Yep, giving it your all should be on everything. But when I do both on the same day/workout. It isnt' the giving it my all, that makes it a problem doing one before the other. It's the energy, kind of like a battery. When it's fully charged everything is great and you can get a great workout in. But after you stop, you've used a part of that energy, so even when you give it your all on your second exercise your starting at a lesser energy level. And for me personally it's easier to push myself past those problems doing cardio than it is when lifting.

I would switch to one each day, but for the goal I have it just isn't an option right now. Once I get cut up more and to the bf I want, I'll switch it to only doing cardio on non workout days. thanks for the suggestion

Your last point verified what I've heard thanks

Miss LeDix

Good points. True. Love the battery analogy.

I used to do cardio in the morning, then weights and more cardio at night. This was a while ago, when I had a lot of BF to lose. **NOT SAYING THAT YOU NEED TO DO THAT** Just wanted to agree that different people with different goals need to do different things.

Ugh.

My little man!

I have plenty to lose. I have a good start going though.

Yeah frustrating isn't it. Wish there was one magic solution to it all. that worked for everybody.

glad you liked the battery analogy

Sure there is, MUSCLETECH!!
I do cardio after I work out too. I agree with Dvlmn that doing it before drains you too much. I got the name of that stuff I was telling you about, and I was pretty damn close with the spelling the first time. It's called;
'Glucosamine Sulfate'
it says on the bottle that it's support for connective tissues and joints. It's not very expensive, hope it helps pal

hey now, be nice about the Muscletech, I still like there Nitro-Tech protein bars. But that's just because they actually taste good lol. If I could find another one that has the same p/c/f ration and actually tasted good, I'd probably switch.

Thanks for the info, I'll go pick some up tonight. I'll let ya know if it helps me to.

Scorpio Gurl

Thanks for the help dvlmn, I guess i should be doing it after then.. huh..
I usually have a sh!t load of energy before i go anyway.. and after i do cardio, i have even more.. i get all pumped.

What is the ratio for your nitro bars?

Shake Ya A$$!!!!

Eating one at the moment lol go figure 35g/6g/6g Not sure the ratio that is off the top of my head. Oh yeah and 290 calories.

Your just all full of energy aren't ya

I would do it whenever your the most comfortable with it. But if your trying to cut (which you don't look like you need to) then I'd do it after the weights for a while, see if you like the results better than how your doing it now.

good choice on the bar after the workout

and no prob i'll let ya know what I think

kuso

dvlmn.....just to take IT`s post a little further, if you can get one with both glucsamine, and chondroitin it`s supposed to work much better than the glucosamine on it`s own.

dvlmn666

thanks, Kuso. Lucky was so pissed at work tonight, that I didn't go pick some up already, instead I just went home. lol

kuso

No problem......... I just hope it works for you.

I tried it, without the best results, but I think the workout I was doing at the time was just way overboard for someone with joint problems ( HST!! ) I stopped, the workout, and so far, so good.

You get drunk where you work at too? I thought that was just me.lol

Knees were really sore today, I'm going to get some of that stuff IT and Kuso reccomended. It's just an ache but managed to push my way through a leg workout. I have the worst time getting myself motivated when it comes to doing legs by myself. With a partner I can kick ass, but by myself it's hard to stay motivated

but I'm getting better at it. Legs are sore already

Thanks for the reccomendation guys.

ha ha, cheap bastard
Way to go on staying motivated by yourself. It's hard but sounds like you're doing great If you have trouble finding that stuff then eat jello. I know it sounds crazy but it is really good for the joints.
