Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I allways have/ still will allways lean bulk. But I'm completely retarded when it comes to cardio. Is there a certain time or certain thing I should do If I wanted to burn fat only (not calories) once or MAYBE twice a week to go along with my 4 day split? I ask this because it would probably help me in my lean bulking.
Lean bulking and cardio?
- Thread starter tommboy
- Start date
So many people say to do cardio first thing in the morning. But does anyone know why?
Actually I know the answer to that, but it is a misconception, though an understandable one since it's been promulgated by so many for so long. (Even in the absence of evidence).
Cardio in the morning and/or on an empty stomach does not burn any more fat than cardio at any other time. It is, however, more catabolic.

Catabolism is the metabolic process that breaks down molecules into smaller units. It is made up of degradative chemical reactions in the living cell. Large polymeric molecules (polysaccharides, fatty acids, nucleic acids and proteins) are processed into their constituent monomeric units (i.e. monosaccharides, carbon units, nucleotides and amino acids, respectively).
Cells use monomers to construct new polymeric molecules and disassemble them to simple cellular metabolites (lactic acid, acetic acid, carbon dioxide, ammonia, urea, etc.). The creation of cellular metabolites is an oxidation process involving a release of chemical free energy, not all of which is lost as heat, but some of which is partially conserved through the coupled synthesis of adenosine triphosphate. The hydrolysis of this compound is subsequently used to drive almost every energy-requiring reaction in the cell. Catabolism provides the chemical energy necessary for the maintenance of the living cell. Examples of catabolic processes include breakdown of muscle protein in order to use amino acids as substrates for gluconeogenesis and breakdown of fat in adipose to fatty acids.
Because it is counterproductive to have anabolic and catabolic processes occurring in cells simultaneously, there are many signals that switch on anabolic processes while switching off catabolic processes and vice versa. Most of the known signals are hormones and the molecules involved in metabolism itself. Endocrinologists have traditionally classified many of the hormones as anabolic or catabolic.
