fatigue question

[cyounger100]

so after listening too u guys i started saturday raising my cardio minutes too 35 minutes and up i do incilne treadmill at 4mph i was only doin 20 minutes 6 days a week after cardio i always lift 5 days of them weeks but every since i raised the minutes of cardio i am really tired after that i tried a shot of protein during lifting too add something too my stomach too give me energy but just felt weird the whole time is there anything i can do too give me more energy or am i just not used too doin that many minutes of cardio and i will adjust ?

[Matt]

Maybe change that shot of protien for some form of energy drink...

[Matt]

Btw, over training is as bad, if not worse than not doing enough..

Totally agree but.....if 35 minutes of cardio in the morning is causing you to overtrain your diet/rest/training schedule more than likely is terrible.

yea maybe im over training but how else can i include cardio and lifting i can only go in the morning right now so i cant do the twice a day thing and i am taking jet fuel before i do cardio maybe i should take that stuff after i do cardio right before lift i will try that 2moro

Any carbs, protein or fat?

[cyounger100]

none at all and let me ask u this i take it in the morning before i leave the house i get too the gym 45 min later is it possible after the cardio the pills are wearing off and i am sort of crashing of the caffeine thats loaded in these pills

[nbaylot33]

Are you doing cardio before the workout?

That very well could be the case.

[cyounger100]

yes im doin the cardio before i work out doin no less than 35 min on incline treadmill at 3.5 too 4mph

[FireGuy]

Are you working out immediately after cardio or later in the day?

[nbaylot33]

If you are working out immediately after your cardio you are most likely working out with no glycogen stores left and are lifting on no fuel... I would try to eat something before your workout and do cardio afterwards that way you can burn off the food before you start cardio. Make sure to get your bcaa's and protein in for good recovery afterwards

[cyounger100]

im workin out immediatly after cardio i usually drink like a half of a protein shake before lifting am i doin something worng there?

[nbaylot33]

You get glycogen from carbs. Have you tried doing cardio after the workout?

[cyounger100]

yea thats what i used too do started 2 weeks ago doin it before lift cause i was told needed too do cardio on empty stomach so thats y i was doin before cause as soon as im done liftging i head too locker room and drink liquid eggwhits and protein shake so i figured if i did it before then my stomach would b empty and then after lift i could replenish

[bmit]

Bro, definitely switch to cardio after weights. You want the energy for weights. you could even have a small meal before weights which you would burn off during weights. Then you would be doing cardio on empty stomach.

[bmit]

and take energy pill when you get to gym then

[sean_holland]

Separate the 2 things, or do the cardio after the weight training. You are so depleted on energy after 25-35 min of cardio and a Protein shake will do nothing to get your energy back up. Protein is repair, Carbs are energy. You need to have complex carbs about an 1 to 1.5hrs w. Protein (not shake) pre-workout and some simple carbs with your protein shake after workout.

Once your body gets low on fuel all the caffeine in the world won't help you push through that wall.
