When do you do your cardio?

[deco]

I'm hittin the gym 3 times a week right now doing 5x5 and want to throw in some cardio.

Is it better to do it on the off days or do it pre/post workout?

It would be more convinient for me to do it after lifting since I have almost no time on the other days except saturday and sunday.

when trying to cut, i'll throw in my cardio at the end of the workout. Thinking that after a hardwork your body will have expended most of its stored carbs so now you'll be burning more fat in a shorter period of time. If your doing the 5x5 i'd think you are bulking so i'm not sure.

I do it after , since strength is my #1 priority.

Cardio also wares me out qwk, I just can't lift after....

I go to the gym 4-5 days a week, and do 30 - 40 minutes or cardio after...unless it's leg day...and then I just wobble on home.

ill lift for 20 minutes then run a mile or 2 then lift 15-20 more minutes then do another 15-20 minutes cardio.... seems to work for me.... example if im working arms at a high volume and pace, when they get weak i do some cardio then when im done my arms are ready to go at it again.... ive seen some good results since i started some cardio in the middle of my workout 4 weeks ago
