Well Ive read this thread and Ive come to several conclusions:
1. The senior members on this site rock
(not kissin @$$ i swear)
2. There are more ignorant newbs when it comes to nutrition and supplementation then I previously thought.
***(not intended to flame anybody, just very aggravated by the way this hotshot who got banned gave 'tude to guys who were trying to help him)***
with that said, allow me to divulge my question intended for Rambo.
I agree with everything you posted when you originally started this thread. As most normal people do, I understand that 45 minutes of cardio will not burn off hard earned muscle when kept at your target heart rate (45 minutes doesnt mean 45 minutes of gut wrenching all out running for those who need clarification)
My question is simple, and I find many differing opinions on the matter, so ive decided to post to the pros on here (since you guys definitely help in every other department, much appreciated). Rambo, you advocate a good 45 minutes of cardio per day. I agree, but for clarification purposes, when would you recommend this be done?
IMO, I'll do cardio at most for 20-25 minutes per day, coupled with my workout. I think I could do 45 minutes preworkout, but due to time constraints and lack of accurate heart monitor readings, measuring my heart rate would become a workout within itself.
Anyway, what do you think about A.M. cardio, before breakfast? Now personally, I believe WEIGHT loss can be drastically enhanced, but only because I firmly believe that since your body is working on nothing (keep in mind, I'm referring to cardio training BEFORE ever ingesting food on a given day) that you will in fact, burn muscle. Heck, I could be wrong, perhaps carb or fat storage is affected and thus burned more quickly. But where is the science to either prove or refute this? I haven't really been able to find a solid answer on the matter, and myself along with other trainers have a different perspective on the matter.
Just lookin for opinions guys, and if you happen along some hardcore info to prove your theory, I'd love to see it.
Always itchin to learn...
