Ok if I am trying to gain strength then will doing cardio everyday make me lose all my nutrition to gain it,I have been doing cardio everyday now and taking whey protein supplement powder and was wondering if the cardio would throw my strength gain off??
Also the whey I am using is Instantized Whey Gold Standard,how many cups of this should I take a day,it says 1gram per pound and there are 29 grams of protein in a cup of this stuff so how much should I take cas I weigh 155.I was going to take 5 and a half cups a day and my granpa said one or two is fine so how many should I really take?
You want 1-2g of protein per lb of body weight, you get this from both your whole foods and shakes, but whole food should make up the bulk of it. 6-8 meals per day with protein divided equally among them, only 2-3 of those meals should be shakes, somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-40g per shake.
As for cardio, I don't train for strength, more into the over-all physique aspect, but the same general rules can apply. When bulking I still do 3 days wk of cardio 20-30min per session... more so for just over-all health.
