Working out in A.M. with PM cardio?

[IcedEarth]

Thanks for the input everyone! I'll be starting this today and if anyone is interested I'll keep you posted.

My R-ALA caps are only 100mg, so I'm assuming when it was mentioned to take a tab that yours came in 200 mgs? I'll try 200 to see how it goes.

I'm guessing I can find glucose tabs in the pharmacy?

Thanks again!

I keep hearing "flax" and i searched for it, but never really get an explanation of what it is. I guess im just new to the game, but what the hell is flax? other than an EFA.

Flax comes in seed form, or most commonly as Flax seed Oil. Most grocery stores carry it now in the psuedo-health sections they have, in the cooler.

And Swole, I did a search today and read an article regarding your raised metabolic rate after cardio, and the difference between morning and evening sessions. While it stated that morning was most likely better for this, it also cited studies which said that weight training cause the highest prolonged elevation of the metabolism. If this is true, perhaps weight training in the a.m. while cutting and doing cardio later in the fashion mentined above could be extremely effective. Maybe just extra wishful thinking on my part

Any thoughts?

That's an interesting interpretation. Could you please post the studies, you've piqued my interest.

While I don't have the studies themselves, this is the link to the article. Click on the "click here to read the whole article" link. This was actually posted before by someone on here which is how I found it.

The article doesn't state directly A.M. weight training is better, but that it can help with the metabolism for up to 24 hrs. afterwards. Previous to that however, it states that sleeping actually inhibits this (regarding cardio at least). Which I why I suggested that perhaps if weight training elevates it higher, and sleeping inhibits it, would lifting in the a.m. be even better?
I found it after I originally posted so I was just curious as well.
