Cardio Question

[Maxim1056]

Ok is this over training 30 min of cardio, intense 2 hours workout at the gym then another 30 min of cardio afterwards.....would i lose muscle or would it not be benificial to do the xtra 30 min of cardio after i workout???

30 minutes of cardio prior to hitting the weights is catabolic. Lifting for two hours may be overtraining...it also seems like severe overkill...how can you maintain intensity for that long?

post workout cardio would be preferable to preworkout.

Definitely over-training, I don't train over an hour.

youll get over trained real quick with that routine. id drop the 30 mins of cardio before and cut that 2 hours of iron time in half. It might work alright to workout for 2 hours straight but youd prolly get alot more bang for your buck doing 45-60 mins of pumping iron.

I find cardio much easier and affective on non lifting days(2 hours minimum 2x weekly).

easy, i see people workout for 2hrs all the time but they bullshit for prolly a hr and a 1/2 of their workout

i like to do my cardio after my workout

lol, good call, bro....I see it all the time too.

[Maxim1056]

sometimes its not 2 hours only on the days i do dbl body parts my workout is like this

Mon- Heavy Chest short workout

Tues- Back And Bis long workout

Wed-no gym just cardio

Thurs-Shoulders and tris long workout

Fri-Legs and light chest semi long workout

so its only the tues and thurs which are around 2 hrs mon and fri are about an hr sometimes longer if i throw Misc things in like forarms and neck and bs stuff

[Maxim1056]

Also im on test c 500mgs a wk and EQ 300 mgs a week so i got that helping me keep the intensity

[Maxim1056]

And stats are

22 yrs old
260lbs
6'3
dunno BF im gonna get it done soon at the gym

[TR'05]

You be the judge, bro. I would highly suggest nixing the pre workout cardio, though. No point burning through glycogen stores prior to pumping.

[Maxim1056]

yea only reason im doing pre-workout is i have a police agility test next thurs, and im having trouble with the mile and half run....need to do it in 12:25 and my fastest so far is 13:50. So i run before so im at full strength energy wise, im gonna cut it out after next thurs and only do post workout cardio

Hit the 30 minutes right when you awake. then pump Iron in the afternoon,
