Bro,

If u aiming to become lean ala model beach look type of body...I suggest u cut down on ur cardio and Lift big now...

Since u have no experience with free weights yet(i presume), go for sedang2/sedap2 for a month or 2 to get the feel and practice the right form.

A more efficient way to lower bodyfat is MUSCLEMASS ~! Concentrate on that and strength training ~!

#1 Too much cardio will hinder ur muscle building ability. Cardio sap calories needed for the body to build.

The more muscle mass u have on ur body, the more fat/calories it will burn. So in a long run, it's more beneficial to build more mass than to do cardio. Moreover, cardio will only burn fat mostly during the workout process while muscles = 24/7.

Once u have enough muscle mass, all u need to do is decrease carbs intake and cardio workout is not necessary but optional.

While you have heavier Body weight at the moment, U might be able to carry more than after u have slimmed down. Take advantage of ur current situation now and train for strength. The physique looks will eventually come to u. FOCUS ON STRENGTH ~!

#2 What i'm trying to say is try it with low/moderate weights on free weights before u start doing heavy. There shouldn't be margin for error when u r lifting 80% of ur 1RM, else it might cause serious injury.

#3 That = Muscle mass building ~!!!!
