cardio after working out

[ray0414]

a few times i ran before i did my work out in hte past and my strength went way down cause i was already winded.now i just do a quick warmup before working out. and yea never do your full cardio before lifting weights.
the thing is that after we are done with the weights, the muscles are starving for protien, so should we wait on the protien til after the cardio and just take BCAA's then do the cardio?

This is what I switched over too towards the end of my cut, lift, 10-15g BCAA's, 30 minutes low intensity cardio, then PWO nutrition...I had been doing AM fasted cardio prior to this....But yeah, def dont ever do cardio pre-workout, unless its just a really light, short warm-up. Depletes glycogen stores needed for lifting.

A lot of people say to do cardio before weights, as a warm-up. I like to do it at the end. To me, the weights are why I'm there, so I want to hit them when I'm at my strongest. If I do a half hour of cardio, I may be a bit tired and not get the same workout.

I'll do abs when I get in as the warm-up, and always have a good, light breakfast before.
