good idea to do cardio on legs day or day after legs day? should i let my legs recuperate? tnx
Personally I would fall over if I was to do that, I would leave cardio for another day,OR do cardio to warm up for your leg day, but dont do too much and wear yourself out.
iam talking about am cardio by the way. i think the logical choice would be not to do cardio on legs day so i can conserve for leg workout, also not to workout following day so my legs can fully recover and recuperate. what do you think bro?Quote:

For what it's worth, I do cardio the morning of leg day, but not the morning after. Most people at my gym disagree with this, they feel that the blood flow from the cardio helps recuperation. I, however, don't give a $hit what they say, as they are all my b1tches.
I do cardio on leg days, but then again i'm a cyclist so it needs to be part of my routine. I don't do as much cardio as other days though, and it's mild and done right after lifting on leg days.
Thats a tough one, I think cardio might be OK in the am on a leg day b/c by the time you are going to hit legs they should be recovered from cardio. I think it would be a better idea to do it in the am on a leg day as opposed to the day after a leg day b/c the day after your are going to be wanting your legs to recover, and doing cardio wont allow that to happen.Quote:
