Morning cardio

[sicko]

Hey

During my bulk I do 3 cardio sessions on non-weightlifting days......

One of them is normal-intensity for 30 mins and the others are 20-25 mins HIT.

My HIIT pre-nutrition is carbs-protein and post nutrition carbs-protein immediately..

Now....for the normal intensity and in order to minimize any muscle waste....

I wake up I take 30-35 grams of Whey with some creatine at 8 am .... at 8.30 am i Take 5 BCAA caps and a caffeine pill( 1250 mg Leucine, 1250mg Glutamine, 800 Isoleucine, 800 Valine + Vitamin C)...i hit the cardio for 30 mins....immediately after i take 5 more BCAA Caps...and 35 mins later I have my breakfast Oats,WHey,Egg whites, cinnamon etc ( 50-60 carbs,35 protein)... Is this ideal to prevent any muscle loss? ...

Add a bit of fruit to both of those meals and I would say yes, you will be good
