I wanted to raise a question to everyone to get some thoughts flowing........
I do AM cardio about 4-5 days a week. On the other 2-3 days I do PWO, sometimes double sessions (morning, PWO)
I have noticed good result with both......hence my question.
Everyone says lypolisis starts 20 minutes into your cardio session, regardless of intensity. That is why 45-60 minutes of low intensity is recommeded in the morning. Leaving catabolism out of this argument, wouldn't you burn more fat PWO than AM cardio........ If am cardio takes 20 minutes to tap into fat, thus only producing 25-40 minutes af energy from fat.
However, I lift heavy......not fast but heavy...... for a good 50-75 minutes.
Now, I can guarantee that my average HR in that time is in the 125 BPM range. (which is optimal for FAT loss) Not to mention glycogen depletion.
If I then did PWO cardio, wouldn't lypolisis already have started. So, say I do 35 PWO cardio.....this would give me 35 minutes of lypolisis versus 25-40 in the morning. If I pound glutamine pre-PWO cardio and a PWO shake immediately following cardio, wouldn't this limit catabolism a great deal.(not to mention tren/prop).
Just wanted some thoughts and discussion on a very contraversial subject.
