Tough old man

Some of you were on last evening and I made no secret that I was drinking beer..I knew today was leg day but as always when i drink i think i'll be fine the next day..Well I wake up this morning and don't feel to bad...I decide even though it's leg day that i will do some cardio..Well since it's 4:30 am I ride my recumblent bike which is not in the weightroom but in my living rm..
So I ride for 1hr 7 min's while watching last night of two and a half men..So now cardios done and I have my first meal..this will be 8oz of cold water, 2 scoops of whey and a half cup raw oats..Then I decide to post for a spell and then have my 2nd meal..this is 8 egg whites, 3 whole omega 3 eggs and 6 oz of red potato done in pam..
Now another 1.5 hrs goes by and and it's time for legs..First exercise will be STS training of 5 sets of leg presses done on a 45 degree incline..It will consist of 8 reps, 4 reps, 8 reps and 12 reps..So guess what..On the last set my legs give out and down comes the weight throwing my knees in my face..Tomorrow i will look in the mirror to see just how black my eyes are..
Folks don't do as I do but as I say..Don't do cardio on leg day especially if it's using modstly your legs like bike riding..If you want to do cardio on leg day do it 20 min's after your workout.
I have no facts to back the following up..I was in my weightroom doing cardio right after Lifting and heard the following on KNX a Los Angeles news channel..
It said for those looking to lose fat, to do cardio the following way..It is to be divided into two sessions 20 minutes apart...It said if you do 1 hr of cardio a day to do 30 mins take a 20 min break and complete the remainding 30 mins. It said that this would result in a 20% additional fat loss over doing 1 hr straight..It said it also applied to those who lift weights..Lift your weights, take a 20 min break and then do your cardio..
I have done this now for the past month and I do see a difference..I like to see others do this and report on their findings.
