What's your "type of workout" split?

I currently work out 6 days a week split up like this:
  • 3 Days of weightlifting
  • 3 Days of slow/medium cardio (running by the lakefront, I love doing this in the summer!)
  • 1 Day of intense cardio with kettlebells (I guess this is kind of like a hybrid workout?)

My question to you all is, what do you find works best in keeping/building a relatively good looking physique while still cutting? Do you have an even split or lean more towards cardio/weightlifting?

So far this approach works for me but would love to hear what others do as I tend to experiment with my routine every now and then.

    I just set up my program. I'm shooting for
    -3 days stronglifts
    -3 days Krav Maga
    -1 day active rest
    This is the most aggressive plan I've put together.
    Do you do your strength cardio on alternate days.

    Nice program!

    Yes, I try to alternate the days if I can but some weeks I do two weightlifting days in a row but focused on different muscle groups.

    I like to have 3 running (slowly) days, 4 yoga classes, 1 weightlifting day, 2 rest days each week.

    If I can ramp it up to my pre-injury levels that would be 5 running days, and if available 5 yoga classes because I like best to run in the morning to wake up, then have a yoga class at night to wind down, but on lift-weights day I like to do that only and have a rest day after because I feel like that's the best chance of building muscle.

    This past winter while cutting I did 2 days of heavier lifting (mostly in the 3-5 rep range) and 2 days of lighter circuit-style lifting (pick an upper lift, lower lift, and core exercise to do for 30 seconds each, followed by a sprint on the treadmill, repeat for 8-9 rounds) and a bit of easy walking.
