    Welcome to bb.com. Strong first post! (j/k)

    I think it just comes down to doing it, doesn't matter if it's before or after. It's just what you prefer. Personally, I prefer cardio after weights.

    I think you will find the prevailing opinion is to do cardio following strength training. The reason being you wouldn't be as strong after doing the cardio, and it's best to be at your strongest when lifting.

    People have posted studies that shows it is more efficient to do cardio after weights. I prefer to do my cardio after so that I don't waste energy before my lifts.

    Do what works for you. I prefer fun cardio such as hiking, skiing, trail running etc... so for the most part I keep my weights and cardio separated.

    On the days I have to do indoor cardio I do some before and after lifting. I just find it too boring to do it all at once.

    I consider this topic one that goes into the "let's not over think this".

    In muscle mag articles there are all kinds of silly ideas such as these that focus on the minutia with big words that make it sound legit, it's mostly BS.

    If you enjoy doing cardio before then do so, if after that's fine as well. If not at all that's your call. The point is what is more important is the reason for doing the cardio. If it's for general

    conditioning and all you are doing is 20 minutes then pick the one that you prefer. If it's for losing weight 20 minutes of cardio will have very little affect, and if cutting down pretty low you

    would want to save your cardio for later in the cut when you begin to stall. GL

    Depends if your cardio is high intensity( high heart rate) medium or low. High intensity may zap a bit of your weight training max strength while low may just warm up your body. Think about your goals first and then decide when to do your cardio. Over the years for me it made little diff.

    Makes no difference whatsoever. I do cardio after lifting because I want to save my energy for bigger lifts.

    Anyone that says cardio is detrimental to muscular growth and strength can kiss my a$$. I climb trees and do landscaping all day long, go to the gym after work, lift and do cardio for 30 minutes, and have gained strength like crazy in the last 3 months in addition to dropping about 15 lbs.
