Perform Weights first in the Gym.

Mix up your workouts with heavy training and more supersets
Train hard and train fast with supersets, and Tri sets to keep up your intensity and increase your growth hormone response.
Don’t neglect your heavy training of course. Lift heavy with proper form to gain more muscle on your body and have your body burning more calories throughout the day to maintain that extra muscle.
Interval Training
