I have no choice but to ride my bike to the gym for 20-25 mins and then do Strenght training. Also have to ride back home for 20-25 mins. Did make alot of strenght gains tho.
smh I have to ride 50 but eh
Man don't fret because I did that my senior year of high school and made great gains. Leanest i ever was. Miss those days
@@nathanielnubile2150 trying to bulk tho smh
@@nathanielnubile2150 same here
You guys have a great channel
Thanks for this information!
Damn I’ve been doing it before all this time. Thanks brahs.
At 48 i do 10-15 minutes high intensity cardio prior to weights and i am in better shape than doing the reverse 20 years ago. Less injuries and elevated adrenaline for lifting i believe i can go harder during lifting
That’s a message many people should follow. Too many people these days are focused on lifting heavy weights rather than improving their cardiovascular fitness. Especially as you get older. Heavy lifting puts massive stress on the body and there is very little evidence that increased muscle mass does anything for overall health and may even shorten life expectancy.
@@---df5sr i’ve never heard weight training is bad for you the only time it’s bad for you is if you hop on Gear stay natty improve your muscle mass naturally is good for you. But cardio is important as well but I struggle with which one do I do first.
I'm been to the gym on and off but I been going consistently for 2 months decided to stick with it I started doing cardio before weights and if anything I feel like I have more energy for strength training but to each their own
Thank u sooo much 💚💫💛
No problem 😊
How can you do cardio before weights? You need all your energy to lift.
Because not everyone has the same goals. Personally my goal is to have good condition/endurance as I play soccer almost every Friday and Sunday, so I gotta be able to do sprints consistently for at least 90 minutes 🤷🏼♂️ I still lift but it’s not my MAIN focus to lift heavy.
@@chrisjay1111 Same, I wanna be shredded too, but as someone who does boxing, my main focus is staying in the ring as long as I can without getting tired AS WELL as being strong enough to knock the fuck out of my opponent.
I personally do cardio before toning muscles. The cardio gets me pumped up and ready for more. But I personally at my best do 15 minutes cardio before my muscle training and then 15 minutes after. So total 30 minutes cardio which is the perfect amount. I personally do it that way. It also allows you to go harder by breaking your cardio down in sessions instead of burning yourself out
@@brianachong5390 Same way. I dislike straight cardio, so I split this way, or do it while resting between sets.
@@brianachong5390 makes so much sense. I don't get all these bann on cardio before weights.
What about doing cardio in the morning, and then doing a lifting session later in the day? Hours in between? I want to work on endurance and cardiovascular fitness but I also want to build muscle abs make strength gains
same bro same
Same goals bruhh
What is priming?
it’s basically getting your muscles ready for the exercises that you are about to do. It’s like a preview of a movie lol. For example, if I had leg day, I would do stretches or slightly less difficult leg exercises before continuing with my workout.
What about cardio during your rest sets? Example I do a set rest for 60 seconds then I jump on a bike or stairmaster for 2 minutes and increase by 2 minutes between sets??
Two minutes is too long 25 to 35 sec
What about Hitt. I do hitt with weights or without weights then legs. Should I still do strength before?
If your goal is to lose weight, yes. Weight lifting raises metabolism. do all form of cardio after weights. hiit or liss doesnt matter.
Just do you
Why would anyone who isn’t a professional bodybuilder want to prioritise weight training? There is absolutely no correlation between muscle mass and longevity of life expectancy. There is however a clear and well studied link between cardiovascular health and a higher life expectancy. I feel that everyone should focus on a good cardiovascular fitness before trying to get “jacked” if they are aiming for a healthy body. Would say “it’s just my opinion” but it’s actually just a fact
Isn't this all subjective based off the definition of cardio? If someone jumps on a treadmill and walks for 10 minutes at 3 mph on a level 9 incline, depending on their fitness, their heart rate may not get over 140. So a relatively low heart rate. Are we considering this cardio? Or when you say cardio are you referring to running to miles or doing tabata or something like that?
I think they should specify because I've really tried the weight workout before cardio and I just don't get enough energy to complete the weight training.
i do 5 km (3 miles) of the ecxercise bike after my leg day only. I do legs 1 time a week sometimes 2. I dont want to lose any fat im on the leaner side already, i want to gain muscle, is doing the cardio the way i do it killing my gains?
am i getting any benefits from this ?
They missed a section of lifters…I know ppl who will just leave the gym after they lift and would never end up doing cardio unless they did it first
👋 I do 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after. It's the only way I'll do it. And even then, I sometimes skip the second 15. Cardio is boring. Lol.
What about before and after?
It all depends on goals. But if you jump and fat jiggles. You need to do cardio.
😔
😅 me
I've gone from obese to about 15% bodyfat with very little cardio, you really just need to eat less.
I hear that but if I don’t do it before I lift … I’ll lift and walk out of the gym cause I’m too tired after lifting.
Also 20 mins walking on an incline is not that draining for me.
Cardio gets me pumped. Even if it's 10 mins, my blood needs to start flowing
Isn’t it bad to do cardio and weights the same day period bc ur body can’t recover two different things at the same time
I think when people add cardio to their routine it’s only for a short period. I started finishing my strength training with 10-15 minutes of cardio and haven’t found it to cause any issues.
im confused. I do cardio in morning and weights in evening so is it still the same>?
No cause u eat more meals in-between I assume? You replenish glycogen after you train you'll be fine.
@@julianmeredith3125 makes sense. Yes I eat and also get sleep.
@@anki2451 what happens with weight training you use most/all glycogen when training. After training you will have low glycogen so the only thing to burn after is fat. As long as you do it right after
@@hudson.kemnitz I've been doing fasted cardio every morning for two weeks now.
@@anki2451 how are the results?
This does not make sense. Do you mean lifting after cardio is not the same as lifting before cardio?.. only because of the amount of energy you are assumed not to have.. ?
If you lift before cardio, your body utilizes glycogen first, which is energy derived from whatever you've had during the whole day, and when you're done lifting you should do cardio, which will now derive energy from excess fat that you may have. Since I was following the exact same routine for last 2 months, I have managed to lose 12 kgs, although gains have not been as good as I wanted them to be, but it's still good, considering my primary goal was fat loss.
@@ozymandias6644 i appreciate your input
They're actually very knowledgeable. If you watch a lot of their videos and try their methods, I think you'll be in for a sweet surprise.
@@ozymandias6644 what is your cardio looking like after lifting bro? Will follow this hehe
@@ozymandias6644 did you do your cardio right after you were done with the lifting? or did you do the cardio after few hours after lifting?
Feels like 1 out 3 of these guys are just riding the clout of what the other 2 carries
Oh no. I've been running five miles before every weight training session for the last two months. F#$%!!!
That's ok, you just improved your stamina, now you will do better at lifting, and cardio at the end. Nothing will be wasted!
I look at these guys and none of them look like they have the best body in the world, so why those their opinion matter?
I thought the same thing, I looked more into it and I was surprised
Browse their names and be wowed. It's obvious they are knowledgeable.
I wouldn't judge them. A man can be in a peak condition without looking like Conan the Barbarian. Those extremely buffed dudes are all on roids, anyway.
they are also all in their 40s or late 30s. most people won't look as good at that age.
You’ve been conditioned to think that the juiced "Marvel super hero" body is a normal body and not an exception. It’s not even achievable for the average person.
These guys for being natural are absolutely "ripped" - don’t let aesthetics be your only metric for fitness level/fitness knowledge.
