    if you have to do it like that, I'd do weights first, then protein recovery shake, then cardio.

    i am doing cardio for ultimate fat loss if i do it after my weights and after pwo wont i be wasting the pwo? wouldnt the pwo be burned during my cardio and not fully utilized for recovery?

    can someone please tel me the logic of doing cardio after the weights? if your concern is energy loss from cardio this is not a problem as i am keeping my strength, i think muscle catabolism is more of an issue but what do i know any suggestions?

    its pretty much a catch 22

    you would have a better workout if you did not do cardio before
    but you are risking that window after your workout which is pretty crucial.
