hi,
currently doin a 3 day split and am going to be adding 3 days of cardio.

should i do the cardio on my rest day or after the work out ?

depends on your body type mate and what you are trying to achieve.if you are trying to just keep leaner as i asume you are then 3 days cardio is quite adequate.ffor the best results first thing in the morning as you wake is best on an empty stomach.doing it on training days is fine but dont over do the intensity of the cardio (about 65-70% of your max hr)
best of luck my friend
