So is it possible to do cardio and weight-lifting on the same day?

I mean NOT 8 hours later, I mean like a few minutes after lifting?

I figure HIIT would drain you like crazy, but it seems some people still suggest regular cardio after lifting:

Is it possible to do this if you want to lose fat--or is it just too risky? (Like catabolism of muscle or anything?)

First of all...Don't beleive everything written on this site...There are tons of different writers who express different ideas...Which none of which agree with eachother.

Second of all...I do cardio right after or before lifting too sometimes..I have no problems.

i'd let your muscles have break before running. take a post workout shake then run 2 hours after that

It's skechy, I'm still experimenting with it.

I will say though that on Wednesday I had an hour and a half rugby practice, and then went and deadlifted 20 lbs more then I had ever done before at my gym workout, as well as curling more. So, I think it's different for different people as well as based on diet.

Regardless though, I have to say that I honestly noticed that the more protien consumed the less catabolism I found occured. Also, the workout being done after the cardio also has less of a catabolic effect, at least in my opinion.

I've played basketball right after lifting and I did fine, still grew, but I would definately recomend eating after lifting, before the cardio.

This board tends to be anti-cardio so don't buy into everything.
