I read an article about preference the other day which shocked me.
I remember around 2 years ago when I had first started the gym I would run for 1 hour and then go hit like every machine in the gym like a noob.
But the truth is, I did start dropping LBs pretty fast.
Now I'm doing my FBW 3 times a week and as some of you know by the ends of these workouts all I want to do is eat and sleep.
I've come very far in my lifting from when I first started doing the 3 x 12 routine and I feel very strong and know I am getting big but the 40 or so extra lbs resting on my body are making it hard to see.
Diet is such a huge challenge for me because the 2 times in the past I lost a lot of weight I did it by smoking. I quit smoking 6 months ago and jee wiz, I can't seem to cut back on the eating/snacking.
so between the eating/not-running I'm not getting to a point where I am happy at all.
I'm interested in HIIT/Elliptical/Jumping Rope

A big issue for me is having a plan. I have my MWF workout plan and I stick to it so I know if I just had a plan with running It would really make me happy guys.
So I guess a couple of issues I'd like to address are
1. can i run before my weights like i used to?
-if so should i run normal? or do hiit or jump rope
2. if i do start running before my workouts should i then change up my routine?
Here is 1 thing I'd like to share before I end this. I go to school 5 days a week. My gym and school are very close to each other and I'm about 25 minutes from both. So M T W TH F are all cool for the gym. As far as SAT + SUN go....I will want to do at home cardio or outside in the streets.
P.S. the article I read (in case you were wondering) said that running before lifting was your choice depending on what you want and it's not a "golden rule" i guess.
