Reply to comment by TheDismal_Scientist in LPT: To get the most muscle/sculpting for your buck at the gym, focus on compound lifts—the exercises that recruit multiple muscle groups. You only really need overhead press, bench press, squat, deadlift, rows, dips, and maybe pull-ups. These will give you most workout for the energy you put forth. by [deleted]

What's the use of the cardio at the end? I thought most people split their weight and cardio days?

Yeah you can always split the cardio, that part doesn't actually matter too much the important thing is you aren't neglecting it however you're getting it in. I find it easier to program cardio at the end of the workout but it's probably more optimal for a different day

Cardio improves recovery and makes easier to lift without getting exhausted along the training routine.

But doing it first instead last, will affect negatively on how you perform, as you will be already tired.
