    how to tell if a workout has been beneficial

    did 45 min. on treadmill burned 400 cal. so the machine says.
    3 sets of military press then
    760lbs on squat press 4 sets, could do more
    benched a little, then leg extensions . wonder if i accomplished anything because i dont feel tired.

    thinking i should do 90 min. on tread mill or would doing to much have negative
    results ?

    cardi before weights is a big no no
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    Mr. Lam how long do you figure a person should wait to lift if they do cardio first thing out of bed?

    LAM, what are the physiological reasons for this? Is it simply glucose depletion or something else?
    So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
    of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
    about another group that actually does something
    to improve their lives.

    after each training session it's best to give your body a rest so the endocrine system can do it's job and get back to baseline levels. remember that controlling cortisol is the 2nd best way to increasing anabolism.

    I've noticed that when I had done cardio before weights in the past, that I would be too beat to do weights afterwards. Cardio after weights is great though! Still tired, but I feel like I am running till I'm on E (empty) which is a great feeling. Gotta make sure to stretch well though.

    yeah, my lifting partner and I have been getting in the habit of lifting first and then playing a couple hard games of 1on1 basketball afterwards. We definitely feel like we've got good workouts after that. Can't do it on leg days though, we just wipe out on the b-ball court with our jelly legs.
