I don't want to workout twice a day. It may not be perfect or optimal but if I don't do my cardio after weights I won't get it done.
THIS!
In the full video he explains that if you don’t want to go twice a day, do the cardio before the weight training for better results than after the weight training
@@eli3804 trouble is I notice most (reliable) fitness influencers and the literature say the opposite: dont do it beforehand because youll tire yourself and your muscles out, meaning you can only go so hard with the weights, reducing your progress. Theres pros and cons to all ways of doing it, i think the best thing is to just do what you enjoy and can stick to
this dude is so opinionated
@@pickleyeet8844 doing steady state cardio probably won't hurt your weight training, or just take a snack before the weight part, it dosent really burn much calories

"Don't skip cardio to protect your 275 lb squat." - Alan Thrall
Oh shit, I completely forgot about Alan Thrall! I haven’t had one of his videos recommended to me in years.
@@markcurry3083 he kinda sucks now
what had happened?@@hipdrive
@La-ld9mn he's a mature human who has a nuanced approach to fitness, he's not screaming about tren and ego lifting so losers don't like him

Trust me, if your not a bodybuilder getting on stage ( which is 99% of CZcams audience), and a natural, do your cardio. Nothing crazy, 15 to 30 min a session a couple times a week. You’ll still get bigger and stronger but you’ll feel better, be healthier and most importantly Look better 😊
You might want to check your priorities there
@@acruzp???
@@acruzpSounds to me like he's got his priorities in order just fine.
If anything maybe he should up his cardio sessions to 45 min.
@@whoknows852why 45 min as opposed to something like 25-30 min? Just curious. Maybe I’m following the wrong type of fitness pages but I’ve always seen anything more than 30 is excessive.
@@sdcisaacmost of the cardio people do is low intensity, so adding more time allows for some near end intensity. runners, bikers, long distance guys need not worry about this since their cardio is about maintaining a harder pace.
I like to do cardio for cardiovascular purposes. I really feel it has improved my weighted training performance.
He’s neglecting that some people do cardio to either improve their endurance or promote heart health
When do you do it? Right after weight training or few hours later or next day?
@@s9209122222 It depends on the intensity of the cardio (in terms of heart rate zones and time). For example, I like to do less than 10min of light cardio on the treadmill for warming up for my leg trainning. But when I run for longer distances on the treadmill, such that I get close to my max heart rate, I prefer doing this hard cardio session on a separate day. But this is simply what I like to do, and not necessarily an "optimal" trainning style. See what works best for you 💪
Exactly. If you want to do cardio, lift the faster.
It's amazing these weight training types take on cardio. True cardio: You must perform cardio in a specific way that has efficacy, (same way you must do muscle gain a specific way to get results) to get the CV health benefits, as well as functional (up 2 flights of stairs) benefits.-- Weight lifter take on cardio " cardio is for calorie burn , and any type of cardio is just fine, just do some cardio activity ( something they would scream against if they were talking about muscle gains)
Cardiovascular disease is by far the most common cause of early death. It is in everyone best interest to make the heart workout a priority.
Can I ask, at what point did he say people shouldn’t do cardio?
I think he means even if it’s not ideal for your weight training it’s better to do it in a non “optimal” way than not at all.
Diet is almost always the cause of heart disease, not lack of working out.
@@malcolmdcwwed I used to say everything to avoid cardio as well...Most ppls diet is shit, if they can't/won't change it and even if they do cardio is still beneficial.
@@tomsnowden6201 oh I'm not denying that it isn't helpful. I just meant op made it sound like it was the end all be all to curing cardiovascular disease when there are so many other factors.
Fuck it whatever works for you and gets you good results and progress
Bingo!
Uh yeah, but then why watch training videos?
Good fitness advice is always prefaced with "It mostly depends on your individual goals" and ends with "The most important thing is to do what you enjoy and can maintain".
Cardio is about heart health and not primarily for calorie burn.
