actually, if your back was in a slump...if it hadnt imroved in quite some time...and you needed thickness more than width. 16 sets of deadlifts would be an awesome way to shock the muscle into growth. just as a one time thing. if width was your problem pulldowns would be better...
cardio right after weight training is moronic unless you drink a shake and wait 15-20 minutes before doing the cardio...otherwise your body lacks muscle glyocgen and protein and nay level of exercise is too intense for your body to use body fat for...it is going to go straight into survivalism mode and burn up muscle tissue if you do it that way.
i cant believe that someon would argue AGAINST cardio in the morning on an empty stomach, but FOR cardio on an empty stomach right after training with weights.
you have got to be RETARDED
