Cardio Fat Burn after weights workout??

[workoutfreak078]

I believe the research is considered broscience.

There are many successful bodybuilders AND countless individuals who got ripped by cardio after weights. I am not going to go into the science because I don't feel like citing articles, but I believe it has been stated that PWO cardio is primetime for fat burning.

I agree. I am one of those people that got shredded from doing cardio after weights. I do high-intensity cardio though. I never lost a pound of muscle doing this. I would lift for about 45 minutes to an hour, then I would do high-intensity cardio for 20 minutes, then have my PWO nutrition. It works wonders.

Agreed! Same here. Never had any problems doing either high or low intensity after workout session. I got better results from high intensity and lower volume than I did with low intensity and higher volume. Sprints shredded me up real good and it seemed to shape my quads really nicely.

I said I was one of those people who had success from it. I never stated scientific facts or anything. I have read some articles stating that it can be catabolic doing this, and some stating that it won't burn off muscle if you do not exceed 20 minutes post-workout.

I even did this during PCT, and months after my cycle, without losing strength or muscle. It can work for some people, so it can't be a scientific fact that it doesn't work.

theoretical science based on physiology and blood tests, there is also physical science that could potentially disprove the real "science" behind it. By that I mean like workoutfreak is stating, Yes he is increasing his cortisol level and theoretically setting himself up for catabolism, but in real world application he is not (he's not the only one) so there is some validity to it. Perhaps it is the true impact of cortisol, or other physiological implications... Albeit we don't have an actual study of this actual mode of exercise, and its stimulus and result relationship.
