Pls review my routine

I started working out since last week and using 3 days body split + cardio but seems i mess alot with the combination etc..
so i think i will start new routine:

Mon: strenght (30-40 mins) + HIIT (20 mins)
Tue: static cardio (30-45 mins)
Wed: strenght (30-40 mins) + HIIT (20 mins)
Thu: static cardio (30-45 mins)
Fri: strenght (30-40 mins) + HIIT (20 mins)
Sat: off
Sun: off

for streght i will use HST full body workout as suggested in:


the reason streght+HIIT is that i will spend less time in gym to streght+cardio.

my diet is 1800 calories/day with carbs+prot+fat 50-30-20
6 meals a day.
Weight= 171 lbs, H = 5'11", Age = 28 yr, BF = 23%

Now the questions:
1. is streght+HIIT bad idea? what can i do to improve my routine?
2. 1800 calories/day is too low/high?
 
You should be closer to 2250 at least, just guessing...don't have time to do the math now. >> And your ratio shoud be more like 40-30-30 -> protein/carbs/fat
 
Thanks for the calorie suggestion.
Anyone think that my routine should be revised? I got respond from other forum to do HIIT first then streght, also someone metion HIIT and streght will boost methabolism so no point to do both in the same time. any thought?
 
what do you do on the days you train strenght?

I inteded to use full body workout HST method, but think that will take lots of time, so i think i will use back 3 day body split:

Mon:
= Chest: - incline bench 2x10 - dips 2x10 - pec dec 2x10
= Shoulder: - shoulder press 2x10 - lateral raise 2x10 - rear deltoid 2x10
= Triceps: - push downs 2x10 - tri extensions 2x10

Wed:
= Back: - chain 2x10 - row 2x10
= Biceps: - dumbell curl 2x10 - preachers 2x10
= Abs: - crunches 4x10

Fri:
= Legs: - Squats 2x10 - Leg press 2x10 - Siff leg deads 2x10
= Traps: - shurgs 3x10
= Calves: - calve raise 4x10

full body workouts should only take like one hour, around there. I think you would benifit more from a full body workout 3 times a week. do a search for full body workout and ull find lots of info.
