How do we feel about light cardio on “off” days overtraining brehs...?

[Luck]

I actually feel like it’s better than not doin anything because I do 2-3 day splits back to back twice a week. On my seventh day I’ll still do cardio on the bike, walkin incline or some bullshyt and my body will feel better than if I actually rested and did absolutely nothing

That with stretching and the whirlpool has me feeling like I can lift everyday if I wanted to, I don’t believe in overtraining anyway for an experienced lifter if they know what they’re doing and how to structure their workouts.

What y’all think about it

I'm doing cardio in let days on a cut so it's probably fine

Just keep it low impact. I wanted to do cardio in my bulk but life for in the way and I managed to control my weight without it. But I think it's a good idea.

I'm lucky in that I can lift at lunch so night time is like a new day for workouts

Keeps the body loose...especially if you need it.

How the hell could it be a bad thing

I DO CARDIO 4-5 TIMES A WEEK
SO I NEED MY OFF DAY JUST TO REJUVENATE MY LEGS.

I do hiit 3 days a week and do cardio after every weight lift session. An off day is needed


Admittedly not doing anything on off days feels weird

I agree . too many ppl think overtraining is pain ...nah real overtraining is when your cns stops firing you get flu symptoms you can't pick up a pencil and ya "man won't jump" for a day or 2 shyt only happens if you do a suicidal amount of training ie full body everyday for 2 3 hrs a day like a fukking idiot
As far as cardio on off days y'all know how it starts lol first its just a couple stretches and light shyt then a fast walk then u get some pep in ya motherfukking step and 30 minutes later you've got in some miles lol

@Luck the CNS shyt is real especially when you do powerlift/heavy compounds. As it’s been said, moderate cardio...light accessory work and even a roller will help

Muay thai work out on cardio days friend. Better than running for these tarnished kneecaps

 

[WesCrook]

You can never do too much cardio....

 

[Nintendough]

Absolutely not overtraining. What if you do physical work on your days off to pay bills? You bout to call out to heal up? Nah take some powders, take some naps, eat more and do it.

Man, I HATE off days. I may not lift every day, but I gotta do something. Play golf, run some hoops, 45 on the treadmill....shyt, something.
