Im on IF and since i work out in the morning @5:30am, i lift fasted w/ exception of some BCAAs and protein before heading out to the gym.
Never really done cardio, but looking to add it in. Do i do it before lifting weights, or after?
Arguments ive heard, doing before lifting workouts = serve as warm up
Doing it after lifting weights = body enters catabolic state after doing cardio, hence could "mess" with muscle mass gains meant to be gained through weight lifting.
Your take? Im leaning towards doing it after as i dont want to expend the little energy i have in the morning on cardio instead of lifts
Also i'd be doing not exactly HIIT, but it will definitely be intense cardio w/ sprints and etc.
