max muscle growth and cardio

[millionairemurph]

I lift in the morning before i go to work. I work all day as a carpenter and do jiu jitsu/mma at night. i really want to get my cardio up to a high level. I only have one "off day" and i usually still lift that day.
So i am maybe wanting to add cardio to my morning workout. I usually lift for an hour to an hour and a half.

So the question is will doing a half hour to fourty five minutes of modertate cardio make me too catabolic after lifting? I would do this 4-5 times a week. Should i maybe sip my pwo shake? I just cant seem to find the energy to do much after mma.

I Would Say Yes...unless You Have A Decent Amount Of Drugs In You; Even At That I Wouldn't Do It....did I Just Say Taht...i've Been Doing That The Last 2 Months Hahaha. Getting Much Better Cardio Vascular Results Lifting In The Am And Coming Back At Night For Intense Cardio For 20 Minutes At 166bpm...i Suppose There's No Right Or Wrong Way To Do Things But To Retain More Muscle I Suggest The 2nd.
