Cardio immediatly after weight training?

[3J]

cardio after weights should be done.. now predicated on your goals its done differently..

e.g. if i want to lose weight vs if i want to bulk

So if your cutting, you would do cardio first, correct?

IMO if you have enough energy left to do 30-45mins of cardio after weightlifting then you're doing it wrong.

I think your wrong if u do legs real hard then mayb but what does doing arms or chest,back ,shoulders have to do with running or biking.If this was the case none of us would have girlfriends cause we would be to tired to fuck them

Ok once again it varies from person to person . Im talking about the NORM here . Weight training puts the body under enormous amount of stress ( if done correctly) glycogen should be completely depleated thier for adding cardio to an already strenuous session will without a doubt cause you to loose mass aswell as fat if u r natty ok thier is a few freaks out thier with great genetics who could hop around on one leg with a dumbell in thier hand and still put on size but unfortunetly gentlemen thats not the vast majority of us. believe what u want i no that if i perform cardio after a weight training session i loose weight and if i perform it before( not a warmup ) my resistance training is hindered without a doubt . put it this way pros who have all sorts of chemicals enhanching thier performance running through them will do cardio and weights atleast 6 hours apart. If ur nat and u wanna loose weight go for it if u wanna retain or put on size no .

what i do,is do my weight training then do cardio excersises for that muscle,then i do 30 minutes of just normal cardio on the treadmill. works great for me. you should give it a try!

but sir r u natty ?

I was up until recently - and I grew continually. I would train with weights BEFORE football/track practice when I was younger, and in one year I put on about 40 lbs completely natural.

Glycogen depletion has little to do with later growth, as long as you replenish stores.

how do you explain football players or spinters .There all jacked and day do cardio like crazy.Doing cardio before weights to me make no sence cause i wanna burn fat during cardio.You engine does even start burning fat till like 20 mins into that cardio session.Now if u do it after wieght 100%fat burning and u wont burn muscle.my opinion

Dahurt i wasnt asking u if u were natty i was asking the gentlemen above you. albundy i cannot understand you, im not qiet sure what ur trying to make out thier : /

I said it before, cardio after a weight session is the way to go. Intake a protein shake before cardio session after training lol.

 

[Diced]

strong disagree , but hay at the end of the day its ur choice fellas ^

I know but if a principle is applicable across all of human physiology, then it doesn't matter who answered.

So yes I gained like crazy doing cardio after weight training, and yes I was natural, therefore depletion of intramuscular glycogen stores prior to cardiovascular training had little effect on my ability to gain.

Last time I checked I was human so it is in direct opposition to what you said.

 

[Diced]

hmm agree, however u may be geneitcally gifted NORMs cannot and should not perform cardio around their weight training schedules regardless it will eat into ur lbm aswell as fat . conversation finished on my part

Ill have to agree with this.
My brother in law is a personal trainer for athletes looking to increase speed and strength (dallas Cowboys) and up at there gym they always preach, Cardio before lifting.

just my 2 cents.

 

[dy595959]

I can NOT do cardio after. Tried it and it is like worthless worthless effort because I am beat down so I do it 20 min before. Seems good to me

 

[Diced]

cardio before lifting is fine provided its done at a slow pace personally i prefure dynamic streches .

 

[Alert/10]

I usually do cardio after lifting but usually with around a 30 min break in between

I like to keep my run time competitive and this way seems to work for me

I'd have to agree with Diced above.

But as an individual, I have been a natty for a long time and at the moment I still am.

And, when I was interested in losing fat, I'd pour my heart and soul into the weights first and then finish-up with 10-15 min of low-intensity, steady state cardio just to insure that the carb stores were entirely completed. And, if I wasn't feeling it by the time I started cardio, I surely felt it when I either finished cardio or started to stretch.

Now, apart from the 10-15min post workout cardio I had the following scheme: 2 days of weight training followed by 1 day of cardio and abs, back to 2 days of training etc... Now the cardio/abs days, I'd do HIIT cardio after the abs were trained. That 2:1 training schedule in combo with diet worked very well for me.
