When is the best time to do cardio before i lift or after lifting? I have heard that afterwards is the best because you use all the glycogen in your muscles lifting then when you do cardio your body burns more fat...is this true? I perfer to do it afterwards because i feel that i get a better lift that way.

I did 15 miutes on the glider last night after Squats and I about died!
Don't forget to do 5-10 minutes before lifting to warm-up though. However, the actual cardio session should definitely be performed after lifting, or preferably on a day when you don't lift.
I do Cardio totally seperate from my lifting. Typically I'll do Cardio in the AM (on an empty stomach) and then lift later in the evening.
If I had to combine the two I would definately do cardio afterwards.

Hope you're at least taking in some BCAA's before that empty stomach cardio.
after...save your muscle strength for weights...plus, weight training first gets your heart rate pumping and ready for cardio
Oh yes, I'll pop a pill and a couple of fish caps prior to my 1-hour cardio burn. I just don't eat a meal prior. I just wake up, take my supps and head out to the Stairmaster (or whatever exercise suits me that day).musclepump said:
I usually eat some whole grain cereal (Kashi) or some rolled oats when I get back.
