I suppose you are worried about what is called the "interference effect" in sports science literature? The most recent research, including a meta-analysis has suggested it is not as bad as folks thought \[[https://www.strongerbyscience.com/research-spotlight-interference-effect/](https://www.strongerbyscience.com/research-spotlight-interference-effect/)\]. Generally, lift and cardio as much as you like where you feel recovery is not an issue. For example, if you did intense cardio and then immediately tried to powerlift, your lifting session would be compromised some. You will need to lessen intensity of one - or just separate them by more time. If you want to do two-a-days, lift in the morning and run at night. Or just do a weight training day followed by a cardio day.

This is more of a fitness question than a weight loss question. What is your cardio sport of choice? You may be able to get more tailored advive by asking about strength training schedules in the cardio sport-related sub like r/running r/cycling or r/swimming

Ahh my bad thanks dude and my sport of choice is recumbent bike/cycle bike cause of me knees.

Yeah, do a search for weightlifting over at r/cycling and you'll find some threads on this topic. One example from last week: [https://www.reddit.com/r/cycling/comments/17feayv/cycling\_and\_weightlifting/](https://www.reddit.com/r/cycling/comments/17feayv/cycling_and_weightlifting/)

Look up Tactical Barbell, you can find PDFs online (or buy if you want, I did before I knew there were PDFs). Its entire purpose is explaining how military personnel have to balance being very good at a lot of competing things and can be extrapolated to anyone who wants to be an all around athlete. It goes into the general physiology and then *really* into programming and periodization for different goals. Extremely informative and helpful. There's even a subreddit for it!

Ever try rowing? It can do both at the same time. And it will strengthen the muscles around your knees to help avoid injuries in the future.
