I know there's quite a few threads floating around here about cardio, but I didn't want to hi-jack. Hopefully I can get a few solid answers and this baby gets buried in the archives.
I'm thinkin about goin to 2-a day cardio for the rest of this cycle in order to get right just in time for shirtless season. I'm gonna be working a 2nd job during the days roofing starting in April so I want passers by to stop and shout me their number and what not.
Anyways, I'm aware that after lifting, one's glycogen stores are spent and the body resorts to fat for energy much quicker, but I'm having trouble justifying not taking advantage of the most anabolic window of my day as far as diet goes. The body can digest almost double the amount of protein that it normally can post-workout.
So for the question part - For those of you who do cardio after lifting, do you bring your whey or BCAA's to the gym and drink it before you start cardio? Or do you just waste this time period and take the tradeoff?
