cardio on an empty stomach

I heard it's a good thing and that it's even better if you have some caffeine. So here's my question.

I'm supposed to do it first thing in the morning. Does that mean I need to be in a rush to do cardio or can I relax for awhile, watch the news and enjoy my cup o' Joe?

If I can chill out first, how soon do I need to hit it? Thanks for all the help.

i do fasted cardio around 2-3pm. I wake up anywhere from 8-10am.

take your time.


Meaning that you dont eat from the time you get up till after your cardio session in the afternoon?
 
I would wait about 30 minutes after you do wake up to do cardio. But no more than that. The only reason you should wait 30 minutes is so the caffiene can take full effect.
 
Cardio on an empty stomach is better, but at the end of the day it comes down to calories consumed vs. calories burned. What are you stats and goals for cutting?

How the hell do you get you cals in the during that shorter day
my off days are lower, sub-maintenence days, so its not hard getting those calories in.

on training days i eat a whole box of cereal with 4 cups milk PWO which helps alot. Then I have two more high carb moderate protein low fat meals throughout the night, followed by a cup of cottage cheese. 3500-4000 calories total. its really not as hard as it might sound.

Right now, I'm 5'9" 205 and at about 14% bf (although I'm pretty sure that's lowered because I started cutting about 10 days ago and even though my weight is the same, all of my pants are already fitting me more loosely).

I just started a 12-week cycle 500 mg/week of sustanon (250 x2) with some clen (right now at 80 mcg/day start @ 120 mcg/day tomorrow for another 2 weeks). I will use 40-50/mg winstrol/wk for the last 4 weeks and take the clen for those last 4 weeks as well.

I plan to add 200 mg Masteron in for 10 weeks as well, starting next week. post cycle therapy (pct) will be Clomid 300 mg day 1 , 100 mg for 10 days and 50 mg for 10 more days = total of 3 weeks

This is my 5th cycle. As far as diet goes, I'm eating 3 or 4 meals a day each with 30-50 g of protein as well as some light snacking a couple times and 2-50 g protein drinks a day.

I always get at least 1 gram protein/lb of bodyweight daily. I don't really count carbs and fats; I just try and keep my starch/fat/sugar intake to a minimum. Snacks I shoot for stuff like a little cheese, avacados, celery sticks with a little natural peanut butter in them, tuna ,yogurt, a few whole wheat crackers...Try to drink 2 gallons of H2O a day but I think it's usually closer to 1.5.

I'm doing 1 hour of cardio 3-6x/week depending on my schedule, how my body feels and the weather. Usually do 1 long (3 hr+) bike ride every week or so. Lifting heavy 4-5 times a week about 1 1/2-2 hrs a day except Friday which is my hell day (squats, deadlifts and powercleans along with my auxillary legs) which can be considerably longer but some of thast time is longer recovery between sets so I don't puke lol.

I did this type of thing before and lost 5% bf and about 20 lbs in a month; the thing that I liked was that my strength loss was minimal (I actually increased strength on a couple of exercises). I was off-cycle, completely clean at this time.

So I would say that's my goal is to cut bf and hopefully with a little help from this cycle I could possibly have some strength gain, or at the very least no loss.

I hope this is enough info for you. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks for the help.
 
OK, you guys have my stats; any advice you give me will be greatly appreciated. Please help a bro make the most out of this cycle. Thanks!
