Never train after cardio. If anything, train first then do the cardio.........BUT...........
It's HIGHLY ideal you do cardio apart from your weight training session. Ideal programs have periods of lipolysis and periods of anabolism. This is how body composition changes occur. I believe those to be far superior to just "weight loss".

yeah but with lifestyle it is really hard to find the time to go to the gym twice a day...
i know i shloud separate cardio and wheight lifting but i can't...
that's is pissing me off... PWO lifting + cardio shake is also not easy to deal with...

Nice, exactly the stuff I was referring to..Quote:

Now you have the tools and places/times for both. Get that diet in order, and you're golden!

hehe thanks alot SC
Yeah, no problem bro.
Also, DON'T believe the b.s. in the other thread about a.m. cardio being catabolic. It's AST pushing their supplements the same way Ronnie Coleman got buff using 19 Nor-Andro.
Ignorance is catabolic. It runs rampant at times.

Find a local park to do your morning cardio. If the weather is too cold just pack on the layers...works for me!Quote:

Just stay in the HR range for a good 40-45 mins and your okay. Disregard the # of cals being burned...your main concern should be melting away the fat deposits...by allowing your body to use fat as an energy source since it has nothing else to reach for (reason for the empty stomach).

I'm 19yo and 190lbs and i find that i burn around 400-500 kcal in 30 minutes when i'm the elliptical trainer and in "the zone". So that should give you a good estimate where your heart rate is...
I would like to stay in 65-80% HR range but i can never tell because the machine dosent want to read my HR for some reson, I dont know if im doing it wrong, I though you just have to grip the sensor and it takes you HR but it never works for me when i do itQuote:

I cannot say for you because I don't know what your taget heart rate is. I sue one of those LifeCycle eliptical machines often and it automatically sets and adjusts the intensity based on 65% of my target heart rate. According to it, I burn between 750 and 800 cals in 45 min. When I use the stairmaster, I it does the same, but it says that I have burnt 550 cals in 45 min at the same heart rate. I suspect one of them is lying.Quote:

Anyone ever told you its beccause you have no heart. -- Sorry, I couldn't resist.Quote:
