Cardio and Lifting in the same workout

[dj181]

I read it in an old sports magazine article (don't remember which magazine) where they did studies of runners and found that after 30 to 35 miles per week the runners test levels started to drop.

[Ex Coelis]

why the hell would you want to run over 35 miles a week?

just run less and faster

[dj181]

Exactly! In fact, I would say to stay under 20 miles weekly. That will get you plenty lean and fit, without over doing it.

 Not everyone wants to do super intense high impact style training.

 Especially if you get older or have injuries. Doing balls out sprints just doesn't sound too appealing.

 Or if fat burnage is your top priority and muscle mass doesn't matter. Running more can be better.

I don't mean sprints, though sprints are an important addition to any program

my point is that instead of jogging 5 miles a day, pick up the pace and actually RUN 2-3 miles

as for fat loss, running to the point where your test drops and you lose muscle will cause your metabolism to slow down so that's assinine and counter-productive

run like you mean it

I've tried both....

Cardio before lifting just wore me out, and couldnt lift as hard

Although leaving cardio for after I have to be more disciplined because I'm tempted to skip it sometimes, but I've been good recently about it, thats what I do right now, cardio right after I lift!

 Do you inject your testosterone before or after the workout?

 What about your trenbolona?

 Watch out. My Mom has AIDS. She probably already passed it on to you.
 
 You're on so much steroids already though, at least you won't need to get a prescription for that when you start wasting away.

as someone already mentioned if u have the time to go to the gym 7 days a week and or go twice or three times a day , you're either a drug abusing ifbb pro who owns a smoothie store in florida or you have absolutely no life. so no matter what dorian yates says about cardio on off days only, i dont see how a man can go to a gym and not lift weights first. i have never gone to a gym to just do cardio LOL.

I don't either.

I drag a sled in my complex parking lot

I do mountain climbers, froggers, jump squats on a grass surface by the parking lot or in my room.

I can swing a kettlebell in my room too.

You shouldn't be waking on a silly stairmaster or t-mill before or after lifting.

 Yeah doing cardio in the gym is very boring. I just jump rope outside, ride my bike, and go on a fast paced hike.

 Cardio in the gym is lame as fuck.

Thats your story and you're sticking to it :-)


You really seem like a cool dude, but I pretty much know I cannot persuade you otherwise, you know my side of it!!!

 Yes I know all about you. Just like Faildo, Moody, and all those other "naturals". I know all about the "natural" bodybuilding world. You all just use lower doses and are better at passing drug tests.

 Keep on injecting that test bro. That way your ass will be hard and tight for me when I come over there and assrape you 

[CalvinH]

After for me.

IS the bike riding off road ( trails) or on the street?

I workout before work and do a 4:30-5:15 lift,
drink a shake and sit until 5:30 then do the elliptical from 5:35 til 6:20.

No reason to drink the shake and wait, you're buying into bbing bs.  Just hop right on the cardio.

It sounds like that, but no, I just like a little break to rest.

If you only have time to go to the gym once a day and you are doing both cardio and lifting, which should you do first?

You need to get a job... "If you only have time to go to the gym once a day" WTF is this? Most of us struggle to go to the gym, and training to compete like myself, one our a day!!!! And you are worried to be able to go just one time a day?

no wonder I was having trouble getting it up when I was running everyday..once I stopped I was fine

I can manage twice a day if I wanted, but I don't have any kids to worry about, plus I get off of work at 4 and live just three blocks from the gym.
