Try to separate cardio from weights by 6 hours if possible, if not, then do cardio after weights, but scale it down. I do an hour on non-weight days, but only 1/2 hour on weight days.
If you are wanting to bulk up, then cardio "steals" calories that you need to build new muscle, so it's a careful balance. Fat burning happens most at low/moderate heart rate levels, so weight training
is a fat-burning routine... treat it as such when planning your schedule.