Yeah ok... id like to see a bodybuilder get lean without it... follow the pros... they alllllllllll do cardio
@@sobered1344 what incentive is there for fitness influencers to lie about it?
If your diet doesn't have high fat content then the calorie stores aren't coming from fat in lifting. It's a death sentence to bodybuild or powerlift into your middle ages with no cardio, but a fat burn is not it
My goal is to be just an athletic person not a bodybuilder. Being too lean can be bad too. Like to be ripped but not unsustainably lean.
Cardio before you weight train. Eat then lift
@@sobered1344 Yeah because pro body builders are medically obese. They would all drop dead of heart attacks at 43 if they never did cardio, and some still do in spite of doing cardio. Not to mention, improving cardio improves your performance with weights which improves muscle growth.
I'm not afraid of cardio. I do 45 minutes of cardio after strength training and I have better physique now and more muscle mass than when I didn't do cardio.
This 👍🏻
How do you have the energy for 45 minutes of cardio after weights? Are you not lifting as hard or something?
@@kevinkchao8 Each one has its level of resistance.
I do my strength training and every set I train to failure and I still have the energy to run.
I've been used to this routine for many years.
What is too much for some may be normal for others.
@@ruimarques1979 I wanted to try this, but each time I do I would last 5 minutes before getting light headed and super fatigued. Do you think it has something to do with what I eat before training? I usually just have like 3-4 eggs, but maybe I should add more carbs.
@@kevinkchao8 I don't cut carbs, and a coenzyme Q10 supplement helps a lot to have higher energy levels.
5 days of weight training, 2 days of dedicated cardio and mobility sounds like the way to go
Yessir!
I do cardio because i feel a nice boost in energy for the rest of my day.
More than 3 reps is cardio, brother
😂😂😂
Couldn’t agree more.
😂😂😂
Exactly. If you want to do cardio, lift the weights faster.
If there's an s after rep youre cardioing too much
I do 12 minutes of warmup cardio, lift for an hour, then finish with about 20 minutes of cardio after. Sometimes it's the treadmill walk/jog, sometimes the elliptical, sometimes it's rowing. Over the past 8 months, my lifts have increased, I look bigger, and my cardio has improved. It's been very optimal for me. If I don't do cardio then, I can't fit enough time in elsewhere. I sweat a lot when exercising so I'm not spending the time to take two showers a day and go through 2 sets of clothes.
I do it similarly: 10 min warmup walk before weights and 30-40 min fast walk with 20kg weight on my shoulders. It makes me feel much much better during the day and my calfs are getting bigger coz I always walk uphill
Yes I am warm blooded sweet like a pig even in winter always been that way no matter of I weighed 240 or 160 does not matter. One reason I hate summer 😄
add protein and carb shake at the end of weight session before 20 min cardio
or may you doing it already
I agree. Cardio is a nice, moderate warmup
I was taught. Cardio one day, weights the next day.
Without the cardio I simply feel the inability to lift as long. Not because the weights are heavy but because the blood doesn't carry enough oxygen.
It's an old belief, but it works for me.
Cardio to strengthen (make more efficient) the lungs. Weights for the muscles.
I'm finally learning this for myself! I've been limited by my oxygen intake/cardio. I still have 3-6 reps in the tank and can lift heavier, but my heart doesn't let me, so I've made no progress in the past couple of months. Cardio and strength training need to go hand in hand. It's like having a Ferrari with the ability to soar at lightning speed, but you've got no gas in it, so it's not gonna go anywhere. The goal for me now is to add in cardio to see if it increases my work capacity.
Cardio is important for heart health. You’ll get way different and typically negative readings when you check your blood and blood pressure if you don’t do cardio. I used to be a 0 cardio guy, but got much more into it in my 30’s.
