Do you do cardio before or after you lift?
depends
>>75726973i only do cardio
>>75726973Never because I don’t actively kill my muscle gainz idiot.
It's very simple but you niggers need to ask the same question for 10 yearsWarming up is important, but don't confuse it with cardio. Walk for 30m or something similar then proceed to do muscle specific warmups. If you do actual cardio before lifting they're competing stimuli.You can do cardio after lifting, you will obviously be a bit tired already but supposing lifting is your priority that's alright. You also don't have to autistically keep track of what zone you're in to avoid burning glycogen unlike what you'd do if you did cardio before lifting.
>>75727023>kill gainzHow so?
>>75727023all pro body builders do cardioit helps recovery speed, also helps you recover between sets more efficiently, literally most effective way to heal your body10x better than bullshit hype like ice baths and red lights and whatever elsejust 30 mins 3-5x a week
I do a little walking on my treadmill on rest days
I don't do cardio in the winter, it's too cold and I don't want to sweat too much.
>>75727023Only prolonged cardio triggers cortisol release. You're probably a powershitting bloatlord.>>75727327This.
After
>>75726973I always run 3-5k on the mill after. But my weightlifting volume is low and I run every day, I'm more into running than lifting.
>>75727106>Walk for 30mWaste of time. You can run or bike 5-10m and warm up just as well.
some do 10 mins before to "get the circulation going" and most do it after, because after the strength training your muscles are depleted of glycogen (ideally) and your body has to tap into fat reserves to keep providing energy
>>75726991Based. Lifting is very gay.
>>75727616Gayest "activity" there is (it's not even a sport). You get big so other men can admire your body. Women like fit men, and fit does not mean hypertrophied muscles with a sub-optimal weight to strength ratio.
Any anons who lift and do cardio but also do a second round of cardio later or earlier in the day?
>>75726973Neither. I try to keep as much time as possible between running and lifting, 6 hours minimum.>>75726991>>75727616>>75727638Victim weight>>75727647I usually stagger days, when they overlap it's cardio in the AM and lifting in the PM. Don't sleep on swimming it's God-tier as long as you don't overeat afterwards.
>>75727313nta. You workout and rip muscle. If you do cardio right after then are fatiguing that ripped muscle. It hinders growth.You do cardio before workout then you aren't your best for the workout and make less gains. Cardio separate from workout is fine and won't screw with anything. Unless you are staking ripping muscle. If you did squats and you blast your quads on the bike then you are hitting the same muscle group without recovery. For the record, cardio is important. If you are breathing too heavy at above 5 reps you aren't going to progress.
>>75726973I run (not jog, run) 15 minutes on my way to the gym, and jog 20+ minutes on my way back.
>>75727741Based
>>75727638>Women like fit men, and fit does not mean hypertrophied musclesthat's literally what it means. the #1 indicator of mating success in men across the board is simply having a muscular upper body. despite and regardless of anything women might say, abs and arms are objectively, verifiably the only thing women care about.
>>75726973I do it after. There's no way I'd make gains ass blasting myself after exhausting myself on a treadmill.
>>75727720You sound like someone who is afraid to lift to failure. Dint wanna fatigue your mucles lol
>>75728140I am afraid that I won't lift to failure. I will remove every obstacle, like muscle fatigue, to do so. You got it backwards bro.
>>75726973>Do you do cardio before or after you lift?After. But sometimes I do some more small lifting after I do cardio.
