I currently do two lower body days and two upper body days, with saturday as 'vanity' day (abs/calves/arms). Cardio for me is prowler/sled pushes & sprints after lower body sessions.
If your trying to get 'big', I'd start by eliminating or cutting cardio down to 1 or 2 low intensity walks per week. If you getting fat, double check your diet before going nuts on cardio.

Not wanting to get big at all. Been there 20 years ago. Just curious as to how guys do it these days. I am really enjoying lifting again though. I'm doing lots of reps with medium weight. By lots, I mean 15-20. Generally two to three sets, depending on the muscles I'm working out. I do throw in a heavier set of each muscle group per workout though. It's only been two weeks, and 7 workouts, but it's amazing how fast the body, even a middle aged one, starts to adapt and reshape.