Woah Dr. Mike! Unless you're a Mr. Olympia, doing some cardio after weight training isn't going to kill your gains. If anything it'll improve your stamina and help you stay in a caloric deficit 💪
I’ve seen the long version of this vid and he says that he would recommend you do the cardio before the weight training session if possible. I agree with the point it isn’t going to kill your gains, just that it isn’t optimal for best results
esp if you're not doing HIIT. 20 minutes on the treadmill at a pace where you can talk and are burning fat. cardio, esp when you're getting older is still essential. you also don't want to burn out by going full tilt after a weight training session.
Most Olympia athletes do cardio after workout anyway when on prep
Being in a caloric deficit will kill your gains though, lol. Some cardio is fine if it's low-intensity, but HIIT or going for a run isn't beneficial to muscle protein synthesis at all. It actaully directly competes with it and if you bodybuilding, powerlifting or anything strength realted is your thing then stamina doesn't matter, though of course there are exceptions.
Agreed, this is regarded, most ppl work and have families to take care off, who in the right mind is gonna go twice a day 💀
In Canada, we have cold and snow for the biggest part of the year, so driving to the gym to walk on a treadmill is actually pretty common hahah. I also thought it was weird at first.
Coming from the northern US I was thinking the same thing. How lucky it must be to live within walking distance and not have 2 ft of snow between you and the gym.
Sounds like good cardio
sounds like you burn more calories by walking less distance that way
@@sadonionsneeze4248 it was -40 to -50 here for two weeks before Xmas. You burn off more than calories if you’re out in those temperatures.
I think one of the points he's trying to make is that going to the gym is a waste of time for certain exercises. Try sitting down and standing back up 1,000 times while watching your favorite TV show. Beats driving in 3' of snow and you're getting two things done at once 🤷♂️
I fucking LOVE fasted am cardio. I have an airbike at home, I set my water and workout clothes up, as soon as my alarm goes off, I roll out of bed, get dressed and hop on the bike. By the time my cardio is done, I'm awake and ready to start the day. Excellent way to wake up, plus I make sure to down a 1/2 gallon of water during my cardio so I'm super hydrated and feeling great. I hit the gym after work for weights.
Same.
I need to get a airbike lol
Cardio = increased lifespan. Dr. Peter Attia.
Cardio is not just for fat loss. There are many health benefits of cardio. The benefit of using some cardio machines is the minimal impact to joints.
Some of us don't have the luxury of having two sessions a day.
These sound bites are suited for pure bodybuilders and for those who only look at training from a narrow perspective.
People are overthinking this. If you're doing some form of cardio, as long as you're not running a marathon after strength training, there is no way you will lose or prevent muscle growth in any way shape or form. I suppose most people aren't running much more than 3-5K on the treadmill for a warmup/cooldown after a lifting session anyways, so just go ahead and do it.
this is kinda my thinking. Ik that a lot of sources say the "interference effect" is real and I believe them to an extent, but I wonder how much that effect applies to overage bf% and muscular people vs roided out bodybuilders
he has a longer much in depth video where it is explained and there are trade offs even if you are beginner.
@@Eustres where ?
@@BigDees19 look up “RP lifting Vs Cardio”
Yeah it's stupid. Lots of jack people do cardio before or after workouts. It doesn't stop gains.
Pro tip: do short interval, cardio sessions right after weight training (e.g., 8 to 12 sets of 200 m sprints), and perform longer, steady cardio sessions on the non-weight training days. This will give you the benefit of cardio on your strength training days without blunting the benefits of weight training as much.
I still grew up with all of the old school advice like: cardio on one day, weight training on the next.
Dr. Mike, you should do a longer video on as I did not understand what you were talking about. Thank you.
😂
Makes 2 of us
Ideally, but most people don't even want to workout more than 3 times a week, let alone space their cardio out from weight training and have double the amount of training sessions
Cardio is more important than being massive. I gain muscle easily naturally.. 30 mins of cardio a day keeps me able to do if that makes sense. If I stop doing cardio within weeks I'll start slacking on laundry, house upkeep etc. The heart needs that stress to stay motivated.
