Best time to do Cardio?

Along the bcaa route I find taking a half scoop of whey really helps to take the body out of catbolism and jump starts your metabolism. Doing cardio then will still give you the benefits of the fasted cardio but you will take less energy from muscle and more from fat.

Son

The best time to do cardio is WHEN YOU HAVE THE FRAKING TIME. PERIOD.

You wont belive the amount of chicks that pass out, I mean flat out fucked up and laying on the floor in the gym, after dropping on thier asses on the treadmill from doing a lot of crazy shit. When we bring them back to themselves, 8 out of 10 didnt have breakfast or anything to eat cuz these jackasses want to burn fat so they work out on an EMPTY STOMACH. OH I heard it from my girl friend to do that cuz it worked for her.

Some of the fellas are just the same also, wanting the new metro sexual look and all that bullshit wanting to fit into skinny jackets. Gimme a fucking break.

If the morning works for you, then cool , son! By the time you get to the gym at the end of the day, after work, all you need to do is carb up a bit to get thru your cardio or workout. NEVER, and I MEAN NEVER, do shit on completly EMPTY STOMACH. Yeay yeahyeah all the studies out their say do this and do that, with all the fancy numbers to back up university this , university that!

Find out what works for your body and rock with it. Find a fat burner that work and go with it. Find a carb meal that gives you good energy and go for it. It could be as simple as a fucking granola bar and half an apple.

Do you bro. Just be safe about it.

1 sometimes you gotta make time.. squeeze out 25hrs in a 24 hr day.. again there is a psychological factor to getting up and running. its not just math or cals in vs cals out.. the mental factor can make a huge difference.. a great coach of mine once said how productive was the last hour you were awake last night vs what I want you to do from 530am-630m.. is it easy.. nope.. but is it worth it.. yup

2 never do anything on an empty stomach.... no reason to state that.. none.. if it doesnt work for you thats fine

You're dropping weight because you're burning a lot of calories and eating less. It has nothing to do with the time of day. There is also ZERO evidence that a particular heart rate burns more calories other than you;re expending more energy. That can be done with extended effort, or shorter high intensity effort. In other words, if you run a mile in 10 minutes or walk a mile in 30 minutes -- you still travelled one mile and the amount of calories burned is about the same.

Generally speaking I agree BUT high intensity work causes the bodies metabolism to be elevated for an additional 12-24 causes causing an added fat burning effect that has been documented in many studies.

Based on my experience I know that everyone is different. So what works great for me might not work for you. With that said If I wanted to do my cardio at the best time I would keep a log book and include my diet, body weight, Cardio session information (Time of day and length also record when last weight training session was). This is a trial and error process but you will be able to determine the best time.
I do my cardio sessions in the morning on an empty stomach. I try to sweat and stay sweating untill its over. I also drink as much water as I can during cardio. I dont do any cardio near a weight training session. I believe that only invites your body to go into a catabolic state.

I lost the most fat by doing morning cardio fasted. BUT I really don't have much time for that and I wake up so damn hungry.

I find that the easiest time for me is right after weight training. My heart rate is already elevated so I can just jump on the bike.

ECA stack makes a big difference to me in my cardio weight loss as well.

If you are on AAS, you probably don't have to worry about losing muscle from cardio. Just get the cardio in and you're good.

what about taking some liquid albuterol first thing in the morning before fasted cardio since it gives you energy and leads to fat being used as the primary source of energy, anyone else try this?

Not even with the use of BCAAs? Pretty sure they make you body not catabolic... In fact leaving your body anabolic. And if there is no energy supply added and your body is loaded with bcaas, this should in fact make your go to the fat source and absorb the water for energy... So doing cardio with the use of BCAAs will help make your body not eat your muscle but fuel from another source... pretty sure that was basic anatomy, but if you can refere a study or some logs that state other wise im sold on it... Help me during pre contest cutting.... body was 100 % more fueled... i do believe in the placebo effect however... but just interested... because if it doesnt matter, id save the supplement... Thanks bro
