Alright /fit/, I need a second opinion here.

My daily workout is a five mile run (35 minutes, meaning 5 seven minute miles) in addition to chest presses and ab workouts. I've lost 40 pounds since I started doing this 3 months ago, down to 155 from 195, I'm 6'0" and I'm really happy with the results. I can bench 190, but I'd like to bulk up a bit more.

And so, I hired a trainer today, and he said that I should be eating more (something insane like 3500 calories daily) and reducing my running to interval training (I guess I'll be doing HIIT) 5 times a week and lifting 3 times a week, while keeping and adding to my current daily abs routine. Is this a good idea? It seems to make some sense to me as 7 day a week running apparently cuts down muscle mass.

If you want to get bigger (as in muscle) then your trainer has the right idea.

yo bro, that 5 mile run is killing whatever mass gain you're aiming for. Hitting the large muscle groups (like squats, bench press, deadlifts) to help you with your goals.

But I tip my hat to you for your (soon to be former) cardio regiment. Most people I see on the treadmills at the gym are only going at a 10 minutes/mile pace, which IMO is way too slow.

OP here. Bump for more responses, but thanks for what's in so far. Basically, I'm going to try this, but I'm not going to push the calories up too much. I'll see what kind of results I have within the next week or two. If I see too much fat gain I'll have to reconsider, but I think I'm happy so far. Also, 10 minutes per mile is so slow they might as well not run.

In order to gain muscle you need to eat alot of calories, but when you run excessively you burn all those calories out, giving you none so your muscles can repair and get bigger. Lurk more faggot.