That’s an interesting point that you are bringing up. Ever since I integrated Zone 2 cardio training into my training routine I also feel better. Every month my average resting heart rate is improving and my heart rate variability went completely through the roof.
I feel better but I also feel more motivated.
It really rings true what you said: The heart needs movement to stay motivated!
1000%. The benefits of cardio apply to all of life. It gives you the positive mood and the endurance and the focus to get through anything. It’s a natural antidepressant, and a natural stimulant. I literally can’t function without regular cardio. The benefits of lifting apply to one single aspect of life - looking jacked
That is really a good point, I feel the same way. If I do not do cardio, I'll feel tired for the rest of the day and not motivated to do anything. 30 minutes light running after weight training is beneficial both to your mental health and heart health.
You said you gain muscle easily naturally so that means you are genetically gifted. Do you compete in bodybuilding?
Cardio shouldn’t be skipped entirely. If you’ve only done strength training you’ll start to notice that as you get bigger and heavier you breath more heavily doing activities. So it’s important to keep your cardio vascular system healthy.
I feel like this isn't applicable except for those top percenters
Agreed. Doing some cardio after weight training isn't going to kill your gains 💪
@@HerculesFit I mean, it is
It should be elaborated that multiple factors play into this such as bf%, supplementation, the intensity & overall time of you being in a catabolic state for & multitude of other factors especially if you're absolute beginner and you gain muscle by looking at a dumbbell.
It's unlikely that you're going to regress in your gains if you're keeping track of your progress and making sure to progress in your lifts and not going absolutely insane running 2 hours on an incline treadmill on a daily basis.
but the most important takeaway from my approach to this topic is to keep track of your progress, try new things if they work better and adjust things according to your goals and i have my full trust in you reaching your goals.
@@LVIII_LXI_XC_XC that’d be why you’re small
@@soonahero that'd be why you can't walk around the block without hyperventilating 😂
This Blocking issue has been rampant in decades of green screen, but modern Volume filmmaking makes that even more true. It only works in the right context
That was a huge mistake for me when wanting to build muscle and now that I cut it out after weights, the improvement is insane.
Just depends on your goals, cardio before weight training is a great warm up and gets the blood flowing. If you'd like be as lean, agile and as strong as you possibly can then cardio is a must!
i dont understand all the people saying that doing cardio before lifting weights will sap all of your energy and make you put less effort into lifting, which i think is ridiculous. I would run 1-2KM on the treadmill first thing, rest for 5 minutes or so and drink fluids and stuff on that small downtime, then hit the weights immediately after. It got my blood pumping and was a good warm up for my body. I guess everyone's different, but i never had a problem doing cardio before lifting
I just like it for 10 minutes to relax because of the stress from weight training
Yes i do it for few minutes as well like a cooldown
You can do cardio after working out, don't overthink it. His speaking non sense here
Dr. Mike always with the best advice. Thanks to your videos I am really improving and I cut out all of the bs I started with 😊
Driving in a car to the gym just to do cardio always cracks me up.
You must not live where it’s over 103 degrees most of year.
Andy Galpin talked about this with Andrew Huberman, that pro runners always benefited from adding weightlifting but pro weightlifters left something on the table by incorporating hard cardio work
amateur runners can definitely have non-running related benefits from weightlifting but pro runners will definitely lose speed from doing heavy weightlifting even if they don't add body weight. I have been combining running and lifting for the last 7 years and I can definitely say that lifting has affected my running much more negatively than vice versa. I can squat almost the same weight after a half-marathon a day before, but running a fast half-marathon after legs day is more problematic.
Yeah but people leave out the "hard" qualifier, or make the assertion with the implicit generalization that ANY cardio WHATSOEVER is gonna hamper gains and that's just not the case
This would make perfect sense if I would go for a crazy run on a treadmill or spend 45 min on a stationairy bike after already having done an hour of weightlifting, but I can't imagine working up a light sweat on a machine is going to hurt gains that much, right? I already need to spend +/- 20min biking to my gym, what am I gonna do to get home if "cardio" after weightlifting is bad? Teleport? lol
I have been riding my bike to the gym and back with a total of 40+ mins for over 16 years. Still made alot of gains.
