Help a brother out ! Cardio : before or after weight training ?

[Psychosis]

I do 30 min hiit before... gives my prewrk time to kick in. Hit the weights. Finally hit the stairmaster or uphill treadmill, powertower, etc on my way out. Rock a hoody, you'll cut drastically.

Like others ha e said .Weights, then cardio.

 

[Da_Eggman]

I do 20 mins before then 20 mins afterwards

Weight lifting is cardio, do them on separate days

Weight lifting isn't enough cardio and doing them on different days isn't neccessary. You would be doing one a lot less if you did. I do both on the same day but to each its own.

Just started doing it this way...was doing it reverse for the longest.

 

[Swirv]

I do weights, cardio, weights and cardio again. I’m enjoying the results.

Put enough weight on a squat bar and rep out 12 reps with little rest for in between and tell me that ain’t enough cardio...........

Still not enough breh. The Rock does the same thing and still does 50 mins of real cardio a day.

He has to put that dat dere cell tech to use.

That said, people neglect not working in intensity on lifting and the cardio that can provide. No need to lift slow AF for an hour then spend an hour on the treadmill.

Last part was general, not directed at you.

LMAO

sometimes you need to just respond "ok" and move on. i'm too old man, i save my energy for the gym.

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

cardio after or integrate into the workout...

warm up

super set
1-2 mins of cardio (jump rope, incline sprints, jumping jacks, burpees, high knees, etc)

super set
1-2 mins of cardio

super set
1-2 mins of cardio

if you're feeling like you have more in you, 3 min mile on the bike w/ 30 sec rest x 3

stretch

go home

Still not enough breh. The Rock does the same thing and still does 50 mins of real cardio a day.

you're also not the rock...i train more like ADD just mentioned...just posted my routine above. my heart rate stays anywhere from 75-95%, usually burn 450-650 calories in 50-55 mins...seems like enough "cardio" from a lift day to me

@ocmfII

thats more muscle endurance + cardio as a secondary effect

 

[The ADD]

No

Cardio is generally (as we are discussing) a form of exercise that increases your heart rate. You have it backwards. The heart rate elevation is primary with the secondary effect on muscle tissue.
