That is untrue.

The body's preference is to conserve energy.

This is done by lowering the metabolic rate and expending 'expensive' tissue.

'Expensive' as alluded to above, refers to tissue which is highly active metabolically.

i.e. musculature.

At rest muscles burns kcals.

We've evolved to ditch proteinaceous tissue with preference...not fat.

In the overall scheme of things, it matters little for someone using a high androgen load.

But for the average dude, i.e. non-drug-using dude, post-workout cardio is superior.

I do pwo cardio solely during contest prep.

If i need to add another session... I either consume a normal meal prior to it, and work a small bodypart followed by cardio.

Or.. i consume aminos/liver/BCAAs and get to it.