I was waiting for Dr. Mike to recommend supersets, that'll really get your heart pumping.
Basketball, dance, or boxing 4 times a week bc it's fun AF. And I'm not stopping doing that for "gains" or for anybody.
People who think it's dumb to drive to the gym annoy me. YOU are welcome to walk when it's below zero, I am not that stupid.
For me it’s almost around the corner.Thankfully. It helps my consistency.
What's stupid about that?
Your Imagination: below zero.
Reality: mildly chilly 45 degrees.
@@thersten You obviously didnt live in the Midwest/North this January. In KC It was single to negative for a week straight. Then Single to 20 most of the month
@@thersten I live in MInnesota, we are BELOW ZERO on the regular but you just wanted to spout off and make someone feel dumb. Good thing, the dumb one isn't me.
I get it, but I still continue my cardio for 30 minutes after my weights in the morning. It is low intensity with an average walk speed up an incline. I also do another 20 minute walk later in the day. Works best with my time schedule and with the low intensity I do, I am not overly concerned with any possible .1% less muscle. I do fully understand your point though and shake my head when I see skinny guys weight train and then they go all out very high intensity on cardio. Makes no sense to me.
High intensity like sprints? That's ok, honestly what he's saying is pointless, sports players train for like three hours..no muscle loss
@@_baller Last I checked most sports players aren't going for maximum muscle mass as that is not their primary goal.
@@_baller What liquidcxxx said and also professional athletes that need a lot of muscle mass are often on the juice. If you want to combine cardio and strength training in the same day you should do low-intensity cardio a few hours before or after your strength-training. If you're doing high intensity sprints shortly before or after a proper workout you're asking for trouble.
@@Ryan_DeWitt oh are you? Lmao, they have more muscle mass than you
@@iSkyline1 so is Dr mike
I do core, joints, and cardio in the AM around 530AM then I do weightlifting at 4PM. It works wonders to separate them. A proper schedule with a proper body recomp diet is the best way to build muscle and lose fat if that’s your goal.
What do you do for joints? Smokin one before the cardio? Recomp is fine if youre already above 20 or 25 %bf, but the best way to build muscle or lose fat is to focus on one at a time. If youre in this for the long term there's no reason to try and stay super lean while trying ro build
A 20 minute session is all you need.
Facts 💯
I run a mile, do 3-4 sets of 2-3 muscle groups then run a mile then do 3-4 sets of 2-3 more muscle groups.
It gives me a break and pushes blood around the body.
Then at night I go run another 2-3 miles.
chicken lol
BS
@@dr.psycho5606 nope
Sure random person , I’m sure you do😮
Cardio first thing in the morning for me. Then strength training about 10 or 11 hours later after work.
Better to do cardio on one day and strength training on another. Are you doing sports specific training or just exercising as a hobby?
That’s what I do also.
@@iSkyline1 no. No it’s not. Lol it may be better to strength train in most cases but doing it
On different days?no dude.. sorry guy idk where you get your information from but just no….
@@LILJROD90 Also you didn't answer my question and what kind of cardio are you doing in the morning (low-, moderate- or high-intensity)?
@@iSkyline1 I finished the video and am still waiting for the point that Dr Mike said you should do cardio on separate days. All things in he said about cardio were true for the most part but he surprisingly missed the part about how great cardio is for your heart! But:
1: my cardio fits my schedule. I love getting up and starting my day with a ride on my peloton. I don’t have to leave my home I just go in the next room and boom. I’m there (plus I have a garage gym so I never have to leave home to train)
2: I don’t feel depleted or or Overly fatigued throughout the day. I do have a mostly desk job but I come home and get lots of stuff done and am useful around my house. My cardio doesn’t make me a lazy ass hole.
