My strength is higher than ever so I know I am not losing muscle in fact my chest, legs and arms are bigger and more defined than ever.

    You need to be careful who you listen too I hear PT's in my gym say that you should take in a high carb meal before cardio for energy?? WTF??!?!?

    yea there are a lot of good PT's out there but there are also a ton of horrible ones. i guess thats what happens when you get certified for a profession after about 8 hrs lol.

    Great answers thank you

    Would it be ok to do light anaerobic cardio meaning doing it to the point where you are just breaking a sweat after WORKOUT!!!! and sipping on a protein shake.

    What I mean is do my workout get my protein shake and do light 40 min mild cardio.

    Do it first thing in the morning at 65% mhr. Some people do not even sweat at that rate. I do but I am a sweaty bastard who is also taking ECY. I would not recommend cardio PWO that is the time for your nutriants(sp).
