How much cardio is too much cardio?

[hollowedzeus]

Yeah I known sprinters do weight training of sorts..especially front squatsand stuff for the core..just saying that sprints intervals alone build muscle mass opposed to just running long endurance cardio alone. But your right about it stalling gains or whatever..I seen this bodybuilder at my gym an he said the only cardio you will find him doing is running bAck in line at the buffet

Hahah that's brilliant! I usually have bcaas on me during my work out unless I'm doing fasted cardio. In which case I would take yohimbine and sip water. I always have glutamine after work outs

BCAA and glutamine, as Marsoc said, is a tremendous aid for not getting catabolic. So if always include that when doing cardio, or lifting for that matter.

Interval training is supposed to be better for increasing stamina without tearing away at muscle mass. But I don't know if it will be as effective when it comes to fat loss.

But main point here is that you can get very muscular and still do lots of cardio.
So you don't need to be afraid of it IMO.
(But use supplements, BCAA are actually fat burning as well as anti catabolic)

I take optimum nutritions Pro bcaa plus glutamine !! Lol. It's not sugar or carbs at all maybe...perhaps 1 gram carbs so it won't effect your fastand it will fuel your body
