I do so much cardio after my lift. bad or not?

[willcel]

im 17 and still growing, my growth plates are open… got them scanned. I lift very often and have a top 1% natural physique. however a little more lean muscle and maybe 1-2% less bf% would help me out a lot.

so, ive been lifting, and then hitting cardio so i can keep a high caloric diet with nutrient dense, whole raw foods and staying in a 500 deficit.

its easy to keep since i fast until 1pm or so when i have my first meal (preworkout) but i feel my lifting is taking a toll because i do so much cardio. should i keep it how i am so i can keep my hormones in check or should i change up my diet that could lead to some deficiencies to reach my physical goals quicker?

this is my heavy cardio session i did today (101 mins 1,372 calories)

this is usually what i do after my lifts.

I also play soccer or do kickboxing in the morning fasted for fun / i play varsity soccer so i kinda have to practice

Very bad to spend that much calories in puberty and dedicating major sleep time to repair the chronic damage instead of growth

Being slightly overweight during puberty and leaning down thereafter mog cause U had enough calories for growing while keeping ur hormones in a healthy state, overtraining as being in calorie deficit and leaning down while orientating the sleep pattern from growth to repair can only be detrimental