3: even with all I do at home I’m right at the Moderate-high activity baseline (10,000 steps). So cardio is necessary FOR ME.
Bottom line like Dr Mike said several times if it works for you and you enjoy it then by all means keep doing it. Not once did he say you have to do it on separate days as weight training. I absolutely freaking love it and it helps me reach and stay at my goals. And I feel amazing. I sleep like a baby. I have energy all day and it just kicks stars my day. And my heart is HEALTHY. Which again I was surprised he neglected to mention allllll the health benefits that do come from doing cardio.
*takes deep breath* I don’t know why I felt the need to explain myself to some stranger on the internet. We’re all here to get healthy and live life to its full capacity! Do what you do bother and I’ll keep doing what I do! God Bless!!! 😃
I've always thought this was a bad idea just from looking at it logically. Thanks Mike.
I love this guy hes big but funny and a great personality and very smooth
What i do is take a scoop of whey with me , lift weights, drink 30g whey protein and do my half hour of cardio. I feel like that's good enough for any muscle loss concerns. It's not practical for 99% of us to go to the gym twice a day or space it apart. Better to do the cardio when you can instead of not at all
The catabolic window 🤣
This bloke looks like a Star Trek character.
yes cardio is catabolic but some heart patients need it
sources: Drs Desn Irish
Peter McCullough, forensic cardiologist
I have two questions.
Is this more so a problem only for advanced weight trainees?
Would the "blunting effect" be negligible with low intensity and low impact cardio such as walking or swimming?
The blunting effect is BS this guy is full of it, do your CARDIO it will actually help you build muscle as a whole faster due to better circulation, stronger heart and many more benefits.
1. I would imagine so... This is a 1% of 1% idea. "Ideal" is often not really ideal.
2. Also probably... One of the blunting effects he may be mentioning is the idea of reducing the inflammation local to the muscle using a cardio machine (i.e. air bike after squats)
The likelihood of you doing enough cardio to effect your muscle gain is basically 0
Most people aren't doing enough
I do cardio after weights, because the weights are more important to me.
Cardio burns you out faster so it's better to do it after
Exactly. Do what you care about first. Most of us don't have time to workout and shower twice
Dr. Mike, I have found it profoundly easier to travel to the gym to do cardio because of the establishment of routine. I found that I just wasn't getting it done at the house on off training days. Actually traveling to a different location meant I was committed to seeing it through. I know that doesn't work for everyone and I wish I could just go crusing around my hood but I just need that extra little push.
This dude has become my goto guy. Exudes fitness wisdom. No bullshit.
I thought some cardio after weight training helps you recover, as long as it's not over-done
If it's slow & steady for a few min
Unless you're doing a marathon after each training session, you're not gonna lose muscle doing cardio
It helps you recover by slightly blunting the adaptation process from the lifting session. So yes you recover faster, but you also get a little bit less gains than you otherwise would’ve. It’s kinda like icing or taking an anti-inflammatory after lifting, sure it helps you recover, but you’re reaping less adaptations in the process.
the loss in muscle has more to do with cardio during a cut and the effects of low intensity cardio are much less significant than high intensity cardio, so a moderate amount of light cardio after training can be great on a bulk.
@@aguy3082take AAS enough to blunt muscle loss. Problem solved 💁♂️
I find that more often than not I don't have/want to have the time to split my sessions. How I try to offset this is that I get a minimum of 10k steps a day several hours after my workout. On my cardio days (boxing) I will do a moderately intense ab workout with machines. It's worked for me so far but it won't be optimal for getting me ripped that's for sure.
Lift weights and train martial arts. I do it 6 days a week. Want to incorporate more cardio but for now it’s limited to training MMA and warmups before lifting
What a blanket statement
Just go for a 30 minute walk at a decent pace right after dinner (or any other meal) 5-7 times a week. It's just as effective as 20 minutes on the elliptical a few times a week, plus you get some fresh air. Also, no gym thots doing stiff legged deadlifts 3 feet in front of you in booty shorts while filming themselves trying to catch you glancing at them for 0.36 seconds and then calling you a creep and posting it on social media.
