Moderate to hard biking after you workout doesn't cause you to lose strength or mass. You can still build very good cardio fitness. Running, ok let me be clear, "jogging" just plain makes you smaller and weaker. I used to sprint 100 meters on soft track, walk back, then sprint it again for 6 cycles when I was younger. That was beneficial. 45 minutes of jogging will kill your strength and mass quickly.
After 50 hrs of this over the last 6 months iv'e decreased my bf, my waist is smaller than ever, vascularity evident in the upper arms again, leg and calf separation improved and overall leaness is apparent accompanied by not a single ounce of strength loss (although a marginal slowing of gains as expected). The result is my strength to weight ratio is greater than ever, i'm lifting heavier weights at a lower bw than at a higher one. Fullness in my upper body may of taken a slight hit though but i feel by including a cardio component thats roughly comparable to the weight lifting (in terms of time) has been worth it. |

Running makes you sleep better. I think it keeps your metabolism higher too, but I could be wrong.

^You truly don't grasp the point I was making, Sebastian.
In the military you run every day, sometimes one mile, sometimes 6 miles......
Your body is put in to such a catabolic state that it doesn't matter how many calories you take in because whatever muscle mass you build up is burned for energy. You are always depleted and there is no way to get back to a positive anabolic balance unless you lay off the running or use AAS.
You haven't been in the military. I have.
Read the post next time and comprehend before you comment.

Fuck man, when I was in the Marine Corps we ran with our boots on for miles on the pavement. That contributed to the fact at 44 I can barely climb stairs. |

I used to run a lot. I took in the same amount of calories so as not to defeat the purpose of the running as I was trying to lose bodyfat. I would estimate I got under 10%, maybe 8%. But my strength took a hit. Maybe its worse on big guys. I don't know. but I do know guys who are serious about size, strength and power tend not to run. |

Running once or twice a week is healthy, but keep it short, 12 to 15 minutes.
Why, it gives a better vascularity, and you will be able to run at least a short mile without dying. Cause the major problem with getting a serious size is to train the hart and vascularity.

Running is more of a lifestyle, like bodybuilding. At least those that really get into it.
Yes, it is a lifestyle but the two are not mutually exclusive. Many sprinters or middle distance runners are really built with both strong legs and great upper bodies. It doesn't really work that way for marathon runners since 26.2 mlies is a long way to drag the extra muscle. You all (of course) know where I stand on the benefits of running-- right? Enough said. |

Ok so i'm 226lb 6'1 and trying to build some serious muscle. But I run a 10 min mile everytime i step foot in the gym; first thing i do as a warm up. Should I cease, if I'm trying to build hard muscle?

Definetly stop. This could spell disaster for your gains and put an end or even reverse them. I'm surprised you dont weigh 126lbs following this regime |

I used to do my cardio before I lifted for a long time because I wanted to get it out of the way cause it sucks. Then on a lark I did my lifting first. When the weights felt really light I realized I was making a big mistake doing my cardio which consisted of 32 minutes of the bike or hard walking on the treadmill. The cardio takes time to recover from and keeps you from lifting as heavy as your body is capable of. To get as big as you are capable of you need to lift as heavy as weights as you are capable of. |

Doing cardio for workout makes you spill a lot of potentiel energy. So stop it.
The only exception I use is when it's freezing cold, a short warmup by meaning of cycling or crosstrainer would be recommended.

f**k man, when I was in the Marine Corps we ran with our boots on for miles on the pavement. That contributed to the fact at 44 I can barely climb stairs.
my dad ran three marathons from age 28 to age 34. Just this last year he had hip replacement surgery, after years of incessant, horrendous, and occasionally crippling hip pain. Though he played football in college, he blames the hip problem 98% on running outdoors; being a tall guy the compression of/on the pavement was too much. That being said, running is still a great form of exercise; if you put the treadmill on a 1-degree incline you can still get a good running workout and cut down the risk of injury. |

Running is great. But it has its pitfalls. I have bad knees, sciatica, pinched nerve in my neck. I can't attribute it all to the pounding from running but I know it contributed. |

I see people running all the time like the next marathon is coming up in Feb? I'm sure you burn a bit more fat while running, but wouldn't you rather keep more muscle by low intensity cardio...in return increasing your metabolism? Boring thread, just wondering though. Not every post can have the flair of the now infamous, gay for pay Derek Anthony. Classic.
Shorties like runing and x games because they are things they can do tallies liek me cant easily. makes em feel a bit of jock they like that |

running really helps to increase stamina. I can do double the amount f sit-ups after a hard sprint then I can cold without running forts. It's always my warm up, every single time.

I run 5miles a day in the morning, I find my legs get shredded and more powerful. I'm mentally on a high for the rest of the day. I enjoy working out too but the feeling I get from running nothing compares to. I throw in some wind sprints and shadow fighting and its like a complete body workout.
