down to about a third as much cardio as I was doing and cranking the iron HARD.
Thanks for the complements, and the suggestions. But you won't see me doing MORE low-level cardio. Probably more HIIT though. Not as catabolic, and does more to raise the metabolic rate. Not as boring, either. I bore VERY easily LOL.
Cheers
