So i'm pretty new to the fitness community. I've started going to the gym about 1 month ago, going 5-6 times a week, primarily only lifting weights without cardio (I just wanted to focus on my strength and putting muscle on). I'm 18, 5'11 and 150 pounds and am pretty skinny/weaker than most. For example, I can only curl 12.5kg, squat 55kg and bench 40kg. The thing is though, although I want to continue lifting weights and getting stronger quickly, or as quick as I can, I also want to maintain, or even improve my cardio whilst increasing my strength as well. To do so, if I lifted weights 4-5 times a week and then did cardio 2-3 times, would I see myself getting stronger whilst improving my cardio? I do play football, but because of university and work, recently I have been struggling to go to practice which would usually make up most of my cardio.
I should point out that I naturally have good aerobic endurance, so would it even be necessary for me to incorporate cardio, and instead, just continue what I'm doing and trying to just improve strength and increase size.
