Cardio Question!!

[swolemc]

Im currently doing the 5x5 routine 6 days a week... should i do cardio in the morning and work out at night or do cardio right before or right after my workout? I usually jump rope or ride a bike around the neighborhood about 3 days a week for about 30 minutes but i dont want it to hinder my gains.. PLEASE HELP!!

They say doing cardio in the morning burns more fat but I am not a morning person so evenings work for me.

No cardio right before weights. You can do them anytime you want otherwise.

here is some direction

keep it to less than 50 minutes a session at low to moderate intensity and it won't cause a problem for muscle growth.
a good cardio session after weights can help exhaust the muscles of glycogen (glucose) and give you an even greater anabolic 'rush' with insulin. which will help with muscle growth.