That escalated quickly 😅
@@ssonicdeafmonkey😂😂
'Just go for a 30 minute walk at a decent pace' ' It's just as effective as 20 minutes on the elliptical a few times a week'
Have you ever trained super hard on an elliptical for 20 minutes? Because if you have you will know full well that it is far more intense than walking at 'a decent pace for 20 mins"
That second paragraph sounded a bit too specific...
It is different if you are doing LISS like walking on the treadmill...walking does not have an interference effect on muscle recovery/adaptation.
Or how about biking at 100-120bpm for 10-20min
@@utubebrowseupload That is also fine.
Excellent video. Thanks! 💪
HIIT can combine both. It works and builds muscle if properly structured.
The best form of cardio no one talks about is jumping rope! But I know a lot of people "skip" doing it since it requires more coordination.
1) Muscle sparing/full body.
2) Low impact/high frequency.
3) Portable/convenient.
4) Burns a TON of calories.
5) Killer for stamina/vo2 max.
I like jump rope but I'd hardly call it low impact, you're literally jumping continuously. If you're severely overweight it's not a good choice of cardio and could easily create joint pain and problems, but overwise yeah, if you're relatively fit already, jump rope is decent 👍
@dating6016 - You're micro jumping barely leaving the floor. So it is low impact when done properly.
But if we're being real...a person who is severely overweight like you mention, wouldn't have the cordination to jump rope in the first place.
Loveeee cardio before lifting… hate cardio after lifting
Same. Low getting that blood flowing before a lift. Makes me feel alive.
@robertmuro6605 @EmperorBeastKaido I thought I was the only one, a nice 25-35 minute cardio routine before the lift gets the blood flowing
I would love if you did a video on weight training for a marathon. I got my running schedule but i hate going to the gym. I want to know exactly what i need to work out in as little time there as possible 😂.
this makes no sense, please explain how cardio after weight training blunts the effects of the weight training assuming you're still getting sufficient protein, nutrition and recovery between weight training sessions.
I guess what Dr. Mike means is that you would ideally go straight into rest and recovery, skipping the cardio, for optimal adaptation. I doubt that half an hour of light walking would blunt much to be honest though.
cortisol
see the full length video, is about 30 minutes czcams.com/video/kfcaMF1ipvk/video.html
It's to do with signalling pathways, cardio upregulates ampk which blunts mtor. Mtor is the main pathway for signalling muscle protein synthesis.
It's just more bullshit pseudo-bro science. My best shape EVER was an hour of lifting followed by an hour of cardio. 215 sub 10% bf.
I actually walk to and from my gym adding an extra mile and a half to my cardio.I do cardio every workout as I am working on my endurance and pace as a new runner(at almost 63!😳).Then I do my lifting.My average time at the gym is about 3 hours total.Bear in mind I am retired and have nothing but time and the gym is part social for me as well.I get asked questions EVERY workout and am always glad to help and encourage other retirees 😊

I’m losing weight right now, halfway through losing 8 lbs in 6 weeks. I do 20 min of light biking after lifting each day. It seems to be working just fine for me. In fact, none of my lifts have gone down and most have been able to add a rep or weight to almost everything over 3 weeks, despite being an intermediate.
I’m between 16-18% body fat, maybe it wouldn’t work so well if I was shredded
20 minutes of light cardio after weights isn't a problem. I do the same, but I walk at an incline on the treadmill for 15 - 20.
Thank you brother👆
Very cool! 😁Enjoyed the video. Have a great week
I warm up with 15 mins of cardio before lifting, and do another 15 mins of stairs after.
Definition of bro science right there lol
it will "probably" effect the adaptations caused by weight training, sounding very confident there mate 🙌
Some of us dont exactly live in an area where walking around the block would be considered safe, unfortunately
The thing I hate most about post workout cardio is that I completely lose my pump and just feel terrible. Just wake up do it fasted and train later or at least 3 or so hours later.
