Excessive weight lifting can hurt you. I
usually do it every other day. The belief
that your muscle tears won't heal if you
lift day after day might be a myth, but
your joints will get tired from excessive
lifting. Also, if you're 6 foot tall,225
lbs isn't really overweight, its just a
little on the heavy side. Lastly, if
you're trying to lose weight, try adding
cardio (jump roping, running, swimming,
biking, hiking) to your weight lifting
program since weight lifting by itself
won't make you lose weight that
effectively, it could even make you
bulkier.

So you're trying to replace fat w/ muscle.
Cardio can still help with giving you a
lean, shredded physique; which is almost
impossible w/ just lifting from my
experience and even harder if you're
someone who is naturally more soft-muscle
toned instead of muscular and lean. Also,
from what you are saying, you are trying
to improve your fat-to-muscle composition,
one of the best ways to improve body
composition and keep it lean is to do
cardio work. And besides, fitness isn't
just about muscle strength. Its also
about muscle endurance, flexibility, body
composition, and cardio endurance. Not
only is a well-rounded fitness profile
necessary for many tasks in life, it is
also better for your health, many notable
bodybuilders like Mike Mentzer (died from
heart attack) and Arnold Schwarzeneger
(bypass surgery I think) have had health
issues from just lifting and doing nothing
else. I guess u shouldn't do too much
cardio, but something like twice a week
cardio couldn't hurt.

MMAFighter has got it right.
Always keep your cardio training, you can
do it before after or during weights and
all week long if you want. If you are
going to lift weights, I'd suggest doing
it 3 days a week. Keep the weekends for
rest where you don't do anything. Always
have rest. When you lift weights and work
out you make little tears in your muscles.
When they heal they get stronger. You need
to give your muscles time to heal.
Otherwise you'll be going backwards.
Make sure you don't focus on just certain
muscles, you'll cause injury. And
rememeber to stretch!
