How would one transition from a traditional bodybuilding split (4-6x a week training) into an "athletes" training program (3-4x a week weight training incorporating sprinting as well as medium distance running [5-10km])
Probably a stupid question but never the less an interesting one.
And of course this would be a NON-hormonized athlete..
I ask this because most athletes that do weight training as well as high intensity "cardio" and steady state "cardio" seem to remain lean (<10% BF) without really watching their diet too much.

I was thinking of changing up GH15's recommended routine...
Monday: Arms
Tuesday: Legs
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Back
Friday: Chest and Delts
Monday: low intensity cardio (eg. Slow jogging for 20-30min)
Tuesday: Off day from any cardio due to leg training
Wednesday: low intensity cardio for extra recovery from leg training
Thursday: Sprinting (5x20m, 5x30m, 5x40m, 5x50m etc. Whatever you prefer..)
Friday: low intensity cardio etc.
How would you rather set it up?
Should sprinting rather be cut out completely? I'm not really into long distances... Also sprinting does a physique good...