I guess depends of the cardio. Also the pump would go away regardless. I prefer to do 15-20min of high intensity run on fast walk on an max incline. Personally I fell like its adding to my pump. The problem is long lasting cardio which is bad for muscle/strength gain, but I do believe 10-20min explosive cardio is adding to the progress.
Cardiovascular health has a correlation with cognitive performance. To me this is priority number one that’s why I do it before. I know they say it affects my lifts but to be honest my cardio and my music get me in the mood and give me some time to plan out my workout based on the availability of the machines at the time I get there.
Cardio feels good man. It loosens you up.
This improved my training results
It's ok to do it after than not at all if the scale isn't moving, if anything the best advice is to take a 10 min break and Gatorade before the cardio, and a walk around the block is much less cardio burn than an eliptical, unless someone is just trotting on the thing
This is bs. Only high intensity cardio will impact you, but if you're running after lifting then muscle gain is probably not what you're after anyway.
By all means, we'll listen to Above Aura over someone that has a doctorate in sport physiology.
@@brianforrester9670 feel free to blindly believe anyone you want mate
@@brianforrester9670 Having a doctorate doesn't automatically make someone right about everything. Shocking, I know
@@aboveaura4817 I will for sure blindly believe Above Aura over someone with a doctorate in sport physiology.
@@matyaskvapil7674 Yes because this dudes doctorate is worth more than the personal experience of countless people and actual scientific studies 🤡
Dr Mike. It’s 40 below out side. Ain’t nobody walking around the block.
I feel like this is one of those things that are different for people on roids set to compete and need to get every possible advantage they can, and for normal people that want to be as healthy as possible
Why send a message to avoid cardio? As exercise professionals, we should be encouraging people to do whatever form of exercise works for them. I’m surprised someone so educated would put this out there.
Proof that degrees don't mean shit if you don't have common sense! The guy is only 39 but looks 49! I wouldn't take longevity advice from him!
I enjoy doing my cardio prior to my workouts and it’s all part of the time spent at the gym
His passive aggressive smart a$$ remarks hit different
Driving to the gym for Cardio because I love the gym🫡
you really godda identify your fitness goals and build routines around it most guys don't have 3 or 4 hours to waste in the gym everyday it's nice life goal but for most of us it's just not possible so identify what is your body goal and then design your routine to fit the fit in with that goal
Good tipp, thx! I usually RUN for 15 minutes before starting a workout, so that I‘ll change
When Mike says “probably” I don’t take him as seriously 😂
Cardio, especially the HIIT (runninf stairs up and down) helped me tremendously with heavy squats and deadlifts. Nothing is more frustrating than running out of breath while you're in fact still have enough strength left inside to do more or heavier reps.
Thank you for this
Doing cardio after your workout will affect your progress so little that it really doesn't matter
This dudes skull makes me feel like I’m on shrooms
Walking on the treadmill for 4 times a week has drastically improved my cardiovascular system. My blood pressure was 160/90, it is now 114/78. I haven't checked my cholesterol or triglycerides but I'm sure they have also come down significantly. That combined with my heart healthy diet has done wonders for me. I also weight train for 4 times a week as well. My BMI has drastically gone down. Basically, no way could I have done it without doing cardio
As long as you’re not doing intense cardio IE beyond zone 2 you’ll be ok. It’s more the high intensity cardio that begins to blunt the muscle building. So if you like to run or do HIIT then yes separate those sessions by 4-6 hours. You could also do peripheral heart resistance training to get in cardio while getting a crazy pump!
Yeah…I'm gonna continue doing cardio so I could live longer 👍🏾
Not to mention, being that you are trying to be in a caloric surplus while building muscle, doing cardio requires eating even more food than you already are having to eat to stay in a surplus.
For those interested, it's called the interference effect when u do cardio and gym one after the other
